When he declined, then give rides to all the hotel staff who have to put up with him every day! Thanks for keeping the posts updated. Stay focused until the end. peace! -kb I think you should had offered the grumpy hotel owner a ride in the car — would have loved to see the reaction on his face.

What was those step like engravings on the side of a mountain in the seventh photo taken from Paranal to Copiapo ? It is difficult to tell from the photos but the sky at ESO seems clearer and more blue as if “ on a clear day you can see forever ” - we noticed these sort of changes in the colour of the sky , when you were in Canada nearing Vancouver . The eighteenth photo of the succulent plant thrusting itself through the crust of the parched parchment of an earth gives hope that even against all the odds we have a chance – thanx again for pointing it out to us . We wish you all , our best regards from Ladysmith ( Kwazulu Natal ) in an overcast corner of South Africa , Charles and friends . Dear RGET ,

However , Tongoy was the gateway for some of the copper mines in the region , it is predominantly a tourist town . Certainly it makes sense that engineers would start to take cognizance of their environment particularly when the perceptions of renewable energy has become so important to provide eco friendly solutions – we ALL have to become a lot more proactively conscious of our environment . We wish you all the best from Ladysmith – South Africa , Charles and friends . Dear RGET ,
