I’m finally putting up this article from the Prince George Free Press July 2010.
I find it hard to believe that the kayak trip I describe only took place a year ago.
In so many ways, it might as well have happened in another lifetime. How does that work?
Time feels thick with all the images, experiences, traveling and happenings since that trip. But looking through my photos and reading this article, that I wrote almost a year ago, reminds me how much I loved that week of kayaking in the Johnstone Straits.
I’m looking forward to our upcoming kayak trip that starts on the 23rd of this month. I can only hope the weather’s as nice as good as what we experienced last August.
This following article is from the Surrey Now newspaper. It’s a a short piece I did about my impressions of Prague from last September. That trip too, is like something that happened in another far-off time and almost to someone else.
Incredible, how it all layers and deepens. I think of it like an old piece of furniture that’s been painted over and over. Scratch a little past that surface coat of creamy white and you’ll suddenly come upon a vivid layer of lime green, revealing our trip to Prague, dig through another layer of turquoise paint and then you’ll find Hungary, and on it goes… layer upon layer of colours, images, words and memories.
Great piece in the Surrey Now about Prague, as well as your post about the Buddha Bar Hotel! I’m going to Prague for the first time in September, on a speedy train trip to research a, well, train travel feature, and I only have a couple of days in each city I’m visiting. I really appreciate the insight.
Well bless you. That Buddha Bar Hotel really was quite an extraordinary experience. I would highly recommend checking out Prague’s whole Jewish Museum. It incorporates quite a few different places in the neighbourhood. Don’t miss the incredible cemetery. Have a great trip.
