... of repacking the car, which I can understand as it is a bit of a jigsaw puzzle to get everything to fit! We spent the morning at Kakabeka Falls (Dad and I chuckle every time we say that name...mom doesn't find it quite as funny!). We went for a little hike and got some pretty awesome views of the falls. After a picnic lunch we headed out for today's drive. We moved away from the great lakes region...which feels good because ...

... s classrooms to say goodbye. So hard.

I went back to town and met up with Dan. He had done the Don Juan coffee tour and had really enjoyed it. We had a quick lunch and then were off to San Jose. The night was spent eating Chinese food and repacking our bags.

San Jose-- I realized that I had now been to San Jose 6 times and really hadn't seen any of it. Dan and I made it our goal to remedy that. We had a slow start in the morning (I blogged that last blog) and Annie and ...

... She went into her accomodations and I stayed down in the lobby and posted the blogs from the train the day before.  She came down refreshed and we headed out to find somewhere to eat.  Now Beth has an advantage of me in terms of traveling.  She brought alone a lonely planet travel book of Canada so we looked in it to find a good place for breakfast/lunch.  We both agreed on a place called the Underground Cafe which brags of fresh food in a cafe style ...

... addition. Anyway, after subway, we waited in the hotel lobby for National Express to pick us up and take us to Victoria Station to catch the Gatwick Express train.

Rather than waiting for them, he would back up the bus in the middle of the street, turn around, and go to another intersection which, of ...

He treats me so well, buying me roses and a teddy bear.....he spoils me He is a God-fearing country boy, kind, sweet, helpful, comforting. He is just so amazing!! But that's me right now. Not too much about it, but I love every little thing about it!! Just thought I might bring you up to date on my life. Tatiana

This morning we woke in Manitoba on the "Prairies" at a little town called "Rivers" - similar country to the Darling Downs and the area between Albany and Esperance. Wheat and grain silos dotted the railway line with some cattle. We saw lots of sunflowers and a lot of hay, some cattle. The farms didn't look too prosperous and we saw very little irrigation. Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba was a big city, but the weather was overcast ...

... Muslim Chinese meat on a stick and pulled noodles.   Worst Meal: Some place in Hue we walked out of in Vietnam.  Tasted like playdoh. Best (easiest) to travel:  New Zealand     Worst (most difficult) to travel: China (language barrier) Best Beaches: Australia        Wor st:  Vietnam's beaches weren't as stunning as many others but they weren't bad at all.  We really didn't see a beach we didn't like.  Funniest souvenir we didn't buy:

... a Villa in Mexico. Next was $90.30 in Lima Peru (Hotel booked for me by Harley Mechanic) Second was $76.16 in Cerro Sombrero Chile Third was $69.63 in Comodoro Rivadavia Argentina WHERE YOU EVER IN DANGER, FELT THREATENED, OR WERE FEARFUL? Yes but all our fears were associated with a vehicle accident. Most fearful was being lost in the freeway traffic in and around the large cities. Second ...
