London- Part 2
MUSEUMS One can’t write of museums in London without mentioning the incredible policy of free admittance. If one subscribes to the philosophy, as we do, that human capital is the greatest resource a country can have, and that the education of those humans is in the best interest of everyone in that country, then it makesContinue reading “London- Part 2”

“The only true voyage of discovery, the only fountain of eternal Youth, would be not to visit strange lands, but to possess other eyes, to behold the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to behold the hundred universes that each of them beholds, that each of them is…”.

Germany
(Kiel Canal, Rendsburg, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Volksfest, Berlin, Cuxhaven) We have been at this for a while, Alec, Jack and Me. A rough count is 30 countries, and lots of islands, cities and towns along the way.

Finally. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. I’veContinue reading ““The Coldest Winter I Ever Felt Was A Summer in Scotland””

End of Winter Wrap Up – Kas, Türkiye 2023
Kas – end of winter wrap up. I can hardly believe that this is our final day in Kas, Türkiye. We have called this lovely village “home” for nearly 6 months.

India – The Prelude…
India – the prelude… I once heard that the more money you spend on a trip to a foreign country, the more distance you put between yourself and the culture you are trying to enjoy. I always believed this to be true and certainly, it makes sense. Riding in a bus or train like aContinue reading “India – The Prelude…”
