New York City to Regina – Aguardiente in Canadiana

New York City to Regina: Aguardiente in Canadiana

New York City to Regina – Aguardiente in Canadiana. August 19. A little over an hour of sleep is not enough.  I require more.  I got out of bed, grabbed my backpack, said goodbye to Julia and her cat and headed for the airport.  I would have liked to have spent a lot more time in that bed.  Julia is pretty, has an amazing body, is a great person to spend time with and has a laugh that will recharge...

New York City: New York Blues

New York City: New York Blues

New York City: New York Blues. August 18.   I found a little mischief this morning and then made my goodbyes to Irmante and Anne.  Good girls.  Good girls to spend time with.  I packed my bag at their house and went to leave their house.  They have a chubby housemate who Irmante refers to as ‘Sperm-whale’ who a couple of weeks ago went into their bedroom and stole valium tablets and then later stole $40.  I was very cold...

New York City: Manhattan Free Walking Tour

New York City: Manhattan Free Walking Tour

New York City: Manhattan Free Walking Tour. August 17. A Manhattan free walking tour is much less interesting than you might think.  It is a lot of talk about millionaires and billionaires and how much money they have and the buildings they made, and how they left $20 million to their dog when they died.  And there I was yesterday, spending an extra hour on the internet to save $26 on my plane ticket by using all of the internet...

New York City – German Nearly Official US Language

New York City – German Nearly Official US Language

German Nearly Official US Language. August 16. Imagine…  It was close.  German Nearly Official US Language.  Imagine how different the world would be today had that been the case.  Think of the wars… I was told recently that the United States of America had a vote when the country was being formed as to which language they would speak in the country; English or German.  There were nearly as many German immigrants as English at that time.  A language vote...

New York City – Jeff Koon Three Meter Porn

New York City – Jeff Koon Three Meter Porn

New York City – Jeff Koon Three Meter Porn. August 14. Irmante was very sick today.  She did not feel like moving.  But we got her going.  Her hangovers are nothing to be desired. She took me to the Whitney Museum of American Art to the Jeff Koon exhibition.  I have never seen anything quite like it before.  There was a lot of sex involved in it including three meter tall canvas photos of Jeff Koon having sex with his porn...

Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona: Bicycling

Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona: Bicycling

Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona: Bicycling. August 4. Life was a dandy of a beach all day.  That meant beer, sand and swimming.  Things can get worse, but I hope they never do. We met a couple from Portugal today.  They are Pedro and Sarah and they have been bicycling  south for 15 months.  They started in Boston in May of last year.  That must feel pretty good to tell people.  They have 9 months left until they need to make it...
