... alot to do with the fact that we couldn't speak spanish, but there were other places where we couldn't speak the language and people were still friendly. Go there for the Sangria, Gaudi, and the nightlife. Those three are pretty fantastic.

Recommend: Sangria, Razzmatazz, Paraiso Hostel, and anything and everything Gaudi.

Madrid: The football is pretty amazing, not going to lie. If we didn't go to a game, there wouldn't be much to write here ...

... away God because man does not want to be held accountable for his actions.

After the trip to the museum I took Olivia to the dress shop in town, to see if she might like anything. Wasn't a thing there in her style, so we left empty-handed.

"Maybe the West Edmonton Mall will have something." I thought as we drove away from Drumheller heading north towards Edmonton.

We spotted a fox at the side of the road coming out of Three Hills. The rest of the wildlife ...

... a canoe trip along the North Saskatchewan River which runs through the centre of Edmonton.  I hiked up the other side all the way to the Royal Alberta Museum.  But before I got there I did stop off at Carol's Sweets.  It is a really unique store run by Carol which features candy of every kind from all over the world.  The candy is even stored in the old glass containers candy shops had a long time ago.  I was determined to see inside ...

The safari travels through Namibia into Botswana, Zambia then finishing ...

... of my favorite hot teas. I even installed a fireplace in my living room which along with keeping me toasty, acts as a strong visual of coziness. So although I am prepared for the foreboding chill that I know is on its way, I feel a sense of tranquility in this moment. One last warm hug from summer before the winter cover quiets the streets. This pause between the transformation between life and death is powerful. And this time I feel it.

... am 2 Tag auf der Strasse aufgelesen und mit sich nach Hause genommen. Viel Bier, Whisky und sehr guter Braten mit Gemuese und so. Oh gosh, Tracy kann wirklich kochen. Ja und da waren dann noch drei Hunde und vier Katzen, welche auch im kleinen Haus wohnten. Wo denn sonst. Einer davon ein Wolfshund, 80% Wolf hat mir James versichert. Ok, warum auch nicht. Ich habe den Jagdbogen, mit dem er im Herbst Hirsche schiessen geht, natuerlich ausprobiert ...

... in my paradigm which seemed to make for more magical moments. And the negative ones were much more manageable without a clock ticking them by. Who said that minutes could creep back into my consciousness or that hours would shape my reality? For a while there, I was so close to living on dream time...so close. Grateful for the full moon.

I spent time reading many forum posts of gripes and praise for every service provider. Unfortunately there are just as many people who love and hate them all so in the end, I chose by price. And the fact that there is only one provider (Fido) that bills by the second, not ...

Hi Everyone, This trip that is now just barely over the horizon has seemed like it would never happen for quite a while. Honestly, I don't even think that it has really hit me yet that we're going - I'm thinking that it probably won't until our plane turns down the runway tomorrow! However, today I'm starting to get the nervous/excited butterflies, so at least I guess ...
