WOW! Wow, the pictures have been so cool but these have to be my favorite so far the Versailles Chapel Ceiling is so beautiful. I actually just learned about that in art class yesterday. As well as the cathedral is also very beautiful its amazing how different the world can be. I love the pictures keep them comin' bye.
love,

the marquis Good for Jack White. He's one of my favorite weirdos.
I helped draft the legislation that made the MdL an honorary U.S. citizen -- a rare title! The NSC nixed the idea for a signing ceremony w/W, because relations with the French were quite icy at the time (Iraq). So I never got to meet the Prez.
Sweden Sounds like you had a great time visiting Elin. Send our best to her and her husband. We miss her too. Can't wait to see pictures.... Guess you really enjoyed The White Stripes (you got to see a little america there, didn't you?) Can't wait to see you and good luck in Switzerland Cory . Sounds like a wonderful place to visit (hee, hee!!) Love ya! Mom
not jet setters they carry suitcases on this kind of journey.glad to hear you got in good music. ed will look forward to add'l dwnloads from you. not me. hows it feel nearing the end any thoughts
complaining travel journals Brian is right, travel has it's ups and downs and travel journals that only report the ups are only telling part of the truth. Now, I don't want or ask for graphic details, but reading about the downs as well as the ups makes for a better experience for the "armchair traveler" (as they say).
Keep it up, good travel blog.
yin/yang and this/that happy happy, joy joy. I have no additional comment except a BIG THANK YOU CORY!! due to the fact that the interesting and timely blog reports are great and sherry's postcard dated 9/2 arrived 10/12. someone must have walked it here. good to know she has you cory and the internet...
Stockholm I know stockholm pretty well at this point.
Go the Absolute Ice bar and have a drink. It's right around the corner from the SAS Royal Viking Hotel. This hotel is just outside the central train station. Also, ride the elevator up to the top of the hotel and have a drink in the sky bar. I have been drunk up there many times enjoying the views to old town.
If you get into old town visit the old map shop. You will know it when you see it.

That's bullshit! You will be happy to know that I have been sharing your chinese experiences with Eager. Everytime she reads one of your 'Cory-isms' on China she replys "That's Bullshit!". I of course laugh and tell her to shut up.
Keep blogging and maybe I'll see you again one day.
ps. Try to go to Chinese strip club. Take pictures!
critical feedback Count me among those who enjoy the complaining--it comforts me in my windowless office with three computers that I have a rich life consisting of Internet surfing and ESPN College GameDay.
Also, I need more details about the less savory parts of the trip e.g. "Sherry paid the price the next day however.."--what exactly does that mean? How many trips to the loo?
I'm just afraid as the trip moves on to western Europe, there will be less crapping and barfing.
But, as always, that's just me....
what thought we were going to hear about the deepest gorge on earth.what?? instead we get blabla about colored trucks, you losing it?... love ya anyway
Terrocatta Warriers Beautiful Pictures, we are so enjoying the trip around the world through your eyes. Cory truly should write a book or something. What is the Terrocatta Warriers in Xian story? Be Safe! Should we send TP? :)
The idea of you two traipsing around in $1.25 bathing suits with screwed up flip flops had me laughing out loud here at work. Thanks for the mid-day comedy break. It sounds like you both are making the absolute most of your experiences. I can't wait to see the list of funny English translations...
china sorry for your discomfort lately, does the finger not work there? did you get thru typhoon damrey ok? no memory of this? also there are 45 wal-marts in china look it up www.wal-martchina.com. hope you have better days and can send pics soon. take care be safe
Stairs I believe the Chinese did, in fact, invent stairs. This was back during the Ming Dynasty. Or was it Tang? Yes, definitely Tang. Of course, this was all before the "Chinese with Disabilities Act" was passed.
Tout What the hell do you mean tout and don't scare me like that.. Just kidding. I know you are taking good care of my daughter. I am glad Jonathan is helping out with your vocabulary in Chinese.. PLEASE BE CAREFUL and Love you both.
Cute Cory, your friends are as humorous as you are. Love them... Hope your taking good care of yourselves. Proud Sherry hung on during your bout with vomiting on the Great Wall. Surprised she didn't barf herself (LOL). Miss you and can't wait for the next great experience. Love ya!
disappointing story After I read the 'tease' in the opening paragraph, I was all set for a good diarrhea tale. And all I got was projectile vomiting at the Great Wall???
Be sure to check out my spatially-enabled blog (or geoblog if that's to you're liking). For this I'm using Google Earth. Read all about it here:
We're taking the long road to Denver. I'm relocating from Southern California with my girlfriend Sherry. When I say the long way, I mean really long. We're driving across the USA, then down the East Coast to Atlanta. After that, we're off on an around-the-world trip, to Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, SE Asia...
We'll be traveling for about three months.
We can't wait! I hope you enjoy our stories and photos...!
-Cory
