Comment on Sun Temple
I got tired of eating the usual every day, so I ordered a heaping plate of extraordinary with a side of "no you di'int". I'm that odd American you find in remote places among the Ozzys, Kiwis, Israelis and Europeans, taking a year to the travel. I was stalled at home for the summer, but I'm back on the road now. Half of the fun of traveling is telling people about it, so by reading my travel journal, you are helping me enjoy my trip, vicariously through you, who are encouraged to enjoy my trip vicariously through me... Or something. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the blog!
