Escape the innocence at home. Saturday, August 01, 2009. The real Asia: Tsukiji central fish market (築地市場). The smell is conspicuously un-fishy. It is all fresh, brought on shore no more than an hour ago. It is 5:00 am, and we hitch a ride on a barrel-engine go-cart, holding on tightly as the driver swerves between piles of the day's catch. Our destination is the main attraction: the wholesale tuna trade. Was that tuna frozen that went thru the bandsaw? And Im enjoying your new movie camera, too. Whe...

Tramps Abroad...: November 2009
http://tramps-abroad.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Escape the innocence at home. Saturday, November 28, 2009. A Take on Thailand and Tourism. A sightly beach and turquoise waters nearly line the main landing strip at Phuket airport, setting the tone right for the scores of sun worshipers as they touch down.But first-time-Thailanders will quickly find that there is a lot more to the country than water and sand. Granted, Thais are out to make a buck and swarm Westerners, hawking "Taxi! Highjacking the conversation, he tells us how the boat he lived on in F...

Escape the innocence at home. Sunday, April 12, 2009. The art of piñata.smashing. Pupils at an elementary school in Orange Walk demo their piñata-bludgeoning skills just before Christmas break. Belizeans have their own art to the tradition. Here a run-down of the techniques. I never got to do that as I kid! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tramps Abroad...: January 2010
http://tramps-abroad.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Escape the innocence at home. Sunday, January 03, 2010. Playing cards in the dirt (Part I): "Same hand, different suit". Throughout Cambodia, in the gutters off the tarmac, under a spattering of dust on country roads, from the sandy shores to the banks of the river-ways consistently and inexplicably lie the remnants of playing cards. Are they for the spokes of children's bicycles? A makeshift replacement part for the ubiquitous tuk tuks? Or just a sign of the prior night's street-gambling shenanigans?

Escape the innocence at home. Saturday, August 22, 2009. It's the ball to the boot of peninsular Malaysia - the country's Sicily if you will. The island of Tioman is a 90-minute ferry ride from the costal town of Mersing. Kate and I packed our courage to brave the deep and investigate the wrecks and wildlife of the island's extensive coral mantel. Here are a few shots of the course, the tribulations, and the rewards:. What a great adventure! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Escape the innocence at home. Saturday, April 11, 2009. Oh, what you can get in a can. These were all firsts for me: Green tea in a can, a barley drink in a "can," and. Colt 45 in a can. Had to travel half the globe to find that one. I'm not sure which is worse, that they actually offer it, or that it costs 2.50 a can. Perry: I liked the misspelled version of the barley drink better.:-) Connie. 40's in a can.hmmmmmmmm! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Rainy Day Spring Fever.

Escape the innocence at home. Saturday, August 01, 2009. Having fun with Shibuya square (渋谷区). Not much of a post. Just having some fun. This is Shibuya. Square, shot from the upper-level of a Starbucks in Tokyo. The rain was coming down, and it was fun to catch the commuters with their umbrellas popped and scrambling to their offices. This might be one of my all-time favorites on your blog. :-). Aww, this made me miss Japan in a lot of ways. Great video, thank you. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Escape the innocence at home. Saturday, May 23, 2009. Tris learns to fish. Kate's brother in Belize, Tris, learned to fish on an outing with his grandfather. We sat back and enjoyed the lesson. Although you don't see the action so much here, Tris ended up catching more than anyone on the boat. The catch got cooked up a few days later back at an Orange Walk BBQ - Marie Sharp was again a most welcome guest. Ηi thегe, the ωhole thing iѕ. Goіng nicelу here аnd оfcourse eνery.

The Rubles: January 2015
http://edandlisaruble.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 27, 2015. I signed us up for a fantastic Breakfast with Santa at WMU this year. Red velvet chocolate chip pancakes for the boys, a lovely room, friendly wait staff, and most importantly, an understanding Santa. The day started with me having to talk TJ out of wearing sweat pants- we compromised on jeans (though with a hole in the knee, I'm not sure those are much better than sweat pants! Jojo looks hesitant here because he had to be talked into eating the red pancakes. Kathy and I contin...

The Rubles: June 2015
http://edandlisaruble.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 28, 2015. The Ellestads, Swensons, Rhyans, and Santinis came to Kalamazoo for Easter this year. We had a full house and plenty of fun. Saturday afternoon we had an egg hunt. There were 7 little boys running around the yard! Checking out the loot. Seven cousins/second cousins under the age of 6:. Ben (7 months), Vince (5), James (2), Isaac (9 months), TJ (6), Jojo (3), Dominic (2). And yes, it was cold! The kids loved eating them! The next morning, the Easter bunny had come. The boys started ...
