... world in reversal, one where the world spits in your face, and all you've known since you can remember is poverty and not having every opportunity to take if you want. It really rips your heart out. We followed to the nuclear section and they had on display some artifacts such as porcelin bowls etc that melted like butter from the atomic bombing in Hiroshima. Also was a human sized stone statue that stood facing rearward to the blast. The anterior portion was in full original ...

... Holmes in Starbucks. A couple of days before New Year's Eve, Chris, Caroline and Laura took a helicopter flight over New York City (a Christmas gift from John and Joyce). Departing from the lower west side, on the edge of the Hudson River, we had a spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline as we hovered over the Statue of Liberty and cut across Central Park. New Year's Eve in New York City was ...

Living the high life for a few more days! In preparation for the marathon final-writing session I am about to embark on, I think I will write a little about the pre-trip-trip I am taking in NYC. Because I have marvelous people to visit in the city and because I had some weird connecting to do before meeting Calvin, I decided to spend a couple days in the city freezing my ass off before I head to Ghana to chill on ...

... perché non voglio brutte sorprese). Visto un film con Tina Fey e Amy Pohel, famose in USA come conduttrici del Saturday Night Life. Arrivo all'aeroporto puntuali alle 13,40. Procedure di ingresso ormai ampiamente descritte in altri racconti (mi preme solo ricordare a coloro che partono dal 12 gennaio 2009 ci sono da espletare delle procedure on line al sito https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/) Qui il primo sfizio: fuori ...

Went up to the rooftop garden to check out the huge acid-green metallic balloon-animal dog sculpture and some awesome views of the city and Central Park. After the Met, walked down to the end of Central Park to the Plaza hotel, where we thought we could use the bathroom in superior luxury, but ...

... them! "Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen." - Benjamin Disraeli ha ha.... love that quote! After walking around, enjoying the sites we met up with some friends Yvette knew who lived here. One of the guys was a cop and scored us free tickets to jump the que and get up to the top of the watch tower at the Empire State Building from which we had one of the best 360 degree views of the entire city! It was such ...

... an over abundance of spectacle, every minute another breath-taking moment. But it wasn't! Like I said, it was great! Had I not raised the bar so high in my mind, I would have wanted to go back for more. It just seemed like they cheesed out in a few areas. If you've seen the Lion King, you know what Disney is capable of (even if Julie Taymor isn't involved). The stampede, the parade of ...

... were in the waiting room...and no one hustles Natalie Darves! I told them that that was simply crazy, but in a nice way, and I sat in the air-conditioned theater hallway with my head in my hands and tried to figure out the best thing to do. There was no way that Morgan and I could afford a repair like that, so we contemplated for even a moment about having to get rid of our beloved blue monster. I decided as one last attempt, to call back Volks guru man, Norman, to ...
