... can build this stairway even with the lastest in techonology. The mystery deepens as to where did the wood come from since it cannot be found anywhere in this region. I invite you to do some further research into this stairway, you will be amazed at the mystery that it holds to this day.<br>As I look back at my two years living in New Mexico, I will always remember the long drives we would take touring the state and these memories will last a life time as I was truly enchanted.<br><br>

... We spent several hours in the museum, but had to cut it short because we knew we only had the one day to get a quick overview of all there is to see in Ottawa. Easily could have spent the whole day in that one museum but left, hoping to see a bit more at the end of the day when we returned to pick up the vehicle from parking. <br><br>Umbrella opened, we hiked across the Alexandria bridge to see the parliament buildings on ...

August 22- Sat- Up about 7, finished packing, loaded the car and in my pajamas drove back to the house to shower! And off at 8:45. A few stops on the way, one 20 mile rainstorm that let me only go 20 MPH and visibility down to 1 ½ car lengths&#8212;What a rain storm! I stopped several times but could not nap so drove on-Gas in NY almost $3 a gallon. Nuvi showed me a 12 hour trip but I made it into 16 hours, and NO geocaching. Arrived at Beckys in Ottawa Canada at ...

Technically, my flight home was only 20 minutes long but I slept for an hour on it (time zone humour, groan)<br><br>Anyway, I met a nice boy, Peter, who will be playing pipe drums in Ottawa this week. I told him to tell me when and where his show was going to be, so maybe I'll see that later on.<br>

Well, we all woke up in time for brunch at dimsum in Kensington market. I wasn't too impressed with the place where we went, but it was good enough. <br><br>John took us around the Kensington area and also to see his bar. It's pretty cool, in front is a casual bar type place, and in the back there is a stage for theatre productions and also bands to play after. So it's kind of ingenious. You get to turn the crowd over twice in one night for ...

... to discover the beautiful "suburbs": Coyacan (Frieda Khalo the famous Mexican painter grew up here), San Angel (Diego Rivera, Frieda's husband and another Mexican painter icon had his studio there), Polanco (where the rich live), Condesa (bohemian equals to Soho). Then on the last day, he took us to see the Teotihuacan pyramids (a 45 km distance) and finally back to the airport for departure. The in-between day we spent exploring downtown on our own, using the subway and ...

... the strays something to be proud of and a symbol of the buildings. As a cat lover, this definitely made my morning, petting all the kitties and taking pictures of their home. I also walked around the Rideau Canal which was built on the St. Lawrence River between Ontario and Quebec (something I also didn't know until this trip, but Ottawa is right on the border of french Canada. not more than a 2 minute drive). It was a popular spot for runners because the Canal was ...

... of 8 lanes both ways in and out of the city, mind you, the population of the greater Toronto area, apparently, is 1/3 the population of Canada, so to service the greater area of a of approximately 10million people, it requires a good system to move them around. We stopped at a truck/rest area and had morning tea, then continued along the freeway to Kingston. This turn off took us through a small town that has be held in a development time warp, from our short ...

Jogging steadily over the bridge we made our way towards the RA centre where our clue sheet indicated would be the site for a Chase Point. We heard from some others that this particular Chase Point would only open at 11:30 which I thought was strange as there was no indication of that on the clue sheet and the host never mentioned that during the opening speech. Anyways, it was a moot point since it was about 11:45 when we reached there. We were still looking for our 3rd ...

... I was *************ly one struggling. Many people around me were in the same pathetic phase that I was and they were all fighting onwards. I was truly inspirational to see them all keep going and that only served to push my own limits. Not far after the 35km mark I was passed, with ease I might add, by another pace bunny. This was was the 4:15 pace bunny. Man I'm just dying here. I couldn't keep up with him. Not even for 10 seconds. But I did not want to get passed ...
