Fruita Revisited
Apple trees and redrock cliffs. Lawns next to a turquoise river. Fields where cows graze and mule deer come out of the desert canyons to eat the grass and nibble the gnarly fruits that have fallen from the trees.

I have no quarrel with cows other than their habit of manufacturing fuel for fires in a most unappetizing display of foot-wide olive galaxies.

The cottonwoods undulate outside....the blue light from without. How wonderful it would be if it flowed and had substance. How great it would be if you could have Crater Lake in a cup.

An elderly hiker examines a boulder. Another fellow says "Very nice, actually. Very nice." He tries to circle the pond by way of the talus.

It doesn't take long to get to Mystery Falls from the seven pale rose stairs that lead to the Virgin River at the end of the Riverside Walk. I feel a bit like a Baptist gone to irrigate his soul and purge the sins away....

Joel live from anywhere.
I want to tell you about the koalas I am seeing in the Blue Mountains, the chambered nautilus I fished up from the Pacific, the meerkats blinking in the African sun, the okapis swishing their tails in the Congo rainforests.

Casa de los Amigos Earthquake Report
They don't have any special fund for earthquake relief, yet, but there's a chance that some of the indigenous communities that they assist will present them with needs in the near future.

The people in Mexico City have been kind and friendly without resorting to the grabby tactics I know so well from Tijuana and other places on the south side of the friendly strands of barbed wire.

We decided that we hadn't done a real foreign trip since 1992 (the one day jaunts to Tecate, Ensenada, and Tijuana just don't count) so Mexico City won over New Orleans.
