A Ness Place To Visit
Inverness I must say, what the Glasgow gloom did to dishearten my spirits about Scotland, Inverness lit my opinions with sunshine. Though I arrived in the dark and rain, by Sunday morning, true to the day’s name, the sun was shining. I didn’t end up going out Friday night, as Barbara’s boyfriend never made it …
Glasgow-go-go
Sigh… After failing, once again, to secure a ride with my thumb, I returned to the house in Manchester, begging and pleading for another night’s accommodation. It was cool to stay another night, as I got to know Pete a bit better, as he only showed up on Monday night. I informed him that when …
Hitching – Take II, Bugger, take it all.
Is there something wrong with me? I mean seriously… no one picked me up Haha. Perhaps I’m too intimidating? Perhaps I am just too impatient.

Feelin' The Love In London
It’s a bit of a test to be writing this on my laptop, so as to save time on the Internet. Where to begin, where to begin… After braving the I90 and the outskirts of Buffalo, Vanessa, Dana and I arrived at the Buffalo-Niagara International Airport. I sorted myself out at the ticket counter, said …
Wanderlust
“Roads go ever ever on, Over rock and under tree, By caves where never sun has shone, By streams that never find the sea: Over snow by winter sown, And through the merry flowers of June, Over grass and over stone, And under mountains in the moon. Roads go ever ever on Under cloud and …
