the Grandest of them all
Friday, April 12th, 2013Driving under a big sky…. Driving over a big prairie… Arriving at a big canyon… The grandest of them all… All this grandeur makes me feel small… In a good way.
Las Vegas
Thursday, April 11th, 2013From the wilderness to wildness! This couple greeted us in the lobby of our Las Vegas hotel. After the tired motel, it was more the a pleasant surprise to be upgraded to a suite in one of the main hotels on the strip. On the 30th floor, looking over at the Caesar´s Palace. Las Vegas [...]
the desert
Tuesday, April 9th, 2013Death Valley. The sand dunes. Early morning. Before breakfast. It doesn´t look far, but it took us an hour to get there, to the top of the dunes in the picture, a little less to go back (without photo breaks). Four layers of wool is three too many. Don´t go far without water. Even at [...]
Hollywood
Monday, April 8th, 2013I guess you can tell by the photo below where I am?! Walk of Fame. It´s hard to know where to look. Down at all the stars, at the shop-windows, at the traffic (so you down get run down) or at all the hustlers, trying to make you buy their newest rap-CD or Eddie Murphy-like [...]
Carmel-by-the-sea and what-Sur?
Thursday, April 4th, 2013Carmel was such a beautiful town! Wow! If I ever become a gazillionaer and can buy summer-houses, I want one of them to be in Carmel-by-the-beach! A lovely town with a beautiful beach, and big-sized Bonsai-trees along the shore. What better way to beautify an old Mission inspired hotel than by placing a life-sized plastic [...]
San Francisco
Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013I´m back in San Francisco, this time on a family holiday. But even a family-holiday contains some art and creative inspiration. Like visiting the Asian Museum, where 10 of the terracotta warriors are visiting from Xian, China. Over 10 000 of them, all different, real-size, with inquisite detail, made around 210 BC. IT´s simply one [...]
travel-tips?
Sunday, March 24th, 2013We´re about to set out on a big family-journey, a two-week holiday in the States. Some of the places I´ve been to before, some not. We have quite an intense itinerary, so I´d appreciate any tips from you on places to go, thing to see and experience. Our route is San Francisco, via Big Sur [...]
EAPPI, lectures, Shabbat and other thoughts
Monday, January 14th, 2013Now that my week in Israel has come to an end, I will share with you the reason that I went there in the first place. My best friend, Anne, is here for 3 months, and I´ve been visiting her. She´s working as a voluntary peace-observer with the World Council of Churches, an ecumenical organization [...]
Tel Aviv
Sunday, January 13th, 2013I arrived in Tel Aviv rather late, and only had the afternoon/evening to explore this secular city. Taking a stroll along the beach towards Old Jaffa during sun-set: Jaffa is the oldest part of Tel Aviv, including one of the world’s oldest ports and lots of winding stairs between century old stone houses. Everything was so neat [...]
