8220;Two roads diverged in a wood and I . I took the one less traveled.” - Robert Frost. Thursday, December 31, 2015. Books Read - The Alchemist. Besides travelling, I love to read. Here's one inspiration book I read in Dec 2015. The story then jumps forward in time and finds Santiago digging a hole at the base of the tree where he had had his first dream. Sure enough, he finds a trunk full of gold–enough for him and Fatima to live happily for a long time. Wednesday, December 30, 2015. We booked the Hote...

Briefly in Japan — April 2014: making the Blurb photobook

Briefly in Japan — April 2014. Tokyo, Kyoto, rail everywhere including remote central Honshu mountains to the west coast. Tuesday, 3 June 2014. Making the Blurb photobook. I have just published a book through Blurb to cover our travels. This is a very different thing from the blog. It was somewhat tormenting to try and change the brain space from blogging to booking. The result becomes something more than a photo album with some thoughts, but in the end mainly visual images. Make Your Own Book. 2015 Mexi...
