“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” – Tim Cahill

PART FOUR

Seaside and seagulls
Sailboats with long hulls
Blue waters and skies
Would have stayed longer,
But oh, how time flies!

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta

PART THREE

A land filled with rocks and lava
Taking it easy with a cup of java
Especially since it’s as hot as a sauna
But still, this is almost complete nirvana

“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls.” – Anais Nin

PART TWO

A road trip to a nearby village
If we were Vikings, we’d certainly pillage
A quaint little place
A while everyone stays
But later it’s time to set sail
And back to the resort trail

“Vamos a la playa!”

PART ONE

Into the harbour and down to the beach
Plenty of scenery if that’s what you seek
Blue skies, sunshine and warm weather
How could the holidays get any better?

“A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill” Robert A. Heinlein

Down the Hill (Daily Photo)

When ever there is snow on the ground
And a small mountain or a molehill found
The kids will arrive in flocks
Dragging their sleighs to the top
“Mommy, mommy, look at me!
Look how fast I am going!
Oops, look, there’s a tree!”

<Crash, bang, boing>

“Mommy, mommy, look no teeth!”
The kid only laughingly stated
As back up hill he ventured
If only to once more ride
Before getting his dentures

“This is my favourite kind of art” Gun Roswell

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-01-26

For this week’s quote, I have chosen one from the late and great Andy Warhol. This is something all of us, trying to “create art”, can easily relate to:

“Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it is good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” Andy Warhol

Andy Warhole Quote

“We’re on a highway to Hell-sinki!”

A Trip To Helsinki City (Sightseeing and Walkabout) One

Helsinki, the little town in the middle of nowhere, called Finland. You may have heard of it?

The place where all Finns dress in jumpsuits all year long and polar bears roam the streets. Penguins and other arctic dwellers are as familiar house pets as a cat or a dog. These Finns talk in funny accents and drink lots of coffee. They drive like nuts, because rally is in their bloods. They sit naked in the middle of freezing cold in a lake or a pond. In return, they have this dark small lodge, called the Sauna, where they sit naked in a hundred degree heat. Then later in July, when the sun comes out once a year, the complain about a twenty degree heat.

Yes, you know who they are! Welcome to Hell-sinki!
