Homeward Bound

After a few days discovering the delights of La Paz, returning home tomorrow (though not actually arriving til day after). My mini sojourns to San Francisco, Peru and Bolivia have been great but all too brief. However, on the plus side, it will be nice reacquainting myself with familiar things, […]


Isla Del Sol

Did I say all good things must come to an end?? Well that may well be true but hey, maybe from endings come new beginnings… I’m off on me travels again soon. San Francisco CA, followed by a mad cap scheme to link up with friends travelling in South America. […]
