Well, we were up at 4:45 yesterday in order to leave at 5:30, and this blogger was just too pooped to pop last night!
We headed northwest along the coast towards a national park: Manuel Antonio, for an early morning guided bird tour. We have decided that having a guide is truly the only way to go: Oscar is in his low 30s and his father was a guide – he knows the birds by their calls/songs, AND Read on...
Today seemed like a great day to revive my old blog. Not a special day by any means, but a good day for reflection and to edit a lot of my former posts (HOLY DRAMA, BATMAN. Those entries had to change). Four days ago, something that I never thought that I could: I hiked 30 miles in ONE day. Well 30.2 plus maybe another quarter mile to check out a viewpoint. But Ill get to that.

I am so thankful to have survived 2020 and to have spent the whole year in Peru. This has been an incredibly tragic year for so many, but for me it has just been an incredible year. I am so privileged to have spent the year in a place where I could make the pandemic a little easier for thousands of families in the thirteen villages I visited throughout 2020.
I took last week off from blogging and Read on...
Every morning, for two months, I would wake up, log on to Facebook and diligently post a short of a favourite movie, by a picture of the original movie poster.

I was warned. Can earlier? I was asked. It will be a busy time. I was reminded. It will be no problem. I was placated.
I was scheduled to arrive in Pakistana few days before the start of Ramadan, the holiest time of the year for Muslims, and then the majority of my travels would coincide with an religious observation for nearly the entire country.
I briefly weighed the options and knew that as t Read on...
I first watched ‘Bangkok Hilton around 1992, when I was living in Dar es Salam, Tanzania; I borrowed it as a video from my local video shop and remember enjoying it enormously. It was made in 1989 as a for Australian TV and won awards for best actress (Nicole Kidman) and for being the most popular TV However, its low status as a work of cinematic art is apparent from IMDb, where it hardly gets Read on...
We see our apartment in the daylight for the first time. Its very big. It didnt seem so big last night when we were wandering around in the pitch black backstreets trying to find it. Its on the top floor, and its got a massive terrace right above the seafront with excellent views out over Marsaskala Bay.
Were a bit tired after a long day of travelling, but we eventually manage to rouse ourselves Read on...
Wheres the snow? Our family in the North can respond to that....they have it! Our daughter, Kim got stuck in it with 40 of snow in Binghamton, NY. This is our first Christmas in Florida and away from our family. Sniffle, Sniff! We are going to miss them so many times over than missing any snow. Because of my physical therapy, it was not in the cards for us to return home. Christmas Day will be s Read on...
Saturday July 2 – I wasnt sure what to do with the weather today. It was windy and forecasted to rain, but eventually it still wasnt raining, so I decided to do a walk to the northern village part of the island which is not far. This time I wanted to walk around more in the area where people live. I only brought my waterproof camera just in case I got caught in a storm. I was also on a mission t Read on...
