Things have been busy the last few weeks, but I’ve also found some time here and there (like on a plane back from Chicago one late night) to edit some of my photos. And thus I have the chance to share some of the … Read More
When last reporting from Granada, I was getting ready to return to the midst of nowhere in Lake Nicaragua. I’ve definitely had my share of remote places for the moment. We took a van to Managua airport. The actual airport is quite a bit … Read More
Wow, it´s been several days now. I never had time in San Juan del Sur to post a blog and last night in Ometepe the only apparent computer was tied up for hours. I tried twice, once before dinner and was told the second … Read More
Yesterday morning we had an early start to get on a local bus to Liberia. Four hours of fast but largely not so scary driving. I think some others thought it was a bit hair raising, but maybe it was good I zoned out … Read More
That was my time in the UK whizzing past at a bit over the speed of sound. I fly back in the morning. I should rightly be in bed already. I for some reason thought I had a flight back around 1pm but checked … Read More
Not so bright but early start to the morning. Went with Sam and a few others for late dinner last night. Neat place, not so touristy. Had Koshary again. So, got in aroun 11pm which wasn’t so bright for an early start. Had to … Read More
Let’s see, catching up from my last post… That evening, we took a little boat trip as a group across the nile to this little restaurant on the edge of the Western Desert. Great fun, but for me, so so food. The novelty of … Read More
Time is passing quickly here, but it’s passing on Egypt time, which turns out to be very similar to Mexican time. Nothing is quite on time, but no one seems to care so I’m gradually getting used to it again. It does take a … Read More
Thursday I flew up to Boston for a Friday meeting for work. Seeing as the airfare was the same Friday afternoon or Monday morning, I was lucky to be able to take advantage of the opportunity to stay through the weekend on my own … Read More
After yesterday´s long dissertation, I meandered out to find sustenance… and it was Burger King. Sorry to one and all, but it was bound to happen sooner or later. You knew it, I knew it. And after my quatro grande, I moved on to … Read More
Last day in Edinburgh. Tomorrow morning, I fly out at 9am… per Edinburgh Airport, that means I should be there at 6am… ouch… So, today needs to have an early conclusion so I can be done packing and all that fun stuff. I left … Read More
Back in Georgia and playing a little catch-up, here. Saturday night, I finished packing and hit the hay. To no avail, I was dead tired Sunday morning. I had planned to meet Jackie around 9am. Ended up being more like 10am, but I think … Read More
Saturday saw an early start. My intention was to be amongst the Redwoods for Sunrise. This was possible only because I am three hours outside of my time zone in my favor. Still, I didn’t go to bed early, so it wasn’t exactly a … Read More
So, it’s Sunday, and I finally have the energy to relate the journey back to metro ATL. I was good for my word and got an early start. Unfortunately, I had piddled about the night going through the photos from the day and such, … Read More
Wow, it’s quiet tonight; I mean needle-hit-the-floor-and-echoes quiet. I didn’t realize the level of noise here until tonight. You see, the same day I arrived here, a bus load of high school students descended as well. Every room around me was filled with them. … Read More
Exhaustion has definitely set in, but it’s a happy exhaustion. I woke up ahead of my alarm this morning so got an early start. I was in Williamsburg before everything opened, so the beginning of the day was peaceful, before the masses descended. I … Read More
It occurred to me on the flight back today that the trips to Europe tend to be made overnight, i.e. in search of the sunrise, but the flights back are all chasing the sunset, such that it feels like I went through the longest … Read More
Had my first photo class this evening. A definite learning experience – I can already tell that it’s going to be well worth the cost. The time leading up to the actual start of the class was a little intimidating. With only a couple … Read More
Wow, basically two days to catch up on! I never found time yesterday to sit with a computer. I woke up on the late side, but in plenty of time for yesterday’s plans. I wanted to go try the British Museum again – this … Read More
Very long day. Well, I slept late at least, but I haven’t stopped moving since. It was nearly 9am when I got up. That’s not my norm on Sunday mornings, but then I normally have a large AJC waiting on me to read and … Read More
