... doen.

Charles en Kamala onze gastheer en gastvrouw van de warmshowerlist zijn prettig gezelschap.
Omdat er sneeuw voorspelt is blijven we 2 dagen extra en het gaat werkelijk sneeuwen.
Woensdag is het dan zover. We worden aan de westkant van de stad gebracht en fietsen 100 km naar Columbus

... and neon of the U.S.A and then to look out to the left and to see the sparse sprinkling of streetlights on the Mexico side. Staying at a Mariott Hotel which is evidently only 10 days old! The room we are staying in is lovely and the kids enjoyed a dip in the inside pool (although they said it wasn't particularly warm!).

... at some point during the night, these are devoid of any timeline at all. More karaoke, waiting till the bar closed and helping my bartender friend's bartender friend clean up ( all the bartenders in El Paso know each other), Blood Sweat and Tears, someone lighting the wrong end of a cigarette, and very loud Mexican techno music across the alley that made me hit my head.

All in all, this was a pretty good adventure. I think.

... and motion pictures . Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and Ta Prom ( of Lara Croft fame), truly a wonder of the world. Ha Long Bay , home to scores of beautiful teak junks, big and small, motorized and also equipped wth ribbed fan sails, moving gently amid incredibly gigantic karst rock formations appearing out of mist and haze. Phrang Ga and James Bond Island (yes, we did the tourist boats); canals of Bangkok, enroute to the Royal Temple, through a residential area, huge homes amid ...

We will arrive today in El Paso, TX. I will be teaching two seminars at a Waldorf and Healing Conference in El Paso, TX on the 19th. There may still be openings so if you are interested please contact me at: herbnhome@yahoo.com . I will travel again on the 20th and will be back in El Paso on the 23rd of July. I do not have any appointments other than the conference scheduled for this stop.

... stands at every crossroads...no touristic interest it just match with the name: el paso...we don't stay here we just pass...anyway i keep a good remenber on crossing the border bridge from US to Mexico, feeling of deja vu and cliche in the same time...

... of time and space between different age groups that is far from the lock-your-children-away-from-the-pedoph iles and stick the aged in homes attitude that we see in most English speaking countries. In the US they segregate even further by keeping young people out of bars (and therefore the majority of entertainment in small towns i.e. live music ect) until they become repressed Mormons or rebel and drink themselves into oblivion anyway! I think that we ...

... bags. A long line of dust covered pick-ups and SUVs stretches back for several hundred yards. CNN reports that W is on his ranch in Crawford, a few hundred miles to the east. I keep an eye out for potential right-wing nutcases but they´re hard to spot. Most people in El Paso are immigrants from Mexico or U.S. born ´Chicanos´. Though the latter group speaks English with a twang equal to that of any gringo, the Spanish language predominates. Next day, I join the crowds ...

... on to Camp Wood. At the earlier 36-mile SAG stop Delores had told me everyone else was quite a ways behind, so I also didn't want to wait an hour for the other riders to show up. I was in Camp Wood several hours ahead of the rest of the group. I wiped down my bike, showered, and ate my lunch while sitting on the bench outside my hotel room. I talked with Erin, and enjoyed a long chat with Kaitlyn. David is meeting me tomorrow in Vanderpool, and I can't wait. Dinner ...
