Learning and Ideas for Tibet… a wonderful organisation helping keep the fire of Tibet LIT
Life in Mcleod is getting better by the day. Would I be having these experiences without LIT and Lhamo Tso though I think not. So here I will write a little more about her and LIT what they stand for and the amazing work they are doing. I now spend my mornings sat at the bus station with Lhamo Tso while she sells her bread. I know I say everything is the highlight of my day but she is too I sp

More Kenyan Tales
I am sitting in my friend Johanna's apartment located near downtown Munich. Thanks to the noisy city traffic I am the first one up and so I finally have a minute to update my blog finishing the stories of our Kenyan adventure. The day following the last medical clinic we began our morning going out to a small village where a church in Garissa does a sports ministry and plays soccer with som
Temples Trekking Mauy Thai
Okay an early start in Bangkok allowed us to get the train 2 hours north to a city called Ayuthaya which is full of old temples and stuff. At first it was quite impressive and I really like the Cambodian style temples but you had to pay an entry fee to get into the grounds. And I wasn't doing that when I have a perfectly good zoom feature on my camera. Like I said the temples were impressive but
ROS ROBERT
Left Tiaro Petrie Park camping area about 9.15 and headed towards Calliope Historical Village. Arrived about 1.30 and set up camp on the topside overlooking the river. We are permitted to stay here for 2 days although some people stay longer. I don't think that they worry too much. We have no toilet facilities except for some portaloos. They say that someone came during the night and put
day in berlin
me and the guero went on a tour today of Berlin and it turned out to be such a great experience. So amazing how the people of this city have overcome so many obstacles. I never realized how much this city has suffered during the last 100 years. I also have learned and been inspired by how the unification of a community can make change happen in a very drastic way. Futhermore I have learned r

Cest Magnifique
Bonjour Nos AmisInteresting trip back o France since the Italian Workers decided to go on general strike at precisely the time we thought we were flying outbound from Florence. Consequently we wound up napping by a busy traffic circle by the terminal under a shade tree until the gates reopened only to discover that our destination of Toulouse France on Air France was only reachable this day
Sin City and the Preacher’s Kid…
I truly do not know where to start This has been a most marvelous day. We started out in New Mexico and have ended up in Las Vegas Nevada can you believe it Oh the sites I saw today The words in our mere human vocabulary are to few and inadequate to describe them accurately but I will try. The mountains and colors in New Mexico were beyond beautiful. The landscape unbelievable one mi
Hana
Yesterday with Cathleenrsquos parents we drove the road to Hana. It ended up a twelvehour day of driving hiking and eating a little something to please everyone. The drive starts out of Parsquoia a cute little town on the north coast. At first the vegetation is exactly what comes to your mind when you think of Hawairsquoi lush green grass colorful tropical plants coconut palms

Today we went out from the Fitzroy river again but this time with Shane. Shane works for the Fitzroy River Basin Association and is in charge of allocating funds to different community projects such as the one we are doing. Consequently most of our grant funds come from the FBA and Shane and he and his coworkers will be coming out on the boat with us every now and again. The drive to the ri

Sleeping in until 730 feels like such a luxury Except for the part that we live across the street from a few car shops and I woke up to a grinder bright and early in the morning. Go figure. I guess I canrsquot escape the damn grinder anywhere In case any one is confused the grinder is Alexrsquos favorite tool and he would use it to cut his fingernails if he could. I wouldnrsquo
