Le soleil est de la partie et le ciel, dun bleu figurer sur une carte postale.On arrive au stationnement pour prendre le vers Read on...
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...

I decided to spend my last full day in UAE visiting Abu Dhabi. It is about a 1.5 hour drive from Dubai. The roads were great and the traffic was pretty light. Abu Dhabi is the political capital and makes up 87% of the land area of UAE. Their population is 2.2 million. No surprise that oil is over 50% of their GDP followed by construction.
Our first stop was the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.The mosqu Read on...
We were eating breakfast at the very earliest hour of 6:30 am yesterday, but sure werent the only ones. Folks get up early here because the sun does too! We were picked up by van to go to the cloud forest walk.
And what did we learn? That a cloud forest is different from a rainforest – because its where the weather from the Atlantic and Pacific crash into each other. The cloud forest is filled Read on...
Today is going to be a beautiful sunny day! Tom and I are later than usual starting off because we are not going too far – Palo Alto to be exact. Our mission today is to find an outfit for me to wear to my daughters wedding in five weeks time. For several weeks I have been searching for something suitable but without luck. Yesterday I spent several fruitless hours at the mall, but everything was Read on...
Short km day planned for 3 main reasons7km of beach walking - not a huge deal but sometimes the sand is sinky and the gradient steep which makes it more laborious, andTorbay Inlet possibly impassable and requiring an approximately 18 km detour walk aroundI really want to have lunch at the coffee shop at Cosy Corner which is a short diversion from the track (didnt make it last time as it was at the Read on...
We buy fresh milk for our chocolatadas because its more nutritious and also because there is no waste in packaging. Each of these milk cans holds 30 liters.
Yesterday was amazing, but I am so exhausted by all of the travel. The farther out the villages are, the more they need help, so Im bracing myself for a December full of twisty mountain roads that make me carsick. Its certainly worth a little Read on...
