We arrived in Newcastle at dusk and proceeded into the city center to scout a good camping spot. As we stood on a busy street corner trying to decide which way would lead us to a safe night’s sleep, Dave, a fellow traveler stopped to give us some advice. Maybe it was our exhausted blank Read More »
We arrived at Climate Camp after dark with the bicycology group after a well paced 10 mile ride from the Common Place in Leeds. I’d never ridden in such a large group of bikers, there was an amazing energy pushing us all toward our destination. It was a good change from our mode of travel, Read More »
Occasionally we have absolutely brilliant timing, and our visit to Windsor Castle could not have been timed better. On Saturday 18 November we arrived just in time to see the changing of the guard in the area outside St. George’s Chapel.

Getting There and Settled Wednesday was a travel day.

We started with a cramped tuk-tuk, and transitioned to the 6-hour mildly-air-conditioned bus ride to Chiang Mai. Like the bad Read More »
36 hours after leaving Rio we finally made it to Cusco in the heart of Peru. To be fair the canceled flight was a blessing in disguise as our airline put us up overnight in a plush hotel. The bellboy didn’t quite know what to do with our oversized rucksacks. Understandably, after so long traveling Read More »
Rishikesh. The “Yoga Capitol of the World”. The city of ashrams & the holy Ganges River. A place where sadhus (the bearded, dreadlocked holy, & some not so holy men come to gather, chant, &…ask for money/food). The place the Beatles visited in the 60′s to study with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of Trancendental Read More »
Ah, yes….Fall is here. Today’s high is only 87F and it’s almost November. Ok, so it’s not like home, but it is actually cooling down a bit. No changing colors in this area of the country.
