Ah Toronto, our last port of call.
I had been here once before, when I was a young tyke. All I remembered from then was the heat, the shiny buildings, maple ice cream with sugar cage, seeing lots of Claes Oldenburg and a Louise Bourgeois exhibit that gave me nightmares. I had fun then but to [...]

I just realised I might as well finish the tales of the rest of our travels.
Well yes, after New York, shimmy off to Montreal did we.
To begin with, obviously when going to Montreal, a key idea should be the Francophone element, particularly when I’ve learned of Quebec separatism and my friend is over there to [...]

Hello hello. I am on the train to Toronto, having been to New York and Montreal since we last spoke. Welcome. The train’s actually almost over, thus I do not have long to write but I needed to finish my copy of Garp you see. Except somehow along the way, since the purchase of said [...]

I am finding this blog business very hard to keep up with. No time, no internet, too impatient to bother. *grumble*
Today I am in New York, but as I haven’t written about the past few days, I’ll try a quick one for Chicago:
- The Museum of Contemporary Art, as expected, is much more interesting than [...]

I just realised I never posted this properly. gah. Here:
Austin, Austin, Austin. What hath you brought me? Well, apart from aforementioned deathly mosquito bites and extreme mugginess, Austin was jolly fun. I knew it wouldn’t be a particularly truthful representation of the mythical Texas but I hadn’t realised quite how much it would suit me.
Our [...]

Ello ello ello.
I have just survived a 48 hour bus ride and am now in Austin, TX. Cloudy and hot hot hot. Apparently we’ll be getting thunderstorms tonight though- winner.
Of course once again the days since my last post have become a blur, but here’s what I remember:
After Cambria we drove back to San Francisco [...]
Highway 1 and Point Montara Lighthouse

I think I’ve found my favourite place I won’t say too much, but let’s just say: lighthouse, rocky cliffs, crashing waves of mounting tides, adventurous coves and pretty flowers. All that was missing was some sandwiches and ginger ale and it would have fulfilled my Enid Blyton ideal. But even without the picnic [...]
Leaving LA

Oh ho ho we’re out of LA and in Cambria.
This afternoon we did indeed go to ‘Psychiatry: Industry of Death’, the Scientology museum but it was closed. There was a sign on the door saying they’d be opening at 1pm but since it was around that time anyway, Tommy went to [...]

Now I promised I’d write a blog, but the problem now is that so much has happened and I can’t remember what to say. So please forgive the incoherency but here are a few snippets:
-Right now, we’re in LA, but we’re leaving today and we’ve only been here a couple of days. We figured we’d [...]
