Journey finished

Well, this is it! I arrived last night, after a blowout night in Toronto, somehow managed to survive the last night of rumba with Lex and Zee, we went out to some vaguely hip-turning-yuppie establishment, me with my puto tshirt (why don't people appreciate the punkness of the idea?) and freezing cause I locked myself out of my hostel room (by moving, by tired mistake, into a room with a broken door, finally noticing it, and then fixing the door --- too well!), so no coat, no money (found that later), and most importantly, no energy left after carneval for partying.

In the next few days, in dribs and drabs, I'll be posting up all the photos of the trip, by the date, so it will be necessary to scroll down to see all the photos - I don't expect to write much, since it's all a pre-jet lag blur to me right now.

Happy sailing, travelers!

p.s. I've added a compleat route map from Google, which tells me I've clocked about 44,000 as-the-crow-flies miles (this figure will increase dramatically when all of the land distances are added up, I think it will be well over 50 or 60 thousand). According to relativity, I've become a fraction of a second younger for my efforts, though I certainly look a few years older from the hard slog.

Photos

Toronto icon
sort of an icon....also because it's skinny, its hard to pilot a plane into it....nice design

Frickin' Cold
with windchill bringing the air to minus 30 (Celsius), I've gone from plus 30 (Caracas) to minus 30 (Toronto) in less than 24 hours!

Toronto Girls
I've heard that Toronto Girls can be ice queens....maybe they get their ideas from this shop window (at minus 30)

air toilet
just looking at the toilet seat reminds you of all kinds of evil scenarios.....though when I got on my flight from Toronto, there was a can of deodorant that had fallen into the bowl.
