Can I Roller-Skate? – At Sea – [04/23/2013]

Speechless – Georgetown, Ascension Islands – [04/17/2013]
“Sometimes there are no words. No clever quote to sum up what has happened that day. Sometimes the day just…ends” ~ Criminal Minds I do not understand the world. I have seen much of it, experienced perhaps more of it … Continue reading
The Tale of the 600 Steps – Jamestown, St Helena – [04/16/2013]
It breaks your heart going up, and your neck going down. This is what they say about St. Helena’s “Jacob’s Ladder”, an aged stone stairway hewed into the rock of the amphitheater that surrounds the colourful little chocolate-box town of … Continue reading
On The Home Stretch – Jamestown, St Helena, Ascension Islands – [04/15/2013]
The race is long, and in the end it is better to race within oneself and finish behind the others than to race too hard and crash ~ The Art of Racing in the Rain This last month it’s been … Continue reading
