Life on a one-way ticket. Sunday, November 28, 2010. 8220;The City of Eternal Spring”. Right Apparently “spring” in Spanish is the equivalent of monsoon! But who doesn’t love a good thunderstorm? And Bowie doesn’t seem to mind, accustomed as she is to the daily hammering, drilling, etc. that forms our daily soundtrack at the hostel. Plus, what better way to discover the less than watertight sections of the roof? Spanish and I, we’re going to be best friends. Best friends forever, even. BFFs...I want to c...

Thursday, January 13, 2011. The General in His Labyrinth. Saturday, January 8, 2011. In the first morning, on the road from the boarder, I rec...

Life on a one-way ticket. Wednesday, April 6, 2011. Our time in Bogota was filled with live jazz, salsa clubs, mouthwatering martinis, international food, a flea market, plazas, museums, and general wanderings.

All in all a great trip, and since I didn’t freeze my butt off as expected, I see return trips in my future. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

life on a one-way ticket: July 2010
http://elizabethacsewell.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Life on a one-way ticket. Thursday, July 22, 2010. A Change Is Going to Come. The question is, to whom? Let’s look at the odds. India is 63 years old in name, centuries old in reality, and has over a billion people behind her. I am young and alone.

It doesn’t take a genius to guess whose going to win this war but let me just be clear about something, it is I. Monday, July 19, 2010. My feet are always dirty.
