... out at 27c/81f yesterday - which was nice.

Jet lag got the better of me and I hit a wall around 8pm. I am in the far west wing of the ranch and the soft bed and total quiet was just was I needed to get a full 7 hours sleep – only interrupted by something scratching at the walls – probably a massive spider or some other scary critter – whatever I was way too tired to care….zzzzzz

What I ...

... in english and european history, and no job. after completely freaking out for about a month, i followed my friend catie's advice and looked up languagecorps- a company that first trains you to be an ESL teacher, gives you a TESOL certificate, and helps you find a job. somehow, i got myself signed up for the prague program, and on september 3, i leave this: for the fairy tale city 6000+ miles away. it'll be nine ...

... activity, it was something to do. But I'd be a little late. So we got back to Carrie's place, got all packed up and took off for the airport. I said my (difficult) fairwell and then I was off towards the meeting. One step at a time. I get stuck in some traffic but was only 20 minutes late to the discussion meeting in Albany, CA. Now that I think about it, this is technically my first discussion meeting that I'd be attending on this trip. They ...

... Many women in dresses just tucked the dress between their legs and off they go, zooming through the city. Since there is so little parking, especially in the cities, you can park just about anywhere which usually means the sidewalks, but it works. Double parking is a common occurrence at least in Rome. I had the most difficult time driving in Florence. We were staying in the historic city district near the Duomo (the big domed church), where the streets and traffic patterns were ...

as we recently changed our plans from australia to the americas we decided to fly into this amazing city to get a good start which is not easy after over two years in asia. everything should be more familiar, but actually it isn't. a western country confronted us quickly with a mentality less forgiving and more demanding, with prices hard to digest for the budget ...

... interrupted by Colonal Sanders of KFC fame who wandered on the bus with a stripy suit and manky old food in his beard...what an eye opener! We had only seen folk like this on TV - welcome to Hollywood!!! Awe-sooooooooommmmmmeeeeeee!!! We went past The Viper room, Johnny Depp's infamous club and Whisky-a-go-go opposite. We saw an billboard on Sunset Strip for Ricky Gervais, which was good to see because we are currently reading 'Ricky ...

... hear the Japanese children now... "Mummy... look at the dopey-looking Limeys driving down that steep hill... mummy, mummy they looked ****-scared...". The whole of the city is very very hilly, which is very strange to drive AND walk around, although we managed to find the few tunnels to walk through to save the legs from a few of the hills! The city is very urban, with houses rather than flats, its all very clean, and the further out you walk from the ...

... landed on the adjacent tarmac at the same time we did - pretty exhilarating as it weebled and wobbled back and forth right beside us. As I was connecting to a United flight out of the international terminal (and I was in the domestic terminal) I got to take a commuter shuttle between the two terminals so that I wouldn't have to clear security again. As we drove through the underbelly of SFO ...

... Francisco Chronicle featured a map of North America divided in two, with the blue designated Canada incorporating the coastal US (The United States of Canada) and the rest marked red as 'Jesusland'. This doesn't seem so far fetched when analysts report that the election was won mainly on 'the morality issue' and President Bush appears on Doctor Phil talking about the God-fearing way he raised his daughters.. San Francisco is breathtakingly beautiful, the bay one of the ...
