1 frame per kilometer

3,000 of them. Approx distance covered and pics we took of places we went. The NZ trip was the most photographed trip in terms of how much there was to capture through the lens much to he dismay of my family. They thought I'd lost it (again) as they often could not locate me on long walks. I might have been enraptured by some bird or a funny sign along the road we travelled.

Losing oneself physically and mentally can come easily whilst meandering throughout NZ. Beginning the journey in the city of sails - Auckland - them traveling all the way south beyond the 45th parallel to experience the roaring forties...latitudes with high wind..then back up through glacier country and the western spine of the southern alps we arrived back to Ack for the final flights home.

I ran into quite a few new migrants that have made this country their home - some from Pune, India, some from other parts of India as well..students, learning to cook to manage resorts to others that are here to teach soccer or to run bakeries..from Korea to other Eastern European nations..seemingly happier than what they left behind.

I for one think its a wonderful place that can serve as a retirement option down the road if there is such a thing.

Next blogs shall include pictures without narrative to sell the readership on this natures' best down under.

Costa Rica

Our first foray into Central America. That elongated isthmus that forms the geographic boundary between two vast continents of North and South America. Specifically landing for NYE 2026 in San Jose, Costa Rica. Capital city for this region that does not have its own army, instead relying on its big bro the Estados Unidos to the north is a metropolis of approx. 500K people. Largely wilderness and with both a Pacific and Carribean/Atlantic coast the country is rich in bio diversity. In Spanish it means the rich coast so named by Columbus landing in early 16th century and being mesmerized by the local tribes sporting gold jewelry. Our stay included visiting the foothills of a large strato volcano called Arenal and enjoying the naturally heated thermal baths for a while. Lunching amidst lush forest and watching indigenous species of avian noise makers fly overhead. Toucans, some sort of pea hens, multiple song bird species completed the spectacle. Iguanas and a lonel...

Charges attract

It is said that opposites attract meaning people with contrary viewpoint sometimes find chemistry to be together. But I'm referring to a modern twist where people are merely attracted towards a common place because their uber communication device aka smart phone is about to die. The charging station. From airports to hotel lobbies or even bathrooms, when in need they are attracted to this power outlet like moths to a flame or a junkie to a needle. A whole new business of supplying these hyper connected folks is now born whose lifesaver product is a backup charge. Asian tourists perpetually carry a phone sized battery pack stuck to their latest Apple phone updating their status to folks in Hong Kong or Shanghai or Bangalore as they pose for selfies with weird facial expressions and fingers pointed out in a letter V. Vain? PS: I dis'charged' my blogger duties making this insightful observation as my phone is about to breathe it's last and my flight gets call...

Veni Vidi and Videod

Julius Ceasar is credited with a Latin phrase that reads - Veni, Vidi, Vici as in he came, he saw and he conquered. The summer vacation for the child meant we needed to do what we do as an annual event. Go see a new place. Italy won the draw this year. So we went for a couple weeks. To check out the land of fairy tales, of great warriors and amazing inventions; birthplace of Christianity and its current CEO, land of Romeo and Juliet, a land in many ways similar to our home state of California. In terms of its geography and populations and their respective shapes CA resembles Italy a lot. Both have a grand coastline, they both have multi cultural groups of people residing in its lands and mountains, both have northern edges covered by snow covered high mountain ranges that are formed of volcanic and tectonic activity over millenia. What we do not have in the Golden State is the renaissance, the art, the history. It was a particular interest of our d...
