Don’t get me wrong, Tel Aviv is a nice city, but I didn’t have any plans to stay here for two weeks. My laptop battery finally came in and everything is now fine in computerland. I’ve been here so long I ended being in Tel Aviv during Yom HaZikaron, Israel’s memorial day. Unlike memorial day …
First, let me say that there is no way I could visit this place and not use this as a headline for a post. Impossible. Second, I’ve been sneezing almost non-stop since I’ve gotten here. I have some sort of super hay fever. Perhaps it is some variant of SARS or the bird flu. I …
I’ve left Adelaide and am now in Coober Pedy, South Australia. This town is……unique. The place i’m stayin is 15 feet underground.

I’m often asked if there are things I miss from home. Outside the obvious friends and family there is one thing I miss. Watching the Green Bay Packers. Today they are playing in what will be one of the coldest games in NFL history for the NFC Championship at Lambeau Field. It doesn’t get much …
This will have to be quick. I found an internet connection, but I only have a few minutes. So far, Kakadu has been pretty amazing. It is part African savanna, part American Southwest indian ruins. Since I’ve been here I’ve probably shot 6gb of photos and I’m going on a river boat tour in about …
