... the black sea. We packed and rolled on down to the Vok'zal &#8211; Train station, catching a bus this time. Luckiily last night's research enabled us to have a few handy words ready, and I managed to decipher train station on the bus's cyrillic sign-post. <br>Sitting in the first class cabin of the train heading towards Simferopol watching I love you man, we summed up the day.

During the ceremonies, the weather turned ugly again - looks like another rainy day. It rained off and on, but not too hard. During the day, 'New York' told me that my tail light was out - I had ...

... through the natural entrance where the bats fly in and out. What an incredible place to see. We then drove towards Dallas TX and make it to Odessa TX to find our 2nd Letterbox at Comanche Park in Odessa. We drove to Midland had dinner and stayed in our first Walmart parking lot.

My Czech is really helping, I've gotten a handle on the cyrillic alphabet in just two days, and once I sound out the word it's often the same as Czech, so between my Czech and ryan's German ...

... book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. In order to &#8220;give a meaning&#8221; to the world, one has to feel involved in what one frames through the viewfinder. This attitude requires concentration, discipline of mind, sensitivity, and a sense of geometry. It is by economy of means ...

We took it easy today and caught our breath around the pool. Tonight we went to a Baseball game (the Midland Rockhounds - assisted by Rocky their mascot - beat the Wichita Wranglers) - it was great to see a game live and to soak up the atmosphere.
