Chicago
We have had a pretty interesting time here. And as I sit here on the train back to Detroit, pondering what to say, the memories of the days gone by flit through my mind. Not coming here with more than a...
Body and Soul
Train to Toronto
So this has been an interesting start to our journey ... unexpectedly we were five hours late leaving Saskatoon on VIA Rail. What didn't seem to be too big a deal sort of grew in porportion as time went...
Glory Bowl
I was introduced to this recipe by Kathryn, my friend and also former supervisor in Whitehorse. We love this and eat it often. This means my recipe is stained and often lost in the shuffle of my life. So...
By foot, tramway, metro, & bus to Edirne
Bright and early, well early for us on holiday, we walk to the tramway, catch the next one, get off and walk another block to pick up the metro (slightly different version of the tramway) and ride that...

Days 2, 3, & 4
Wow, I can't believe how the time is evaporating, but I've been living very much in the moment, so life is very good. I said to Lawrie on our walk home this evening that I keep forgetting we are half...
February 14, 2011 – L2’s Baha’i Pilgrimage started today
Well, we arrived yesterday evening all in good order. The flights were all good, though we had some troubling moments. The first was in Saskatoon at 5 am when our seats didn’t seem to be booked and...
