The Bed Rox 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.

... thing to see it coming, to have had a major hand in the choice. Why do it? I don't know. I couldn't answer that before and I know I can't answer it now. But what I do know is it sounds exciting, interesting, different, and something that will be uniquely ours. Even if it means nothing at all, it will be ours. And that means everything.

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.

... plastic liquid packs that you must freeze. Between the four of us here, we go through a crate or two a week. Crates of 100. Oh well. Least they aren't third pounders...

I've been becoming a big fan of me again lately. I feel like my role is settling itself again, clearing up and catching up with me. And when the two of us get to rolling together, things work. Use it.

... o:shapelayout>I was lucky enough to watch my oldest niece and
nephew grow up. I coached their soccer and basketball teams and taught
them inappropriate words. I let my nephew shift gears and basically drive
my truck when he was 4. I was 21. I shouldn't have been allowed
around children. So it was bittersweet hanging out with Libby and ...

... The Mexic-Arte Museum is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a large exhibit of items from its permanent collection. Grouped in themes of Connections, Struggle, Consciousness, Rebirth and Memory, the works featured a wide variety of media, from painting to carving to installation. I enjoyed the wide variety of art, although I just don't get the fascination with Day of the Dead. As an official sister ...

... so its a good time to chill out. Bob came back about 8 and we sat and talked for awhile, going to go to his house for supper on Tuesday. Bob is trying to think of things to show us.(I don't think there is much) but we will have fun anyways. Tuesday....... Time to explore  We drive a few miles on route 6 and find Sheets, a big gas station, sells diesel fuel. I fill the truck up, 136 dollars worth. drive a little more through town, we see this building, it must be one Bob was telling ...

... Overall the trip was a lot easier than we imagined it would be. Obviously it is important that you like driving and that don't mind spending the whole day on the road if you have to. But ultimately it is your trip so you can create your own schedule and take as much time as you want. In general the roads are fine throughout Central and South America ( especially the primary/main roads), any regular car that is in good shape should have no problem making the trip ...

... first one I really got into was while he was in Central America. I fell in love with his stories and photos, all of which are absolutely amazing. So when he started another one for SE Asia and things started to get slower at work (no, I don't work for Hastings anymore. I have a nice desk job where I can pretend to work but really read Asia stories), I of course was hooked again, like a good book in which you have to wait a week for the next ...
