I'm looking forward to another great year, and I love sharing my stories with you!<br><br>Peace,<br><br>Mark<br>

I had made many a trips to Big Bear during the snowboarding season being that it is really the only place you can do a day trip from Vegas. However a few times we got the luxury of having a place to crash for the night. Only Teresa and I would somehow manage to be able to make a crash pad out of Oscar de la Hoyas Big Bear cabin and training compound. The two of us and usually 15 or so of the worlds best fighters under one roof..... we consider ourselves very lucky ladies :)

Thank you to all of my dear friends and family for making my farewell party a memorable time. I am truly honored by the quality of friends that are part of my life.<br><br>So the past 2 weeks I have been packing my suitcase(s) for two different types of cities; Bangkok is more sophisticated while Chiang Mai has a more bohemian culture. It has truly been my desire to live the life of Indiana Jane while in Thailand. But, in packing I ...

... A painful decision had to be made. Why God had chosen this week to challenge me with such seemingly insurmountable obstacles will be forever unknown. All I could do was to trust Him with all my heart and soul that He would bring peace, comfort and strength to my family.<br><br>I arrive back in California trusting that my daughter will continue with her healing process as time is her friend. For this trip, the word ...

... in Santiago. He invited us to come have a drink with him at his friend's club, who was also Brazilian. We tried to tell him we were meeting our friends in the plaza in a few minutes, so we couldn't leave, but he was not having it, and tried to put his arms around us and lead us to this club. Of course, we hadn't payed at his bar, so we kind of felt guilty slipping away from him, but we definitely did NOT want to end up alone at a club with this dude. We get to his ...

... ai marche presqu'une heure dans la noirceur, mais ca allait bien. J'ai presqu'exclusivement marche dans les forets jusqu'en milieu d'apres-midi. Je trouve cela tres paisible. C'est niaiseux car a deux pas de chez nous, il y a le parc de lac Leamy, le parc de la Gatineau, le parc du lac Beauchamp, etc... et moi, je ne vais jamais me promener. Je ne suis pas un gars de bois, disais-je... Je vais certainement commencer a aller ...

... before); it is put in some soups; and it provides contact for some to the outer world. As we walked through small villages, the small bread truck would drive up and honk. Out came the housemaker to receive the bread ordered. On one occasion I saw the younger bread deliveryman hug an older lady after he listened to her tale. Bread serves a very important function in Spanish society. Ciao, Dick and Sue

... late, and now just with kids, but their parents generation too, although some places definitely skewed older or younger. I was enjoying the Santiago lifestyle (freaks included) so much, I stayed an extra day (once I realized the only train to Bilbao left before 9:00 a.m. for a 10 hour journey, I decided to go by overnight bus straight to San Sebastian), so that is my extra-day endorsement, but fly there. As noted, San Sebastian, Spain is next.

... so that when you go ashore, it doesn't take forever, and there are only a few people to disturb the animals an birds. We also decided to go Tourist Superior class, which is more upmarket than we'd normally go, because we were assured of a Naturalist 3 guide, the highest category. A lower graded Naturalist may not know as much, and may speak little English. This turned out to be quite important, as the difference between both the animals and landscape of each ...
