... might be quoting Lao Tzu here, "In your life, you should always seek the truth and you ask for the truth." And although the truth may be painful, frustrating, heart-wrenching, and embarrassing, you feel ultimately happy. For you know it is the truth and you would rather know the true than be living in a dream world. So for the record, I - we - live on the moon. We went to what was real. The bodies that are on the Ganges in Varanasi were alive this morning.

... in off the big surf and settling in trees and valleys Sunday is grey and a smir of raain. Nothing daunted we're off to explore the vineyards of the Alexander Valley ,Sonoma County - and there are many!! First to Healdsburg - the central town of the region - lots of Spanish architecture and built round a shady central square of pin oaks and redwoods. 23 vineyards are represented around the town - all with tasting ...

... had met 3 girls from Guernsey and they all seemed very nice. I got chatting to them and it turned out that we were almost on identical tours from USA, Fiji, NZ & OZ so I told them what I knew about NZ and places to go and thought nothing of it. That evening the hostel bar was showing UFC and as I had never watched it before I thought it would be something to kill some time...After the bar closed myself and a polish guy decided we would try and round up a few ...

... baptism of the first 4 Americans in California. I kept staring at it and counting and it seemed to only have 3 names. I was bemused but Tom, as usual, more determined to figure things out. He found the docent and forced the poor woman to come talk to us about it. There were 4 names-I just didn't read closely enough (there is a picture of this marker in the pictures file, of course) but she was really nice and very interesting. We chatted about the mission and the reconstruction of it ...

... every seat had a personal TV. The kids were awesome, no crying or complaining. Couldn't have asked for a better 10hr plane ride. Only thing that wasn't so great is that after struggling to get the kids to sleep, Janice and I couldn't fall asleep ourselves. So, we will be doing day one in Dublin on zero sleep. Knowing me and my grouchiness when I'm low on sleep, it could make for an interesting experience. The plan now is to ...

... water. Lights and air run of the electricity hookup. There was also a microware and stovetop burners. That night, Jamie slept up top over the driver's seats, Sarah slept on the pullout couch, and Julie and I slept on the queen bed in the back. At 5:00 am I woke up freezing! I rolled around in bed trying to keep warm but decided to see what could be done. In ...

DAY 20 San Francisco At approximately 5am we sailed through the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco and calm waters. There were delays in disembarking due to immigration control, so we waited on our balcony and surveyed the panoramic view of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz in the background. We have been given a few tips on where to go in San Francisco, so when we disembarked, we turned left towards the Ferry Building. Nearly all the other passengers turned right ...

... traditional cafe called "The Steps<br> Of Rome" with the best coffee in the world and people watched. We<br> forgot to tip again the tight-***** we are. We saw the vintage<br> streetcars and cable cars on our way to Fisherman's Wharf. The cars are<br> National landmarks and a vital link in San Francisco's transportation<br> system which i might add is the best i have ever witnessed. <br> <br><br> <br> <br> There was a very impressive air show on where the planes ...

... het merk verkochten. Zij zijn voor mij gaan bellen met andere winkels in het dorp en er was er eentje bij die hem misschien wel had. En in een van de gote winkelcentra in SF verkochten ze ook Gund; daar zouden ze zelfs iets voor mij wegleggen!<br>Ondertussen wisten zij mij ook te vertellen dat Hondje eigenlijk helemaal geen hondje is. Het is een nijlpaard, oftewel een hippo, die Sprinkles heet van het merk Gund. In de andere winkel hadden ze erg veel knuffeldieren van ...
