We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

Today was all about seeing Seattle. We drove to the Seattle Public Library. This is an 11 story glass structure by dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. It is considered in some lists one of the 10 buildings to see in the world. It did not disappoint. The children's section was amazing. I hope Mia and Caroline will see it one ...

Seit gestern Abend nun sind Simon und ich nach einer Marathon-Tour von ca. 600 Meilen bei meiner Tante und ihrer Family angekommen. Nach 4 Tagen am Lake Tahoe, reichlich Party und Beach-Chilling, kroenten wir unseren letzten Abend mit einem tollen Feuerwerk zum Labor Day. Am Morgen ging es dann ueber Napa Valley ...

... or even a BBQ dinner, etc. Then on Labor Day weekend we had two big parties. First, on Saturday, we had about 25 people at Sami's for BBQ chicken and pot luck dishes and most importantly, for me, was the Costco cake (that I really like and never have a chance to get), so we called the party an 'Un-Birthday Party' and everybody had a good time.<br><br>Then on Sunday, we went over to other friends, Patty and Tim's place for BBQ hamburgers and lots more ...

... We walked around for a bit at Portland - not a whole lot there either. Decided not to stay there cos we had some time to make up so we kept driving - said we'd stop at 7pm wherever we were haha. So we ended up staying at a super 8 at Creswell about an hour south of Salem. The guy at the front desk was hilarious - he loved our accents so just kept on ...

We stopped in Ashland close to dusk.<br><br>I drove through the center strip by SOU.<br><br>We stopped in downtown and walked.<br><br>We went to the theater to see if a play was happening that night.<br><br>We went to sushi, it was not very good.<br><br>We took the very difficult 101 highway to Klamath Falls during a dark night.<br>

... if you buy your beer at the distributors on the leeward side of the island. Wish Willy's is a great if not unique dining experience. Overall Caye Caulker is a little touristy but not too bad. Placencia is a nice "village" . The village label barely fits because it seems more like a town. The are more tourists there than in Caye Caulker thus more selections of restaurants and various services. You can walk anywhere in the "village". If taking the bus to ...

... Raggamuffin' Tours. 3 days 2 nights with snorkeling, fishing and camping out on a couple cayes along the way. Sounds just terrible but I think we can tough it out. Once in Placencia we will be staying at Harry's Cozy Cabanas for 6 nights. After that we haven't planned anything really. We are planning on seeing some Mayan Ruins but not sure which ones. Car rentals are way to spendy so we probably will take the bus alot. My (Jill's) dad left today for Hopkins Village, so ...

... able to keep up. Quite a few mention an intense Christian faith. They'll be interested when we go through Corinth and when we visit Areopagus Hill where Paul addressed the Athenians, and maybe a few will want to make pilgrimages to Patmos, Thessaloniki, Ephesus, or Tarsus. I'd like to go to the Orthodox monasteries of Mount Athos, but they don't allow anything with XX chromosomes. Of course, all of this is on top of the normal routine of ...

Our next stop was a tour of the Harry and David national plant and bake shop in Medford. It was really fun to see how the products are produced and hand-packed. We learned that most of the fruit is picked up to 5 months prior to being shipped to a customer. They actually have pear plants in Chile and New Zealand in addition to Medford, enabling year-round picking of their famous pears.
