Willemstad

Photogenic but not big, quiet late in the day once the cruise ships get ready to sail. Lots and lots of europeans!

Snowcapped Andes behind Santiago this morning

Wow! Inspiring!

Beautiful Santiago!

Sun is finally out but it is cool, maybe 55 degrees. Listening to MSU
spank No Colorado on the radio here in my room thanks to the internet. Go
State!

Stranded In Downtown Battle Creek

Amtrak does it again! 1 hour delay due to freight traffic and rail work.
Then the train abruptly stopped outside of Kalamazoo due to a "near miss" -
a trespasser was nearly hit by the train. Legally an inspection required
before continuing.

5 hours later we get to.... Kalamazoo! Then finally a quick jaunt to
Battle Creek only to be delayed 500 yards from the station for another 10
minutes as we were not given permission to stop.
Of course my transfer bus to East Lansing long departed and the next bus
is... in 3 and a half hours! Needless to say the 20 or so kids going to
East Lansing with me are royally pissed for missing the partying that
awaits them.

Me.... I got a refund for the bus portion, took a walk to downtown and
plopped my ass on a barstool at the Arcadia Brewing Company. I'll put my
refund into lunch and a beer as I wait for my bro to pick me up.

If only the Spartan kids down the street at the station knew they were so
close to beer....

Folsom Prison Blues in Nashville

At a Honky Tonk in Nashville. Playing Johnny Cash and 80's country.

Fun!

A walk in Central Park

Finally it has cooled down in NYC, a great time for a quick lunch walk
through the park. Beautiful weather!

Home in a few hours... NYC was nice but very much looking forward to the
weekend!
