In Portugal I harnessed the sun in the palm of my hand… …while I dream of desserts from my last hour in Marrakech: We awake from these dreams, while we wait for the sun while overlooking Lisboa, the city of 7 hills: We also notice the low-lying clouds of...

Calvin is kicking kicked my ass in the blogging department!! But BOY do I have some great excuses for that! I brought the wrong charger to my netbook. Whoops. Calvin travels with all the force of a great Monsoon. Zzzz, so tired. I’m sick. Sleeping in trains,...
