magical dragon fruit Wow! I'm so enjoying reading all about your trip! The fruit Richard drew in your most recent update is sold in Montreal's Chinatown - they call it dragon fruit (the picture is so vivid - dragon-like, even - that I had to pass this on in case you don't already know) Best of luck in your ongoing pilgrimage, and look forward to being in touch again soon...

Hi to Malaika too!! take care from pete, emma, jake and mark. PS: given up smoking for 4 months nearly and jake and myself have taken up ki aikido. early days but both enjoying it. Regards.
Sounds so familiar Yes, your experiences with the sales pitches reminded me how prevelant they were in Vietnam when we traveled there soon after their market economy opened 10years ago. We start out being gracious and polite, like our mamas taught us. But after awhile, one more sales pitch and you want to scream. I was sitting on the beach in Nha Trang when I saw a T-shirt vendor approaching me. Before he could start, I said "I don't want a t-shirt and I will not buy one." He was startled and said "Why" and I said because "I don't want one, I'm happy". He was quiet a little bit, then said, "You happy, I make no money". I hated to have the transaction go that way, but sometimes it just is what it is.
wowza very very good you guys do better to let your hearts lead yous to the right and good incounters, excellent danceing excellent photos very very good to be able to see your adventure! busy with secret gaarden and awen and sunshine and tree houses and o.u. and love you both lots write it down its beautiful x x x x x x x x jenza
wow.. I can only say wow... glad you're safe and moving towards the eco-dance city. Wish i could see the wonder of wonders where Richard Nixon so famously uttered, "It is almost as pretty as a postcard."
Also hope Malaika has Don Mickelwait's address, as i believe he is in Bejing... Charlie Sweet may know...

Meeting People Sounds like the travels are wonderful, but nothing is so heavenly as
"happening upon" beautiful people who willingly open the door when
life experiences come knocking. So it was that the station master was rude in
order that these amazing relationships could blossom. Wish I could be a little
stone in Rich's pocket to participate in your next adventure. --Mama G
thanks for the pics... great pictures... and the walk and tea make me remember the Tuscan sun in the summer of our bike trip, and good to hear that the trees you are planting will be there to be climbed by others someday. Raining strongly here in Liberia, and the wet season tides are taking some sand from our beach, which we hope the dry season tides will return. I'm trying to think of some creative way to convince the water to deposit sand instead of take it away. All suggestions apprecaited.

Heeeey! Malaikaaaa!!! and Rich!

What Fun! Malaika - I love the world you live in.! Thank you for finding it and sharing it with us. For putting it into words. All the devas and nature spirits are applauding loudly! With glee. I can feel the happiness.
I eagerly await further installments, and blessings as you set out on foot. Hello to Richard whom I haven't met.

TWIG means Together We Integrate Growth. Travelling overland sustainably from Devon, England to Guangdong, China by foot, hitching and rail, the TWIG project aims to take every opportunity to contribute to the greening of human sensisbilities toward nature. By planting trees, dancing with trees and climbing trees along our route we will create a map of public performances that mark our journey across Eurasia. Daily performances, interactions with people, and trees commemorated, danced with and planted, will be logged here. Once in Guangdong, follow our community-based art project in the Na... full info
