Strickland Arms Bed and Breakfast Austin

Five weeks, 8 major cities, four continents, 4 radio stations, 8 food markets, 6 tribal or fishing villlages, WMDB actually walked past 19 bookstores in A-dam, 20+ musuems, pickled herring sandwiches, chocolate waffles, pancakes to DIE for, trams, Red Light District, the lights and sights and fashionable footwear of Paris, swarms of hunger immigrants selling everything from super-glue to TP on the streets, cattle stampedes, and the second worst roads I have ever encountered.

... 18 days I will break my own heart. In 18 days I will die. But this isn't a story about 18.

This is a story about 19 days. In 19 days I will be reborn. In 19 days I will know my own freedom. In 19 days I will witness the Pacman effect in full action. I will have nothing. I will have everything. I am being made very nervous the closer the day comes. It is a ...

I want to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving.
I had a great thanksgiving week. I want to thank some of you who have already donated. Thank You.

My grandparents came and brought me money from some of my sponsors. I had to make sure I sent out thank you e-mails. My dad had to send in more money to People to People so I could get a confirmed spot in the program.

I will have soap for sale soon, and details of my other fundraisers.

... much trapped by its shape but it did decide to shed some secondary positive cables that were running the fuel pump. Popped the hood, saw my culprit, slapped it all back together with a few bungees and the truck fired right back up where it was. I'm feeling pretty good right now. No overheating issues, no fuel leaking, no starvation, no horrible noises, just smooth moves. Can you dig it? The Jipo can.

... way up there. I know there are places to see huge sky in Tennessee and Kentucky, but it really looks different here. At some point I had to make a sharp U-ey, for I spied a watermelon stand! At $9, not cheap, but it was grown in McAllen, TX, and it was huge! Of course, that necessitated another stop to find a comparably huge knife. My camp knife just wouldn't cut it. Literally. ha I tickle myself!

... wondering what I would get to see and what I would miss. It was the first
time that I was so vividly reminded of the price of living abroad. I miss
my parents and family and friends, but in the course of a few months or a
couple of years, many of them come to visit me, and the ones I don't see don't
change much. So for Libby to go from non-existence to ...

... delivers,.... but its right down the street A guy says,do you have a gas can?No,I respond .I wish I had one now, I'm thinking) Okay he says, I have one at home .We will go and get it, and then to the gas station.  I tell Diane I will right back, going to get some fuel. She locks all doors, and sits, it stops raining. This guy (never got his name) is a red sox fan, and pulls a trailer himself, just got back from  Pittsburgh, pulling some kind of race cars or something he says. We go ...

I went on a little weekend trip to Austin to visit the old crew. Quick shout out to Nissan for giving the employees Good Friday off. I was able to work remotely because of it! Flew out Thursday night. There were weather delays so I spent some time in the Nashville airport bar and made a new friend named Damian. Interestingly, even though the NCAAs were on, the TV in the bar was tuned to figure skating. Does anyone actually watch figure skating in this country? Over ...

... mom, it drove her crazy. Well, after we arrived in Houston, she was still worrying and she went through her passport walled for about the 10th time, but this time she noticed the picture. She had dad's passport and he had hers (and her $40)!!! We had to take them off at security and they got switched at that time!
