... XD Ademas de estar con ellos, estuvimos con gente nueva. Con dos de ellos nos intercambiamos los correos y probablemente quedemos durante nuestra estancia. Uno era un matrimonio mayor amigo de Karen que nos queria invitar a su casa para que conociesemos a su familia. La otra era una chica algo mayor que nosotros que le gusta la musica independiente (tiene discos de Sidonie, Astrud y Love of Lesbian que se compro en Barcelona) y con la que probablemente ...

... sight-seeing before going there. So we drove in the complete opposite direction and went to Muir Woods just north of San Francisco. Muir woods is a lovely forest filled with REALLY big trees called Redwoods. (Otherwise known as Sequoias.) The ones at Muir Woods are of the coastal variety, which are the tall and slim ones. The Sequoias in Yosemite National Park, where we are intending to stop too, are the thicker ones. So if you think these are big... (Of ...

So, we finally got our act together and left this morning at the crack of dawn. The plan is to do a couple of hundred miles today, and spend the night in an old mining town called Randsburg, about a hundred miles west or so of Death Valley national park. We're kind of excited, as this is our first real road trip, and I'm finally able to share ...

... ziemlich beeindruckend, wie das da drin aus sah. Und die ganze Geschichte von der Insel... Zum Glueck war die Fuehrung in deutsch! Nachdem wir um kurz nach 18 Uhr wieder an Land waren hamm wir uns entschieden mit dem Cable Car zurueck zu fahren. Hamm 45 Minuten in eisigem Wind angestanden, es war schon relativ dunkel. Sind dann gefahren bis zur Lombard Street. Dort nen kleinen Foto- und Videostop eingelegt und ...

... plate came, it was this giant piece of raw salmon fillet in a bagel with cucumbers. All around this bagel plate were pieces of wilting lettuce. After all that convincing I had to deal with this girl being upset with the salmon plate. Later, as she left I whispered in her ear, if you complain enough in a letter, Chez Panisse will give you a free dinner. Wasn't this a nightmare !? ok. Cheers to all I miss you guys all. Peace out.

... the interview that most people are not talking with him at the level we were. Most of his talks and interviews were about the "facts" of peak oil and it's ramifications. One look at his bookshelf told me this man is much more than a facts guy. I had already had that sense intuitively from seeing him in the documentary The End of Suburbia. He is a professor of human ecology at New College of California. It fits. He has such a depth of perspective about humans and the planet, our ...

... As we walked up the steep roadway I could imagine little Alexandra a few years ago in the same spot. I paid fifty cents for a self-guide book, much to Jono's horror, and proceeded to read out descriptions of the various places of interest. Our ticket included the hire of a tape recorder and we spent half an hour being audially guided around the attractions in the main prison block. To the observer it would have looked rather strange. A hundred people apparently programmed to imitate ...
