... days later - but that's another bit of hedonism you'll have to wait to hear about as there's a hot tub that needs me and we are off to Laytonville (Hippy Central and Pot growing capital of the State) tomorrow for Earth Dance Festival. Ahh! Hedonism in California - don't do it kids - just say no! So, that is all for this, my first foray, into the World of Blog. Hope you enjoyed it! Any comments and suggestions on what you do or don't want to read, see or hear let us know! Simon & Claire

... building to the video of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream Speech," in Washington in 1963. Jerry and I were both moved to tears at that point; it seemed the culmination so many years of oppression, so much suffering. The museum is attached to the Lorraine Motel, where MLK was shot, and at the end of the tour, visitors stand and look into the room where he slept the night before and the balcony where he was ...

... able to call it an NGO state. So far I'm not sure what to conclude. My readings thus far have revealed much more gloom and doom about the corruption and lack of accountability plaguing both the NGOs and the government. With over 2 billion US dollars reaching Bangladesh annually in foreign aid, with around 18% going to NGOs, where does it actually go? More than anything though, knowledge of the ineffectiveness and misappropriations of aid money from other NGOs and the ...

... in the "cottage" where she works. Her boss, Elb, and his wife Adrienne generously offered to have us stay overnight. Adrienne is a family doctor in a practice just south of Berkeley, and it was interesting to see that family/ general practice faces similar issues as we do in NZ. In Berkeley we attended a very up-market craft fair, and could ...

The flight was so sore. Losing so much valuable sleepage over the last couple of days meant thirteen hours of head-banging trauma. The only saving grace was the route taken by our thoughtful pilot and the view it afforded us. From Germany we headed out north-west over Iceland, right over Greenland and across the hours and hours of ice riddled ocean that spans the arctic circle over towards the northern corner of Canada. There ...

... and are then flying to Las Vegas for 3 nights for a bit of table action..As I'm budgeting the free drinks will come in handy, but no doubt the roulette table and texas holdem will see a small bit of action! While there I'm gonna try to get to the Arizona side of the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley in Utah. Then it's off to Guatemala and Spanish school....... Well that's about it for now folks, so take care y adios amigos, Martin :)

... stroke of luck, we picked the one street running down to the main town bit which doesn't have half a dozen steep hills in it - Columbus Avenue. Despite this, it was a bit of tough going for me being the lazy gad-about I am. However, it was a bit of a surprise when it wasn't me, but Jo who went head first down one of the minor hills that we passed! As we were going downhill at the time, she rolled onwards for a bit and twisted her ankle. We staggered into the nearest ...

... Liz the more she amazes me with her sense of taste, and she was even impressing the waiters recognizing some of the ingredients in each dish and especially some leaf that came with the dessert which was from a rose plant, I mean can anyone else out there distinguish what a rose tastes of or have I just got a **** sense of taste. Following our glorious meal we caught the next tram back to near our hotel and had a few beers. Our hotel was in downtown San ...
