Sleep Inn - Rockville

It was time to say goodbye to North Carolina and to Ross and Steve. It's about now that I need to say please don't ask me which part of the US is my favourite, because the last week and a half has already made me realise I'm not coming out of this with an absolute favourite. I love San Francisco, and NC and even Ohio, all for different reasons, and I really am having a great time each place I go. I am a lucky girl indeed. And so my travels have continued and right ...

... at the galleries...now Jazz is a truly American music form. On the third floor near the musical instrument displays, there was a quartet playing Appalachian folk music. Interestingly, there was a gallery which rivaled the Star Spangled Banner in the length of wait in the queue to enter. It was the "Thanks for the Memories" gallery. This gallery was dedicated to entertainment and sports history. The most popular items were Dorthy's Ruby ...

... does not seem to enjoy much confidence from voters. I must end this post with an optimistic note. The people I talk to do not speak in terms of regret, but view the situation as a temporary setback. The determination to get on top of things is incredible. These are the fundamental character traits of this country. I'm sure Jeff would agree with me when I say Americans are full of hope and depressions don't get them down.

... mannelijkheid van Mathijs aan; viriel en daadkrachtig als hij is greep hij terstond een zaag en minder dan een uur later was het geheel gereduceerd tot een stapel brandhout. Hoewel we het grootste deel van de storm gemist hadden was er die avond nog meer onrustig weer op komst. Over haar woorden struikelend en met overslaande stem van opwinding somde het weermeisje de tornado's in de omgeving op, en prees hun ernst aan met enthousiasme alsof ze ...

... Uplander II at 8:30. After circling in Manhattan for about half an hour we finally found our way out of the city towards District of Columbia . We drove through the state of New Jersey and Delaware and we entered Washington around 14:00. After circling for about half an hour around downtown, we managed to park next to the U.S. Capitol building. We took some footage there and walked down the Mall towards Washington's Monument and the White House. We took some ...

... names written in Korean made. So cute and quite perfect. A few people had to go home, but most of us moved to Junco21 after a bit. Melissa and I ran by Yes! to pick up Jaeyong though. I couldn't have my last night in Ulsan without my husband! I finally called it a night around 3:30a. I had planned on trying to visit Jinu at the Gonguptop Yes, but nobody was willing to go with me and it was so late. I left everybody in Mugeo and headed home, alone. That was fine, except I ...

... and had a really good evening with them despite the heat and the sudden onslaught of mosquitos. We discovered, much to Dave´s delight, that not only were we the only room with air-con but the only ones to have a t.v. (never switched on) and a fridge (used loads). When we left there was a bidding war going on between some English girls and an older (yes, even older than us) American couple. My money´s on the Yanks! Andrea and Kate, the English girls have done a ...

... asked. "I am very disappointed that this incident has occurred," he frowned, looking down at his hands. The disappointment on his face was grave. "I cannot believe that this has happened despite all of the education and retraining BAS has done. If we are to sustain this village and our way of life then it is important that we do not fish in the parks. The tension ...

... packpack weights about 40 some odd pounds added to the five pounds for my day bag. I dunno how everything managed to weight so much, but I guess I'll have to make due. Everything I packed in there, I figure I need at one point or another. Who knew my camera setup would weight about 4 pounds by itself? All this is small numbers, but I think I'll come to kick myself in the ass when I gotta hike the inca trail with it. Should I bring ...
