Western New York – November 2000
Western New York – November 2000 By Carolyn Kourofsky Hollywood East (of Erie) Attention, shoppers. Today’s bakery special is a movie camera with a side of sound boom. Quiet on the set. If this supermarket were in LA, no one would even notice.
Victoria, BC Canada – November 2000

Trekking in Nepal – Arrival 3
Tuesday 24th October The British Embassy was the first port of call. Details of my planned itinerary were left here in case of an emergency. Then a taxi took me to Bodhnath, the largest stupa in Nepal and among the largest in the world. It is the religious centre for Nepal’s considerable population of Tibetans.
Tim and Mari’s World Tour – Back Home
Back Home Today is October 23rd, 2000. One year ago on this day, my wife and I left to travel around the world on a backpacking-honeymoon saga. As of this day our plane tickets, world health coverage, and camera warranties all expire. We have reached the magic point that our Gregorian calendars dictate is significant.
Trekking in Nepal – Arrival 2
Monday 23rd October My wake up call at 7 a.m. was not needed because I woke up early. Round the corner from KGH is Le Bistro Restaurant and the breakfast there seemed reasonable. There is a large open courtyard that is ideal for outdoor dining. The good value breakfasts are particularly popular.
Trekking in Nepal – Arrival 1
Saturday 21st/Sunday 22nd October The flight left Heathrow on time at 4:30 p.m., but not before there had been disagreements between the manager and some of the passengers. This occurred because they were not guaranteed a seat and were put on standby. Biman Bangladesh Airlines were running true to form; they are notorious for overbooking.

Our Gundogan Blue Voyage #5
Day Seven After breakfast and a short beer run (we were on our 15th case of the local Efes beer – which was obviously very tasty) we left the harbor to find another quiet cove. A swim and a nap and a delicious lunch of green beans with tomatoes and bulgur – and we were
Our Gundogan Blue Voyage #8
Day Eleven The following morning we returned to Olympus and played 18 holes of frisbee golf using each one of the buildings ruins as a hole. It was great fun. We did not have time to see Chimera, the place where the first Olympic torch was lit from eternal flames that rise from the earth
Our Gundogan Blue Voyage #7
