Sitzt gerade im Zug von San Diego nach Los Angeles. Die Sonne geht gerade unter und taucht die an mir vorbeiziehende Pazifik Kste in einen goldenen Schein. Vereinzelt sind noch Leute am Strand zu sehen die alle Hnde voll zu tun haben ihre Kinder von den verschiedenen Sandburgen zusammen zu treiben um sie endlich nachhause zu bringen. Die Surfer versuchen noch einige letzte Wellen zu erwischen

Grand Canyon Is this the way to Amarillo
The day after Russ' birthday we reluctantly checked out of our comfortable hotel and took a cab out to Las Vegas Airport. There we were dropped off at the Rental Car Centre and picked up our car which we were going to drive all the way to Dallas Fort Worth Airport. Following the directions of the Budget staff we promptly got lost and drove around a little before finding our way onto the highway

We made them through security with both bags without a hit
Tanzania
TanzaniaSo I have made my way down to Tanzania from Kenya on a little bus The road to get here was bumpy and merciless. When we reached the border we had to get out of the bus and walk a 100 meters to the border patrol. Along the 100 meters were hundreds of scammers swarming all of us and trying to sell us fake goods. Be aware fellow travelers Although Tanzania and Kenya have a very similar cu
