... They have a working 1852 Albion Printing Press and will soon start printing classes.

There is a nice collection of Henry Evans prints, as well as many other artist.

The collection has free admission, free parking nearby, and is located in downtown Vallejo. It is a short walk from the ferry terminal. The easiest way to view the collection is to first ...

... I have ever had - forgot to put cream on my forehead. It glows. Not the most flattering look). Back at the hotel, I caught the lift with some fellow guests, getting off on the same floor as they did. I was courteous. I was helpful. And then, as I walked past them, all I could hear was "<expletive> did he stink of garlic or what!". Ahh, the proud badge of someone who has dined at the Stinking Rose. A pleasant way to end the day....

... Or the red pill, and see reality for what it truly is? I'm happy I took the red one. Like Prince Siddhartha, upon leaving his protected life in his Kingdom and for the first time seeing someone who was dead, sick and old - he realize how he was living in a dream. He was not living in reality. He was living in a sanitized existence. Sheltered. Edited. Abundant. And totally in authentic. Not the truth. As my friend Deb would say, and I think ...

... night is pub crawl night. A decent crowed of about 30 people gathered and we trundled around 2 bars and 2 clubs, I think I managed to numb the pain a little!!! Saturday was a day for doing NOTHING... I had forked out $300 the previous day for the tattoo so I sat around, reading and sleeping most of the day, I didn't venture far and decided to just chill out in the hostel bar for the evening as it was cheap and I knew most of the people there. During the day ...

... got a good work out! We went to Coit Tower and saw the sights from up high. We could make out Alcatraz, but it was not a very clear day.... we looked into tours going over there. But it was just sooo expensive and entire tour took too long, so we decided to give that a miss! The world's crookedist street was worth a visit too and just wandering around looking at the old and colourful buildings was great. It was a full day, but a lot of fun!

... place and we discovered things about it that you can only discover by being there. It was odd and fortuitous that we made it there at all; just last Christmas we had presumed that a visit to the Holy Land might not be in the cards: too far away and too volatile to plan to visit with any real confidence or certainty. We're both glad that circumstances surprised us with this opportunity and it looks certain that it will not be the last time that I need to go there. It was such a ...

... was actually quite tasty. but some of my peeps didn`t like the funy music so we went to the club next door. Element Lounge- but that was too hot and swaety and hiphoppy for me. Anelya was hella drunk and did some crzy stuff we als went to have burger at 3am with tosn of other party ppl which was quite an adventure. Sunday we were sooo tired but went to Party City to buy the decoration for the beach party and later met Anna&julia at Bassap Baobap to have african food.

... restaurant closed and this letter posted on the front door. The clerk explained to us that the letter lists her failure to pay her rent and other contractual offenses. He told us that a letter like this is posted as a means of shaming the operator of the establishment in addition to the actual eviction. The story had apparently been quite a local stir of late. In Ljubljana, maybe you really can't fight city hall! There was another ...

... concourse, so I headed down there to see if Linda was hold up there waiting for me. No such luck. Not having my mobile phone with me, nor any American change (yes, I did have, Hong Kong dollars, Chinese yuan, Mongolian togrog, Russian rubles, Euros and English pound sterling change, but no American), I wouldn't be able to go to a pay phone and call her, so I was left with no option but to set and wait. I had no sooner set down than in she walks. Seems that she had ...

... Pleasant Hill today and noodled over some of our plans with our friend, Janelle. We also picked up a great book on Venice and reviewed some travel tips with our new Slovenian "pen pal" Urska. Two weeks to go! Stephne & Kevin
