... home and at school, makes us believe that financial and societal stability should reign the world. Money and status become the bottom line. We start believing that only a few have the potential to live out their childhood dreams and that the rest of us should be satisfied with a menial life. <br><br> We deceive ourselves into believing that those dreams are childish and irrational and that life is good even without fulfilling these dreams. We ...

... br>Anyway, Omakase has been open for about 3 years, but we never really thought much about it because we thought it was a Japanese restaurant, as its name suggests. However, in recent months we found out that it is, in fact, a French restaurant.<br><br>We did attend a wine event there where we got to taste some creations by the chef paired with some nice wines, and we also got to meet him and see that he is passionate about his cuisine. So we made a reservation ...

... a list of things we still need to make this easier and more fun. The sausage toe has been trying to heal since the first week we were gone. I had made this killer ham sandwich with organic tomatoes and wasn't watching where I was going. The tomatoe started to slide off and while trying to stop it from hitting the floor, I ran straight into a hallway wall and broke my second toe severly (not to mention, I lost the damn tomatoe anyway). It ...

We will have been back in SoCal for two weeks exactly when we leave tomorrow, and although we've packed a lot in, there are still a number of friends that we won't get to see : ( The schedules, with multiple doctor appointments, moving the motorhome to new locations, and driving long distances to see family members and friends, were absolutely hectic, and, at times, frustrating, as we would drive by our former places of work or friends' houses and ...

... rock (Pinto Gneiss) which, when it eroded away, revealed the underlying granite. I also learn that the Joshua Trees for which the Park is named, only occur in the northern half of the Park because that part of the Park is in the southern end of the Mojave desert. The Mojave has a higher elevation than the Colorado Desert, which dominates the southern half of the Park. The cholla cactus pictured are in the lower, Colorado Desert. As much as I'd like to linger, it's ...

... life of me understand why people would be so supportive of nuclear weapons and war and mass destruction. Killing of innocents, encouragement of hate and violence. It might sound naive (and I'm willing to sound naive), but the violence doesn't seem to be working. And it breaks my heart to hear people say they support a social creation that is so destructive and hateful. On our way back, two of the community members decided that they needed to use the restroom... but there wasn't one ...

... as everyone expects it to be. It had many postcard viewpoints of evergreen-lined shores and lapis lazuli waters, with cotton clouds floating over the slight breeze. But Tahoe is also known as a winter destination, and although I could imagine the mountains ringing the lake as good ski areas, I can't conceive of the area supporting many skiers, not to mention how the buses must have to maneuver the sheer-sided roads around the lake. After we returned to ...

Hullo Well here I am in Los Angeles - City of Angels they tell me. Got here on Friday. Last time I was in New York and the weather had been utter *****, however it did clear up on the Saturday and I did get to do the Staten Island Ferry (freebie) which goes past the Statue of Liberty. After that I went up the Empire State Building and enjoyed the great view, well eventually that is; it took ages to get there as everyone who had been in NY for a few ...

... Our excellent hosts spent the next week showing us the sights and sounds of the real LA not the usual tourist one that everybody goes to see. We ate delicious meals of Laos, Thai and Mexican food prepared by them and reminisced about our travels, sharing photos and good times we all have had. Chris invited us to his school, Long ...
