Well since my soujourn back to the land of Oz to mark my emergence from my twenties into my thirties i have embarked on a series of activites filled of course with endless fun and frivolity So there was a matter of finishing my soccer season here in Charleston which ended in LC Utd savouring the spoils of victory with a scrappy but satisfying 10 victory in the Grand Final. Although some suppor

We went to visit the famous Banff Springs Hotel. We were greeted at the door with a man dressed in a kilt who promptly informed us that we could only visit the bottom 2 floors since we were not staying there. He was nice but we noticed a ldquorichrdquo atmosphere here. The stores where we were allowed go were all top scale and price. On that note Dan found a zoom lens for my camera that w

Leaving Byron Bay was quite hard but as I thought I have had much fun since then.I went straight from Byron Bay to Brisbane and after spending a week on the beach I wasn't quite ready for the city I walked down to Southbank which immediately changed my outlook of Brisbane. Its a really nice park area on the side of the river. They have a pretty lagoon there which you can swim in and a beachet

CORAL BAY TO TOM PRICEWednesday 26th May Pam and I drove around to the boat launching ramp and pier to the south of Coral Bay and walked around the coast on the rock pools and sand flats where we saw many small clams and sea slugs exposed by the low tide. After a relaxing afternoon we again de camped ready for the trip tomorrow.Thursday 27th May nothing much to see along the way except for

My first weekend in Paris was amazing. On Saturday morning I took Cate to the area around the Centre Pompidou where I had been shopping the day before after class. We went back in the sex store I found and I bought a funny gift for my brother. We went into an amazing jewelry store and she bought several things for herself and as gifts. It was a very cute little shop. Hardly any stores have air con

Daniel and I traveled through Cambodia for three weeks and during this whole time I was continuously being surprised by this country. Coming in I thought it'd be similar to Laos one of the poorer coutnries. But actually Cmabodia is more similar to Thailand than I would have imagined. In the cities there's giant buildings some of wich are quite fancy. It's not unusual to see fancy SUV's cru

I was looking at these neat wood boxes and I thought the old Thai lady was yelling at me for picking it up. It was in a place that sold baskets for monks spirit house supplies and that kind of thing. I thought perhaps I did something wrong that I was ignorant of. The lady disappeared for a few minutes. I was actually going to bolt but I stayed to try to apologize. She came back with more of the b

I left LPB on Saturday morning bound for the remotish town of Luang Nam Tha. This is a popular first night stop for those travellers who have crossed the border from China. I found a gorgeous guest house to stay in clean free drinking water and internet all for about 4 per night. Luang Nam Tha is well known for its spectacular natural environment and there are loads of trekking opps. I found a

Monday June 7 2010 We slept in this morning which made it feel like vacation had truly begun. It is just SO QUIET on this mountaintop I have to say that I think we're closer to the airplanes than we are to any cars except of course the few belonging to other campers staying in the campground right now. Today we hiked the Raccoon trail located within Golden Gate Canyon State Park. This

TOM PRICE TO BROOMEWednesday 2nd June we had 420km to go today so we left early. Some of the scenery of the Mungaroo Range were just as good as the Hamersley Range on the way up. After lunch we got held up for about half an hour with a very large 9 mtrs high and 15 mtrs wide mining rig section being delivered by road to one of the mines. There were 4 trucks in total in the convoy.We

Today was less eventful then the others. I got my oil changed at Firestone in downtown Milwaukee while Jerome was at his audition. I ate lunch and then went to Veteran's Park downtown. Jerome did not do as well as he had anticipated on his audition so we went ahead and left for our next part of the journey. We headed back south and stopped at the Mars Cheese Castle by the side of the highway

It was good to be back in San Francisco after my last visit 15 years ago. It seems I can't remember much about that time except I had a good feeling about the city and always wanted to return. The Haight and Ashbury district however is not so individual anymore and everywhere seems a bit more corporate. Whilst staying in Monterey I had met Judith from Switzerland who I had recognised from the host

Den tredje ugeNormer skik og brug i Kina er noget anderledes end i Danmark. Regler ser ikke ud til at bekymre kinesere ret meget. Vi har en teori om de forbudsskilte der bde er p kinesisk og et sprog som vi kan forst at p den kinesiske del str skrevet rdquoSymbolet herunder glder kun for de som ikke kan kinesiskrdquo. I flyet fra Lijiang til Chengdu begyndte kineserne at rejse sig og

Hi AllWell we have been so tired so please excuse the lateness of the blogs. We went to Palmyra NY. We began at Hill Cumorah we climbed up to the top not knowing that you could drive up to see it. The best part was walking down hill through the forest very beautiful. We then went to the Sacred Grove and the Smith Farm it was a very quiet and peaceful place to be. We drove into down town Palm

Hello everyoneSo we thought we should revive the ol' blog for our next adventure. Kwesi and I are off to Ecuador on July 5thIt seems a bit surreal still that we are going to get on a plane soon. The bags aren't packed. I don't even have any pants to wear... My plan to wear shorts well not going to happen... Time is going to creep up on us and then 6 weeks of bliss No work. No cell pho

Hola amigosToday I met with a local Bolivian student named Vanessa to take a tour of La Paz from a local's point of view. It was such a great experience. Vanessa got me oriented to the area and also instructed me on how to get around using public transportation large buses and mini buses which take 5 times longer but are 5 times less expensive then taxis. She brought me to the calvary calle

Sorry foks just noticed that my camera went off the deep end and started using dates in 2008 So I've turned that function off. Didn't want you to think I was in a time machine.
