Snow in Arizona desert in March 2005 |
My flight from Auckland
was delayed for 2 hours due to unaccompanied luggage on the plane. Whilst under
3rd degree security check at San Francisco
airport, there was security ALERT for few seconds when we all FROZE on the spot
waiting for Hollywood style action to take
place.
Since leaving Auckland , I
have added 5 hours and few more grey hair to my life whilst crossing the
International Date Line and finished up in Portland to recover.
Portland: is a city of roses during summer and bridges, art,
literature all the year around. It is a city of liberal people who have elected
to have their own TV channel and had in the past, allowed an Indian Guru
to set up the biggest Hindu Temple in USA and watch him collect, amongst other
good things in life, ROLL ROYCES, whilst paying very little tax!It is a city of mountains, waterfalls, gorges, and the Pacific sea on one side and acres and acres of timber yards all around.
It is also a city where the main library is built to look like a palace and where you can enjoy 1 hour of free access to fast and efficient internet service, what more would you want?( NO MORE SPELLING MISTAKES PLEASE).
If you happen to go to the Grand Canyon by road, on doubt you will pass through the INDIAN RESERVATION settlements, the PANDADOSA region and don't be surprised if you sink into 12 inches of snow in the Arizona Desert this time of the year !
Whilst here in the LAND of PLENTY
for a short period, I hear that the battles still continuous over the land
rights between the NATIVE AMERICAN ( Red Indian) and the WHITEMAN who rule the
land. There does not seem to be any racial harmony between the AFRICAN AMERICAN
( the Blackman) and the WHITES either and on top of all this there
are 1000's of ILLEGAL ALIENS ( illegal immigrants not from another
planet but from planet Earth) who keep ALL AMERICANS on their toes!
My final port of call is, I understand the melting pot
of the world and it will be the first time I shall be setting my
tired feet in I fly to Rio Janeiro on 16th March and I need more luck plus some Spanish lessons to get by?
Look forward to meeting you all with bunches of GOOD LUCK in
Love..............from sunny, beautiful.....
