Arrived on Kodiak Island via ferry on Saturday, May 5. Had camped at Homer and were ready to embark at 8 in the morning. Homer is a small town with a MacDonalds and a Wal-mart. The truck stopped at the beach. Warm bathrooms with flush toilets and hot water were available. Only thing ....you had to know well in advance of a bathroom performance of either kind because it took a trek to get there and there was no cover on the beach to do a "thing". Of course during the night I just had to do the thing beside the truck tire! Along the beach were small shops jst like the Popeye movie. None were open because the season had not yet started. Met a halibut fisher. He had just gutted and filleted a ... read more

After a hectic first few weeks here I have not really done anything this week other than take in the scenery, wonder along the sunny sections of street to work and back and watch movies in the evenings. When I am not swimming in the pool or thinking about making my way down to the gym. This has not just transformed from thinking about it into actually going down to use it. During my wonderings I have found a great arts centre, that I can see from the balcony where I can do a selection of, learning how to blow my own glass, In a day, to throwing and firing my own pots followed by decorating the said pot and onto designing jewelry after one weekend you are supposed to come out with a ring, ... read more

New York, d.8. maj 2007. Waauu, waauu og atter waauu, at vågne op i New York, "the City that never sleeps", det er bare noget, der virkelig rykker!! Vi ankom til Newark Airport sent i går aftes, ca.23.30. Som en overraskelse for drengene og for ligesom at ankomme med stil havde vi hjemmefra booket en Stretch-limousine til at hente os, og der stod da også en mand med et skilt med vores navn på, klar til at hente os og føre os ud til en lang, hvid "Limo". Drengenes underkæber var ved at ramme fortorvskanten...den var sej . Ind og sidde i de bløde sæder, med bar og stjernehimmel i loftet og mange knapper at trykke på. Efter 45 min. var vi lige midt på Manhattan, ud for vores hotel Pennsylvania på 7th. Avenue lige ... read more
