Hi everyone! I cannot believe it has been two years since I last began this blog but the time has come to dust off the cobwebs and write again because...I am going back! I have rather been quiet about this trip as I begin to understand and fully appreciate again what it was like last time I went. I felt on top of the world, able to achieve everything and ever so fortunate to be selected to travel to Africa. This time around I chose to go back. I chose to because I love my job, I find passion in it every day, and I chose to because Africa is frequently in my thoughts and makes my heart pang with heart break. I also chose to go back regardless of the terrible, lonesome time I had ... read more

One more time I am trying to pack for a broad range of temperatures and still fit it into one bag . Morocco and Spain will be moving into spring like weather , current temps are in the mid teens , but the mountain areas of Morocco could see snow and freezing temps . Packing is so much fun...NOT I am getting excited . Discovering new territory and cultures are stimulating . I smile just thinking about it . I shall try to post as I go . I bought a tablet so I do not have to rely on internet cafes this time . Who knows I might even be able to post photos this time .... read more

Bonjour à tous, La Saskatchewan est une province de l'ouest du Canada, situé dans la région des prairies, avec au sud les états américain du Montana et du Dakota du nord. Elle est plus grande la France de 100 000 km2, avec 1 080 000 habitants. La plus grande ville est Saskatoon, 272 000 habitants et la capitale Régina 210 000 habitants. L'économie, principalement l'agriculture et le bois. Elle est la deuxième province, après l'Alberta, en production de pétrole et gaz. C'est pour ça qu'ici un plein n'est pas trop chère avec un litre d'essence à 0.90$ cad ou 0.60 cts d'euro. L'hôtel d'hier au soir, plein centre de Saskatoon, construit en 1908, était l'hôtel de sénateur Flanagan, aujourd'hui c'est simplement le Senator. Je vous en parle car pour moi c'est un gros changement, du à ... read more

Bonjour à tous, Pour commencer le repas hier soir, au Pampa (Brazilian steakhouse). Déception n'est pas le mot, mais pas loin. Ce restaurant à un succès fou, j'ai du attendre plus d'une ½ heure pour avoir une table. En entrée le buffet, avec de nombreuses salades (pour moi pâtes, pomme de terre), mais ce qui a disparu, et qui me faisait saliver, c'était la rosette, digne de Lyon, ainsi que le jambon cru qui étaient à volonté. Je pensais combler 2 mois de manque. Ensuite la viande, alors qu'elle était cuite au lèche flame, avec le dessus juste grilloté comme il faut, et bien rouge à l'intérieur, maintenant ce ne sont plus que des brochettes, des saucisses, plus rien a voir. Dommage. Vers 18h, à l'hôtel, s'enregistrait un car de chinois, et intérieurement, je me disais ... read more

July 13 A coffee stop in Ralston near the Suffield Military base started the day with a sugary treat. We than did a little freeway driving till we turned off at Maple Creek and headed south though Cypress Hills and then east to Eastend. After dinner served by the Pine Cree Regional Park volunteers, there were two evening tours which we skipped because Jack and Carol Body from the 2010 Tour showed up for a visit and we soon had a campsite full of people to visit them. It was great to see them but I am looking forward to another visit this winter when we can have them to ourselves for a one on one visit. (Greedy me) July 14 Hay, hay, hay and a bit of canola too. We skipped the pancake breakfast that ... read more

Laundry and house cleaning done, we headed for Watrous and Manitou Beach for some rest and relaxation. The mineral lake here is supposed to possess healing powers. Several people have gone to the spa for a treatment. A few couples went to the drive in last night and some went to dance on the 1928, 5000 sq ft dance floor built on horse hair. There was a group of Bolerama people sharing the campground. We have stopped here for two nights. On Monday we leave for Dauphin Manitoba.... read more

Maple Creek to Brandon Ominous thunder clouds were building and the wind was rising as we relaxed after supper at our Eagle Valley campsite - the first night we would spend in Saskatchewan on our ride home. Raja noticed that there was a large broken limb hung up in a tree right above our tent. A 'widow maker', he said. Maybe a widow and widower maker! He helped us move our tent to a safer location. Lightning started striking and the sky was the colour of a bruise.. Paul, Mariette and Doris decided to move their tents under a concrete roofed picnic shelter while Raja, Michele and I decided to stay put. We hunkered down in our $65 Walmart tent and watched for leaks as the wind and rain buffeted the nylon fly. It was intense ... read more

I enjoy traveling on the bus throughout USA, Canada, Mexico and even El Salvador, Guatemala and Belize. I could see almost everything by bus. I recommend people to take a bus throughout the whole world even the southern tip of Mexico. I really love Mexico a lot just because their Mesotoptamia is so intersting like Middle East History. OAxaca and CHiapas are the best part of Mexico not just Mexico City, Acapulco. Oaxaca has great Maya Ruins to explore not just Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador. You can combine a bus trip to Mexico with Guatemala by flight,etc. You can see a lot of the Mayan Ruins from Mexico to Copan Ruins part. I recommend first take a bus to Mexico and then go to Guatemala by flight from Mexico,etc. It makes a trip more ... read more
