According to mythology, when Lord Krishnas wife Rukmini requested her husband for the idol of Balkrishna, the child form of the Lord, Shri Krishna entrusted Vishwakarma with the task of designing the idol. Vishwakarma made a beautiful idol of Balkrishna with the holy saligrama stone and gave it to Rukmini for worship.
The idol, in the course of being worshipped by hundreds of devotees at Dwaraka Read on...
I had a nice drive up the Rio Pueblo Canyon in the Carson N Forest SE of Taos, New Mexico. I passed the Comalas pay Campground. In the 1980s I had a wonderful dispersed camp (on a very rough dirt trail) there by the Rio Pueblo, before the pay Campground was made. Now this is a great camp location, with few other campers, and a low National Forest camping fee. There are other nice forest service ca Read on...
Onto Giles weather station, a short drive from Warakurna. We were to be disappointed. Sunday, closed to visitors. Appointment by internet had to be made. We hadnt.
The road was ‘pretty good even though corrugated in a few sections. Some sections were as smooth as a babys backside. We stopped to help 3 young Aboriginal men (all in their 20s) who had ‘numerous problems with their vehicle. They Read on...
Alongside the creek at JuliaCreekthere is a spacious but dusty free camp, just a short walk into the town. Like all the free/freedom camps we have stayed in this holiday it was very busy. We first checked in for four nights but because of increasing temperatures (into the low 30s) we have decided to move on after 2 nights to Richmond where we can have access to water and power and therefore air co Read on...
I wasnt really planning on being here. A number of decades previously, I had set off on the adventure, otherwise known as a University education and a group of us had decided to meet up in Manctopia to reminisce about our youth for a couple of days. Alas, COVID 19 got in the way of the plan (and just about everything else). The North West is pretty much in local lockdown, so it seemed pointless to Read on...
Finally the world seems to be opening up again and I have been able to confirm travel plans to Egypt & Madagascar, however the planned stopover of two weeks in Ethiopia en route to Madagascar has been cancelled as the decided it was still too great a risk to take people there because of the civil unrest and fighting in Tigray.
Ethiopians in that area are really suffering and having a struggle to Read on...
An einem einsamen Straenstck sa Frau Hund und hoffte auf ein Wunder. Ich hielt, um ihr die berreste des gestrigen Abendessens zu geben. Aber da kam Herr Hund daher und fortan spielte sie keine nennenswerte Rolle mehr im folgenden Geschehen. Herr Hund betrachtete mich etwas skeptisch, er war recht gro und ich war daher auch etwas skeptisch. Ich griff dann langsam zur Tte, die wie beim Fahrrad am Le Read on...
One Thursday morning we had our final tailoring class that will be with me. On Monday they have a trainer from the area starting with the ladies. She will be with them 3 days a week for 6 months so I expect they will be very good seamstresses by the time the course is done.
I had my first experience with paying off a police officer this morning. We back from Entebbe to the office and we admittedl Read on...
Sunday: I think everyone knows that Vermont and particularly southern Vermont is known for ski resorts. There are 2 slopes within 25 minutes of my place and I think close to a dozen within an hour drive. But what do those resorts do in the summer? Well they try to make some money and keep some year round staff by having summer activities on the mountain. The chair lifts that go to the top of the m Read on...
