A place to grow in the hills of Missouri…. March of the Seasons and Halloween Fun. October 30th, 2010. The days come and go… I seem to remember one of my grandmothers, while visiting her in a nursing home more than a decade ago. She kept repeating, “Time and tide waits for no man…”. We decorated around the house the other night… it was fun. Putting up spider webs and lights. I don’t remember such festivities for Halloween while growing up, but that’s okay. I hope you are all doing well. Enjoy the sea...

A place to grow in the hills of Missouri…. A Happy Dog…. November 24th, 2010. I am just a happy dog. I get to play outside, and swim and roll in the grass… life is great! 6 Responses to “A Happy Dog…”. On 14 Jun 2010 at 7:22 am. I’ve seen dogs have bad moments but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dog have an entire bad day. Wouldn’t life be grand if we all had a little more dog in us? On 14 Jun 2010 at 7:27 pm. You’re only a dog, old fellow;. A dog, and you’ve had your day;. Has been truer than you always.

http://jeff-ridingrails.blogspot.com/2011/11/tallinn-edinburgh-and-new-lanark-and.html
Friday, November 4, 2011. Tallinn, Edinburgh and New Lanark (and two reunions). Click on photos to enlarge. The bus ride from St. Petersburg to Tallinn was a treat. As I stepped onto the bus, they handed me a bottle of water. Coffee was also available, the seats were nice, there was a power plug at every seat AND there was wifi! Is it a buffet? 8221; He shook his head. “What do you get for ten euro? November 4, 2011 at 12:27 PM. November 4, 2011 at 4:21 PM. November 5, 2011 at 8:28 AM. Im glad your famil...

http://jeff-ridingrails.blogspot.com/2011/11/london-york-and-dover-august-19-24-2011.html
Thursday, November 24, 2011. London, York and Dover (August 19-24, 2011). We arrived at the Kings Crossing Station in London early on Friday evening, August 19. Things were busy as we moved through the subway with our luggage to the London School of Economics where we were to stay for the next four days. We were hungry, but wanted to drop off our bags first. We found the Holborn Hall (located a couple blocks from the Holborn subway station) and checked in. So we set out to find another store. They told u...

Riding Rails: June 2011
http://jeff-ridingrails.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 29, 2011. Kota Bharu and Georgetown (Penang), June 18-21, 2011. Main Street, Kota Bharu. Kota Bharu and Georgetown (Penang). The sign by the door was all in Chinese characters. Kota Bhura is a conservative Muslim city and there were few westerners around. Many of the men wore the robes and hats and most of the women wore veils. The call to prayer was heard throughout the day. It was hot and humid. That Sunday morning, I went back to my room and read a few Psalms before taking an hour nap.

Riding Rails: August 2011
http://jeff-ridingrails.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 28, 2011. Beijing to Ulan Bator, Mongolia (July 27-28, 2011). Wednesday, August 24, 2011. Beijing (July 25-26, 2011). The temple overlooking the Forbidden City. On the top of a hill just to the north of the Forbidden City, in Jungham Park, is a temple. There, the massive golden Buddha sits looking down on the Emperor’s massive residence. The recent rains had partly cleared the skies, but it was still hazy. Pollution is real here. To draw from an old cliché, the place is fit for a king.

Riding Rails: July 2011
http://jeff-ridingrails.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 25, 2011. Ha Long Bay (July 15-17, 2011). Ha Long Bay View. It was a hokey tour, but the place is enchanting. After watching the movie Indochine,. Ha Long Bay became a “must-see” place on my bucket list. I looked into trying to get there via train to Haiphong, but realized I would still be a great distance from where I wanted to be. So, the simplest solution (and cheapest) was to book a tour. It was a good deal and the place is enchanting, especially in the fog and even in the rain. His Viet...

Riding Rails: October 2011
http://jeff-ridingrails.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 22, 2011. St Petersburg, Russia. St Petersburg, the Seattle of the Baltic! Yet, even the rain couldn’t tarnish the pleasure of being in this beautiful city. I had two and a half days there, not nearly enough time. It was the end of the Intrepid tour. Which had started three weeks earlier in Beijing. Amongst the joy of seeing the sights was also sadness as we parted ways and headed off into different directions. Russian Pay Toilets: Ana waits to make a deposit. Saturday, October 15, 2011.
