Nous avons dû partir assez tôt de Pensacola car le temps commençait vraiment à se gâter en Floride. Sous les trombes d'eaux au beau milieu de l'Alabama, ma chère voiture qui ne m'avait pas fait défaut pendant tout un semestre, allume un petit voyant et s'arrête tout simplement de fonctionner, et sonne, comme ça! Je me gare à la va-vite sur le bas côté mais c'est définitif, la voiture ne redémarrera pas! Quand il pleut beaucoup, que tu es sur le bas-côté d'une autoroute, dans une voiture qui ne veut plus rien faire, dans un pays que tu ne connais pas, [View Full Entry]

So yesterday… Really the two bit things were lunch and the show. We went to a place called The Bistro in town- on recommendations from the locals. I can see why! They served a lot of authentic English food, and even had the Union Jack newspaper (I learned that “Union Jack” is also the name of the British flag). Sarah said her sandwich was “heaven in her mouth” and my salad was pretty fantastic, too. We got sweet potato fries as well, which made Sarah do the “excited for food” dance she does- she’s been looking for them for weeks! Across [View Full Entry]

Today was long, and now I’m tired. We got up early and drove to Alabama to do load in and a show. Nice little town with a theater that could more than handle us. This is Small Town, America. Show was good. Lunch was fantastic. That’s all I got. [View Full Entry]

Chapter 4. Road Trip - Mobile, ALABAMA We crept out of our room in the later morning worried that we would not be able to show our faces after Noah’s temper tantrum last night! We met the lady in the room next door and she said it didn’t bother them too much so we were good. We left most of our luggage with Jessie and Frank at the Greenhouse loaded up the car and headed off to Mobile, Alabama for Robert‘s game against the University of Mobile. As we drove out of New Orleans along the Gulf Coast highway (to avoid [View Full Entry]

February 1 Sunday Up none too early, had some coffee at Shoney's. I took Bear alone for a test ride, as this was the first chance I had to try him out fully loaded. He still rode very stable, so I went back to Motel 6, picked up Deb and away down Interstate 65 we went on the way to Key West. I had hopes of making Montgomery AL, but we settled for Birmingham as it approached sundown. We had taken Wayne Garrison's advice and picked up a hotel/motel discount coupon magazine at the TN/AL border. Deb found a deal at [View Full Entry]

Thats right! Only 9 more days until we leave for India. I am so excited that I cant sleep now. And I still have SOOOO much to get done before we leave. I don't know how much Todd has to do but I am sure it is substantial as well. I have been postponing things for the past 2 months thinking that I will get it all done. Well now I only have a week left and now I don't think I will get it all done. This is what happens when you procrastinate (Dad- wink wink). I will at least [View Full Entry]

Hey Everyone, I have finally decided to go to Varanasi/Sarnath/Boyd Gaya directly from Katmandu, Nepal. I will be there from the 16th - the 20th of February. This will give me a good 4 days to spend with Thrangu Rinpoche personally. I don't know why it has taken me so long to decide this. I was tossed up between going there or going straight to Dharamsala from Nepal. But i figured, I will be in Dharamsala for 2 1/2 months. Thats a long time. And I know if I would have done that, then I would have never made it back [View Full Entry]

Hi Y'all (yep Ive picked it up) Installment from Alabama below. Being on course and in Athens Georgia, the weekends have given me a chance to get away. I was caught speeding on the way to Athens which I talked my way out of 75 miles in a 55 mile zone to which I pleaded Aussie... the State Trooper who told me "We Dont Speed in Georgia Maám" gave me a warning so I have been more mindful of my speeding (somewhat).On 9 Jan I headed to Montgomery and Birmingham Alabama in order to begin my Civil rights trail journey of [View Full Entry]
