I've been to Washington and took the same tour as the author. It's a joy to "visulize" that tour again through the eyes of a visitor.

Lake Tahoe Rocks
What can I say? The place is really nice, there are a lot of fun activities and has a wide range of Lake Tahoe accommodation you can choose from and the services they give you is really good.

You rock, Mr. Lock.
Salutations, Mr. Lock! It's Angiee from Day 2, second block, Science 9, front row. I absolutely adore your collection of photos from your travels! My goodness, they're stunningly beautiful! Are you a professional photographer alongside your job as a science teacher? Anyway, I simply LOVE your blog. From helpful information academically, to fabulous photos and a neat travel blog, I'm really intrigued! It's so cool, haha! Thank you for being you. :)

Thank you for your blog
I am thinking of taking my sons (ages 8 & 11) on a train trip and was looking around for blogs about train travel in the US and found yours. Did you feel safe on the train?

Zakopane
Hi Chris, Nice pictures. So, they didn't want you in Zakopane, eh? I had the same experience every time I went there when I was living in Poland back in the 80's. I am glad you liked Krakow. You did survive Poland, that's an accomplishment! See you later. Les

Very enjoyable blog
Chris, I am enjoying your travel blog very much. I learn such a lot by reading your prose, and look forward to you including more historical facts. The trip to Auschwitz and Birkenau must have been extremely hard to do, but I am so glad you went. I will be asking you lots of questions about this when you return. Thank you for all you have written. Keep it up! Jeff and I will be thinking of you as you explore new places and experience Europe.

I can't really argue or comment about films in small towns in Germany. All I can say is that here in Berlin, there are many options to watch movies in English, dubbed or with subtitles, and that is why so many Germans or at the very least, Berliners, are multi-lingual. Your English is good. In my country, very few people can speak more than one language, if their first language is English.

You wrote: "And it was in English with no sub-titles. No wonder the Germans are so good at English. " Well, that ist not true. Normally all films shown in TV and cimemas are dubbed into German. In live in a city of 200.000 (Kassel) and nearly never there arent films show in the origional language in cinema. Everything dubbed into german. Obviously only in some cinemas in very big german cities such as berlin they show foreign films (american films) in their origional (language) version. This ist different in many other european countries. For instance Denmark and the netherlands and even France. Therefore (and because of other reasons) the duch or danish people all (even blue collar workers) speak english very well, while here in Germany only the young and well educated speak english well. (or at all)

Don't let the lions eat you!
Hey Chris, Your adventure sounds fun and I am jealous of you already! Sounds like a breathtaking landscape. It is nice to hear you are being treated well and are enjoying yourself. I realize you haven't seen a lion yet, but when you do don't let it eat you! It is nice to see you finally relaxing after a year of teaching. Stay safe and keep us updated!

Sweet Adelaide
Well Hi Chris, I am glad you enjoyed the City I grew up in. I have travelled over many Countries also but I still think Adelaide is a Beautiful Old City, I have been living in Florida for the past several years and I do miss the Ocean and the Hills. In Florida you go over a speed bump and they rename it a hill. I am going to keep on reading about your Travels as it seems you have been enjoying yourself

I had the $100 dinner
I actually paid for this.. It was worth it, let me tell you. Really romantic. You haven't lived until you have had barbequed Crocodile with Champagne under the stars in the Red Center.

Welcome to Oz!
I'm glad you finally made it to Australia! Sydney is indeed a lovely city, and I quite concur about your Opera House comments. Darling Harbour is nearby, which is roughly like Granville Island, so have a look around there a little. I visited the zoo when I was 18 years old, and all I remember is being far too hot for comfort. Jeff and I are thinking of you, Chris! -- Susan

Use of photo
Would it be possible to use this photo in a book I'm writing for my grandchildren? We lived in Kenya for 14 years, so all the stories in the book are African Tribal stories teaching moral truths. I'd love to use the photo to show what these small creatures look like. Please let me know! thanks!
