Getting the "sense" of Canada outdoors.

Treasure Hunting.

I went Treasure Hunting ( Geocaching.com ).
Something I wanted to do for the longest time.

Amaazing, I had to travel more than 3000km from my home land, to get this.

Reading the little notepad with logs of all the people that have been before, in that secluded spot.

Sudently all the forest arround mw became very special.






[Sitting next to the cache, looking up]


So I liked so much, that I went for another one.

This one is ID: GCHFBR


Here I found Fat Firefighter Fred [travel bug id: TBMZ4Q], whose current goal is: To travel the world reminding all of the importance of forest fire prevention.

So I took it out, took it home, showed it to the kids, and will re-place him on another cache.... soon...

Day 23 The Arkansas & Missouri Rail Road

I was lost in town, looking for the post office.

And I am glad I was.

I found this squirl eating nuts un top of a stop sign.





I finally found the US Post Office.






I liked this house, by the trees.


As I passed by the train station, I noticed lots of kids.

So I stopped by...



More kids!


It is 10:55am, it will be a 3 hour ride, so went to Cottage Cafe across the street for a quick lunch.




Boarding up!


I got upgraded to the Parlot wagon (the advantages of being handsome).


[Proof that I was there]


"The house of Screams" wagon...[Therwhere 120 kids]


I had to resist temptation.


The train ride was nice.
I would like to say that I met two wonderful souls.

On one side there was Patty Lentz, she was the hostess on the Van Buren to Winslow train ride, quite a character. It is not common to find someone willing to take a good laught at himself. But on top of that, quite charming and with an excelent sense of humor. I had a great time with her.

O the other side, there was Stacia, one of the train pasangers.
A lady in the late forties, that as was driving to Roseville, saw a sign on the highway promoting the A&M Express, and quickly decided to get out of the high way, and try it out. It is great to see people that preserve their joung spirit all their lifes.

After 3 hours, the 70 mile trip was over (Van Buren to Windslow and backwards).
We all part on our own paths. Patty will probalbly continue to virtual travel, as she meets people from all over the country (or the world) on her train runs.

Stacia, will get her way to Rosewell, and hike the Grand Canion sometime withing the next couple of weekes. Good luck with that Stacia.

And I, whell who knows, stay tuned!

Man against nature

Last night I made my mind to go on a road trip to a near state, Dallas, TX.

I tought, I could wake up at 7am, be ready by 8, and be there by lunch time.
And so I did the tremendous sacrifice of getting up early in the morning.
It was not easy. "I am on vacation".

Well, as stubborn as I am, I am not going to fight nature.
There is a huge tunderstorm outhere... The weather channel has a "severe weather" flag for this area.

Ahhh... what a great excuse for stayin in bed all day...

 

Day 21

Last night I dream I was running

Like all my dreams, it was very realistic.
I could se myself doing it wrong, being unable to coordinate the breathing, stoping and restaring multiple times.

It was exausting, I sweated cold, way before I was even properly warm up.
I was overdoing.

But it was just a dream.

Today, as I woke up, I noticed that my legs hurt.

Agustín is bothering me, we should launch this new product “Excersice while you sleep”.

It is going to be a hit!
