<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have wanted to expand my blogging for quite some time and have finally found a vehicle that should give me the opportunity to be a little more creative. Still trying to do things "on the cheap". I will be posting my travels and other photographic projects along with other occasional commentary, and hopefully will enjoy feedback from those who care to comment on my musings.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lens creep! The bane of most if not all zoom lens. After going the "asparagus" rubber band route, I read about 'LENSBAND'. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Navigating the LENSBAND web site - <a href="http://lensband.com/">http://lensband.com/</a> - is a snap, and after ordering, (and within days) receiving a Black LENSBAND for my Tamron 18-270mm telephoto lens, I slipped in on the lens as illustrated, and - WOW - instant cure. The band isn't soft and pliable like a regular elastic band, but the firmer tension and close to 1/2" width make it the ideal solution, and since I ordered the black band - on my black lens, it is just about invisible. </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As I mentioned in my last post, I visited the Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens Butterfly exhibit with a group from our Photo Club. A fun day beginning with the butterfly exhibit which allowed us to enter the enclosure before the official opening time so that we could move around without bumping into the daily hordes of visitors. </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After a short while, we wondered around the gardens looking for that 'special' image. Tiring of the beautiful flowers, I was lucky to find a Gila woodpecker feeding on the flowers of the cactus.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">March is gone and here we are finishing the first week of April. Where does the time go?</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This week I travelled (with a group from my Photo club) to the Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens Butterfly exhibit, but haven't had time to look at the results as yet. Another club project was to try and be a little creative using water, oil, colored backdrops and light. The experiment was very interesting and the results, although not to everyone's tastes, does expand on what can be done with a little imagination.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Have a safe weekend and enjoy my following offerings.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Spring in Arizona - unbridled beauty - a plethora of color.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I travelled with a group of fellow photographers to Peridot Mesa on the Apache reservation near Globe Arizona, where we found a carpet of Mexican poppies, and the opportunity to crank up our creative juices to capture our vision of the scenery. While there, atop the 3000 foot mesa, I received a phone call from my son who was flying to Duluth, MN on his way home after visiting here with our grandchildren, stating that the plane had to make an alternative landing site as a blizzard was preventing a landing there. Being assured that all was well, the contrast between our locales increased my appreciation of where I was standing.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was on a photo shoot on Monday near Globe, AZ, to capture the wild flowers on the Apache reservation, but haven't had the time to process them as yet. </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In the meantime I got distracted by the blooming of an Argentine Giant cactus in our backyard, so I decided to practice my time-lapse photography skills (practice, practice, practice). The result is not perfect, but I think I might be getting closer to an acceptable skill level.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> A photography web site that I post to, has just notified me that </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have received an award for one of my favorite pictures .</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On my last trip to China,</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I was walking on a narrow side street in a river town near Shanghai when I looked into a courtyard and saw many people entranced, listening intently to an elderly man. Unfortunately, not speaking the language, and having no one close by who could translate, I have to leave it up to my imagination the reason for the gathering. Regardless, it has remained one of my favorite images. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Costa Rica - February, 2013</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Following a short (5 hour) non-stop flight from Phoenix to San Jose, we began our Caravan Tours journey with an evening briefing and dinner at the Hotel Real Intercontinental. The following morning, up bright and early, we spend the day exploring the cloud covered Poas volcano and hiking in the cloud forest - all to no avail as the the crater remained invisible (the picture in the slide show is from a previous trip made in 1999 - obviously a better day for visibility). We also toured the Cafe Britt coffee plantation (where I was a co-star in the coffee tasting presentation), bringing back memories of our first visit to Costa Rica those many years ago. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We then travelled to La Pavona on Costa Rica's northern Caribbean coast, where we boarded a boat on the Rio Suerte river to cruise to Tortuguero National Park, accessible only by plane or water, our home for the next 2 days where we cruised the scenic rivers and canals, looking for crocodiles, caimans, many varieties of birds and monkeys. This jungle paradise is truly one of natures' most beautiful offerings.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; text-align: start;">As we said farewell to Tortuguero National Park, our heaven in the Costa Rican jungle, cruising back to the mainland, and our motor coach, we head for our next stop in the San Carlos valley - Fortuna, stopping along the way to visit an organic pineapple plantation and taste the fruit - always a favorite, but being this fresh, we are now spoiled for life. Fortuna is in the shadow of an active, but now sleeping volcano - Arenal. Unfortunately while we are there, it is continually shrouded in rain clouds. While in this area, we cruise the Rio Frio to see many birds and monkeys, and before turning and returning to the dock, briefly enter Nicaraguan waters for a photo op.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Costa Rica in many ways, still a diamond in the rough, has made amazing strides economically and politically in contrast to the other countries of Central America. Perhaps with such small population, many obstacles cannot be overcome, but with the gift of fertile soil, plentiful rainfall, and the ability and willingness to learn from others, Costa Ricans are moving forward with education and healthcare. </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I thought I would like to reflect on this last year - 2012- of the many areas of our world which good health and planning has enabled us to explore. By clicking the YouTube link</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://youtu.be/Y8jCcUvATC8"><span style="font-size: large;">http://youtu.be/Y8jCcUvATC8</span></a><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">the images in this post are a miscellany from the thousands of pictures I have taken. I have found that the world, although seemingly smaller in this modern era, is in fact many parts of a mosaic that provide us with great insight as to the fragility of our only home and by exploring, I am moved to preserve it for our children, grand-children and future generations.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Our travel plans for 2013 are already filling in our calendar, and I look forward to what these destinations will yield.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">To those who enjoy my postings and seeing what I see through my camera lens, and to those who encourage me to continue, I thank you and wish you a future of health, happiness and safe travels.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">With the heat of a warm southern sun, we dropped anchor in the lee of El Arco, a haven for sea lions, and tendered in to Cabo. The streets, lined with locals hawking their deals for tours and trinkets, and bars offering specials on cervesa, tequila and food, proved to be less than appealing to us, and after an hour of walking in the heat of the day, we returned to the ship to enjoy its amenities. After lifting anchor in late afternoon, we look forward to the tranquility of more sea days before our next port.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Cruising is an ideal way to break the normalcy of daily life. After a couple of sea days comprised of sleeping, eating, reading, exercising in the gym, and other shipboard activities, we arrived in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua where we board a tour bus for a 2 hour ride to visit Granada and Lake Nicaragua where our small boat cruised Las Isletas, 365 small islands created when a volcano erupted long ago. In Granada, we toured an ornate cathedral, viewed a collection of pre-Columbian artifacts and enjoyed lunch in a local restaurant. Departing in early evening we then headed to our next port - Puntarenas, Costa Rica.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Finally we have reached Panama and as dawn breaks we jockey for position to enter the Miraflores Lock, the first of 3 locks that will take us to the Atlantic Ocean. Now close to celebrating its' 100th anniversary of the opening, we are treated to one of the engineering marvels of the last century. Although a bit jaded since we have locked though many waterways during our boating years, the enormity of the Panama Canal and the number of ships awaiting passage is staggering. We also got a glimpse of the new larger locks being constructed for the megaships which until now, exceed the maximum dimensions allowable.</span><br />

Once ashore, we toured the old walled city, slowly being restored to its former beauty. The variety of color continues from street to street, each different but similar so that it is easy to become disoriented. Reaching the barriers of the old city walls, you soon realize that by following the wall will take you back to your point of origin. Many stores feature emeralds mined in the country. Since ridding itself of the vicious drug cartels, the country is concentrating on promoting tourism.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Aruba, our last port to visit before two days at sea to disembark in Fort Lauderdalea, Florida. Again, we experience hot, humid weather, which makes us so uncomfortable and stimulates our yearning to return home to Arizona (it's not the heat - it's the humidity). Once off the ship we walk the main street of the port of Oranjestad, lined with quaint facades of Dutch colonial design. Unfortunately, in our opinion, it is ruined by the repetition of stores offering jewelry, watches, clothing and cheap trinkets, but obviously we are in the minority as we see many shipmates carrying bags back to the Island Princess.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">While not really a "trip", I did travel to Moab, Utah with 5 fellow photographers on November 5th for a 5 day photo shoot. Enduring an approximate 9 hour drive, the experience was well worth it.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Arriving just prior to sundown on the Monday, we headed into Arches National Monument to photograph star trails. For the uneducated, at our latitude, Earth travels at approximately 600 miles per hour, so we set up our cameras well away from city lights, pointing them at the heavens and take 30 second exposures for roughly an hour, providing approximately 100 images. Then through the miracle of computer programs we end up with results such as these. While the images are being recorded, I lay on my back on the hard rocky surface, looking up at the sky and thinking that there is nothing more beautiful in this world and I am at one with myself. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Before dawn each day, we leave the comfort of our hotel bed to hike in darkness to an overlook to watch the sun rise; the beginning of another day. And then after catching the first blaze of the sun, we head to other locales to watch how the sun plays on the rocks and trees and try to create our own Monet, Turner or Sisley.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">On Thursday, with bad weather starting to close in, on a suggestion of another photographer, we drove north along the Colorado River to Cisco, a ghost town. While the subject was disappointing, and few pictures were taken, we then renamed ourselves "The Cisco Kids", and kids we were as we so bonded and at times, due to exhaustion, laughed hysterically. </span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The weather forecast was for a 'brilliant' day, and the weatherman was 100% correct, allowing us to explore the grounds around Windsor Castle, and they proved to be spectacular. First as we walked among the many deer thought out the forest, we headed for "The Long Walk", a road in front of the castle of just under 3 miles. The views were breathtaking and it was hard to leave, but there was more to see as we then headed for The Royal Landscape and Virginia Water. Here we walked along the shore of the lake taking in one view after another. It is amazing that within sight of Heathrow airport and London, these lands are open to the public to enjoy in all seasons. </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sunshine - not to be wasted in England, so we took a short drive to Wisley, where next to Pyrford Lock sits a delightful Pub - The Anchor where I enjoyed an excellent locally produced ale and lunch. While there a couple of canal (houseboat) boats passed through the Pyrford Lock, and I even had the thrill (for me as I remembered the many years of locking as our boat "Pooh Bear" navigated the Rideau, Trent, Erie, Champlain and other canals in Canada and the U.S.). Maybe one day I will also get to experience the cruising of European waterways and pub crawling from one lock to the next.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Today, our daughter Lisa, as host and guide, drove us through a a downpour to Winchester, where miraculously, the rain abated, and although cool and overcast, provided us with acceptable climate to enjoy a walk through this wonderful English town, a former Capitol of England.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">On our walk, we were treated to views of an ancient moat, the ruins of Wolvesey Castle, the home of Jane Austin, and Winchester Cathedral (remember the popular song in the '60's). We lunched at the Union Jack, A Jamie Oliver restaurant (Google for menu) which was excellent, and then to get my 'Pub of the Day' we were directed to the Black Boy (again, Google it), with decor from earlier times.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Family trip to Canada and England.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My confession - 5 days visiting family in Collingwood and Omemee, Ontario, and not once did I snap a picture with my camera, not even with my IPhone. Now follow that up with another 6 days in England and you can see I have some serious catching up to do.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Okay - rewind!! After flying from Phoenix to Toronto and then driving to visit our oldest son and family in Collingwood, ON, we spent a relaxing time basically bonding and making up for the year long absence since our last visit. From there, we travelled to the small community of Omemee, (no kidding - Google it) near Peterborough, ON to visit Judy's 96 year old father, before flying from Toronto to London to visit our daughter and family where during the first few days of our visit, our granddaughter will celebrate her Bat-Mitzvah, and Rosh Hashanah, our New Year is observed.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sept. 18th -</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Finally we head to London proper to act like tourists. Taking the train into Waterloo Station (the Brits really know how to put together a transportation system that is efficient and the cost to the traveller is reasonable), and then the 'Tube' to Trafalgar Square where our hotel is located.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We take a walking tour to watch the Changing of the Guards, tour the Royal Mews, where the limousines and horses and carriages of the Queen are displayed. Exhausted, we return to our hotel to relax for the evening. (Looking out of our window in the Hotel Trafalgar, I see a Canadian flag fluttering in the breeze, and below on the facade of the building - "CANADA" - on Canada House. With no offense to my newly attained American citizenship or my many American friends, I do feel a distinct stirring of national pride. I guess you can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy). </span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sept. 19th -</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Once more into the breach. Jump on the Hop-On Hop-Off bus to get to Tower of London, where we to meet a guide to take a Jewish walking tour within the walls of Olde London. Interesting facts were discussed going back to Norman times and up to the early 1900's. We visited the oldest Synagogue in England, Bevis Marks Spanish and Portuguese, built in 1701, authentically furnished with the original benches, candlelit chandeliers, and decor. We were given an informative talk by one of the Synagogue elders, relating its' history and some of its famous members, such as Moses Montefiore, and Isaac Disraeli, father of Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister to Queen Victoria.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Following this informative but exhausting walk, we made our way back to the Tower of London and boarded a boat on the Thames which took us to Greenwich, of 'Mean Time' fame, within sight of London, but far removed from the bustle of the city. Returning by boat late in the afternoon, we again passed the Tower of London and continued on to Westminster and the famous "Eye", a giant Ferris wheel built to be short lived for the turn of the century, but proving so popular, it remains a 'must see & do' while in London. In the 30 minute rotation, fabulous views of London can be seen.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sept. 20 -</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We bought tickets to see a matinee of Billy Elliot, and then took another sightseeing ride on the Hop-On Hop-Off bus to once more get a tourists' glimpse of London, had another Pub lunch and then off to the theatre to see Billy Elliot - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The Victoria Palace Theatre is old and very quaint with great sight lines, but oh so uncomfortable seats. The staging, story line and music were fantastic beyond words - an absolute highlight of our days in London.</span></div><div style="min-height: 17px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">London is a special city to visit; the old mixed with the new; the history and the recovery from the devastation from the bombings of WWII. Leicester Square (remember - WWI-"It's a Long Way to Tipperary") - Covent Garden(My Fair Lady). So much to see and so little time - an excuse for another trip soon.</span><br />

<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our embarkation on this Sunday provided us with a beautiful, warm, sunny day. As we and 2000 others boarded the Oosterdam, we were greeted at every turn by a smiling member of the crew.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After our luggage was delivered to our cabin and the mandatory safety drill was completed, we relaxed as we cruised though Puget Sound and the Juan de Fuca Strait, and looked forward to our first dinner at sea.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Monday - a day at sea. As we cruised Northwest with Vancouver Island off our starboard in the distance, we walked around familiarizing ourselves with the layout of the ship, and "forced" ourselves to relax on this overcast day, a perfect day for using the gym, reading and rest.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Tuesday - we awakened to bright sunshine, the clocks being turned back an hour as we entered the Alaskan time zone, with land to the East. Very soon afterwards we were entirely socked in with fog and being entertained by the mournful sound of the fog horn.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As the weatherman correctly predicted, the fog lifted just as we approached the entrance to Tracy Arm. With the warmth of the sun, and little wind, it was very pleasant to spend time out on the bow of our ship.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Wednesday - awakened to a sunny day, docked in Juneau. As we have no 'booked' excursions, we wait for those who have to disembark before we leave our ship to explore this, our first port of call. Juneau is Alaska's Capitol City, the second largest municipality in area in the U.S., totally isolated from the rest of the country by road and only accessible by sea or air.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Friday - with overnight weather predictions of a cool, wet day, we awoke to fog which soon burned off revealing the waterfront of Ketchikan, a small community, known as the Salmon Capitol of the World.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After walking around the commercial area, much of it built on pilings over the water since when the town was first settled there was little land before the mountains rose close to the shore. Many of the former bars a bawdy houses have now been converted into respectable businesses and residences. </span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You have to love Southwest Airlines. They have good prices, free baggage, relatively comfortable seats, great staff, and on time departures and arrivals, including your luggage and here we are in </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Portland,Oregon</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What's not to like about this city? </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Start with a great airport with good signage to find out where to go, and helpful assistants to help you along your way. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A $1.00 ticket gets you on the train to downtown Portland in 38 minutes. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We later found out that as well as a "free zone" for travel in the downtown area, a $5.00 all day ticket will allow you to take trains, buses, and streetcars anywhere on the very efficient and clean transit system. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What a concept to move people and keep cars off the streets.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our first day of touring took us to the Japanese Garden and the International Rose Garden. Both are well laid out, the Japanese Garden being a place of tranquility and beauty, while the Rose Garden, while past its' prime, a rainbow of colors representing over 7000 varieties of roses.</span></div>

The first week in August, my wife Judy and I are off on a week cruise to Alaska. Prior to the cruise, we are flying to Portland, OR to spend a few days and then Seattle, WA where we disembark. Portland is one of the cities on our "must see" list and being just back from Peru, I found a very interesting Peruvian restaurant that I will make a point to try. Naturally, Powell's City of Books store is on our list, and with camera in hand (don't tell Judy), I'm looking forward to visiting their much read about parks and </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">gardens. And of course, Starbucks will have to take a back seat while I sample Stumptown Coffee Roasters offerings.</span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today we explore ancient Ollantaytambo ruins, raft on the Urubamba river, and have a home hosted lunch. All being said, the ruins were magnificent, the rafting was fun in the course of getting wet (as the lead paddler), but the home hosted lunch was the best I have experienced on a Grand Circle/OAT trip, helping to make the chili rellenos, and sampling guinea pig. While driving back to our accommodation, the bus had to be serviced & we had the pleasure of driving in one of the motorcycle taxis, similar to a tuk-tuk in Thailand.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We left Villa Urubamba and on our way to catch the train, stopped to see the workings of a famous potter Pablo Seminario who has collections in both the Smithsonian and the Field Museum in Chicago. The train ride to the town of Aguas Calientes, was very picturesque, and once we arrived, we boarded a bus, taking a long winding road over 2000 feet above the town to our ultimate destination, Machu Picchu. Having seen many pictures and talking to those who have been there before, it pales to the first views of this UNESCO World Heritage sight. We explored for 4 hours, wandering across its terraced landscape, visiting the Sun temple, ritual baths and more, until closing and then headed back to town for a dinner and an early bed, as tomorrow we return to Machu Picchu before dawn to watch the sun rise.</span><br />

Unfortunately the fog was very thick and obscured the land as we initially started our climb to the Sun Gate far above the ruins. Fortunately, the sun eventually broke though to reveal Machu Picchu far below us. After an exhausting 2 hours ascension we returned to view it last time, this marvel of an ancient civilization. After lunch, we returned by train to Ollantaytambo and then bus to Cusco where we will spend the next four days exploring.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A 2 hours drive with the ice capped Andes always in our line of sight, to the Incan ruins of Moray, an ancient agricultural laboratory made up of a series of concentric terraces. From there we headed to Chinchero (elevation 12,500 feet), and visited an elementary school, supported by the Grand Circle Foundation. We were entertained by the students and then sat in a classroom and interacted with them. If the children's dreams come true, Peru's future is very bright. We then went to a village of weavers who are continuing in the ancient traditions of Peru's Quechua (pronounced Ketchuwa). We partook of a meal of potatoes and rice which was a high (12500ft)light as our host at the table, Lucy, answered our many questions and proved to be very knowledgeable of America. On top of working daily at this weaving cooperative, she also drives into Cusco daily to go to school. Her dream is to be a tourist guide. We had a demonstration of how they spin the wool and make the dyes, all natural as did their ancestors. Finally we participated in a Curandero ceremony, a healing ritual with Incan roots, by a mestizo medicine man. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The last day in Cusco, so the morning is spent walking the streets. The area around the central square is teaming with tourists and vendors. Marco, our guide pointed out many areas of Incan influence. We also visited the local mercado/market, and the Plaza de Armas to savor the pulse of the city. Before returning to the hotel, we climbed the steps to a chocolate museum, where we sampled their locally produced items, but also chocolate tea, a very pleasant drink. After our dinner tonight, it is time to pack and look forward to our return to Lima for a day and then home.</span><br />
