The First Weekend in Beijing May 1819 2012
Friday May 18th I had the day off from work because my entire group was in Chengdu for some sort of celebration. It worked out well because I wasn39t feeling great that day so I spent much of my time lounging around. I did take a little field trip to a park just north of our hotel which was really p[...]

Border crossing to Guayaquil
The CIFA bus was much more rickety than any other bus we had been on but was well equipped with a good driver conductor and security guy no bathroom. We cruised along through endless fields of banana plantations. They went as far as the eye could see. Occassionally we would come across a town where [...]

Firenze of fun
The train from Venice to Florence or Firenze if you want to be Italian about it was lovely though I had to sit crosslegged because my Pygmy legs couldn39t reach the floor. Florence is a bit of a rude awakening of cars Vespas and crowds after the relative peace of Venice. While we waited for our room[...]
