It might not be much but it was a pretty great trip. I've done the trip from Towson, MD to Vienna, VA tons of times but I recently did the trip on public transportation. It was a 3 and a half hour trip and cost less than $15. I took the Bus to Penn station, caught the Marc Train to Union Station, got on the Metro, Red Line transfer to Orange line and take it to the end of the line, and got a ride from the last stop to the venue. I did it by myself (except for the car ride to the venue) but had the company of some great jams the whole way there. I felt like I was getting away from it all for a while. It was wonderful.

The Govindaji Temple in Vrindavan, India. It is so beautiful, and is considered to be one of the finest examples of medieval temple architecture in north india. The temple was built under the guidance of Raghunath Bhatta Goswami between 1570-1590 and it used to stand 7 stories high. The Deity was established by Srila Rupa Goswami who was asked by Lord Chaitanya to excavate all the lost holy places of Vrndavan, where, 5,000 years earlier Lord Krishna performed his childhood pastimes.

That's our charter boat down the bottom, it was sailing away by the time we got back down. I was tempted to let it go.

I stayed on my roof the whole day, watched the sun rise and set and it was beautiful. Just alone with my thoughts, watching busy people go about their business provides a weird sense of alienation. We're all one of those people who're always busily going about our businesses and never stop to enjoy the moment.

Visited Catalina Island for about 4 days this month. Honestly, one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. If you ever get the chance, go. You get a completely different feel on this island. Artists, musicians, poets, actors etc. have flocked here for years. Don't step in bison dung.

So I'm studying in Buenos Aires, and I recently visited Escuela Superior Militar de Aviación. ESMA was a navy school of mechanics in Argentina. It had an underground detention center ran by military dictator, Jorge Rafael Videla. It is said that the navy school students would hear the prisoners being tortured in the basement. After numerous amounts of suffering, the prisoners were drugged then thrown into the Atlantic.

"Dozens of detainees at the ESMA were dropped from military aircraft on the mouth of the Rio de la Plata on the Atlantic Ocean..." (groundreport.com).

This is St Angelo's. A fort that guards The Grand Harbour in Malta. It was one of the forts on the island that was under siege in 1565 as 60,000 Janissary troops intent on expanding the Ottoman Empire did battle with about 500 knights from the Order of St John and the local populace.

St Elmo's is also on the harbour and at one time the incendiaries that were bombarding the two forts lit up the horizon that could be seen from as far away as the Vatican; hence the term St Elmo's Fire as a term to describe the Aurora Borealis.
Looking at this picture and trying to imagine what it must have been like to look out and see ship after ship after ship of battle hardened warriors, and still say nope, leaves me in awe.
Being of Maltese descent I can say that we are either extremely stubborn or extremely courageous and although the jury might still be out; the entire population of the island was awarded a medal for courage for steadfastness during WW2.

I was blessed to live in Haiti for nearly 2 years after the 2010 earthquake. We did a few mountain missions to teach and provide water filtration systems to rural communities. Those were the best and hardest days of my life.
