Just go back from my preprandial drink with my SIL.
They have seen the light - they are postponing the trip to the islands until the low season as they have to pay off as much of the Malta Mortgage as possible this year. A trip in the LOW season will be just as good but much more relaxed.
A trip to the islands followed by a trip across three countries to a fourth is a bit too much.
Now he is thinking of getting a catamaran kit from Canada and building it over here.
(I will keep you posted - lol )
That last one does not seem to work and I don´t know why - even on the host site it does not work either.
I suppose because I am looking 30 years younger and a veritable Beau Brummel has something to do with it. But of course you did got mention my native charm, wit and intellectual accomplishments. And, lest we forget, my cultivated modesty is also quite attractive.
Now Miz Yorkie, the clobber you describe is something that I am sure you would find in pride of place in the wardrobes of Sharky, Pup or Nully. However, as you are aware, by my previous post, the matter is now moot.
Your translation is much better than your analysis of my favored status. :)
Cannot play back the file. The file format is invalid.
*nevermind*
This is Antelope Canyon, Cardi. It is a small but exquisitely beautiful geological formation in northern Arizona. It is not a national or state park and is often overlooked by many tourists visiting the area. It takes only an hour or two to see it all, but it is worth the time. Its unsurpassed beauty is breathtaking. It is a photographer's dream.
Antelope Canyon is located a few miles of east of Page, Arizona. Actually there are two antelope Canyon's located on either side of route 98. Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon are both owned by the Navajo Nation. Unfortunately, they charge separate entry fees of about $18 per person for each part of this attraction. Since the upper and lower canyons are very similar, you need visit only one.
Page Arizona is located on the Utah border of North Central Arizona. This small desert community is primarily known as the location of the Glen Canyon Dam and the gateway to the Lake Powell recreational area. It is about two hours from Monument Valley, two hours from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, three hours from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, two hours from Zion National Park and four hours from Las Vegas.
The entrances to upper and lower Antelope Canyon are easy to miss. Only small signs along route 98 mark these attractions. They are located about five miles east of Page just before the great Navajo power generating plant. A small admissions booth and a parking lot are the only noticeable features in the desert landscape.
As you approach the Canyon on foot, it is almost unnoticeable from even a few meters distance. You see only a small crack in the rock at the bottom of a dry streambed. Closer inspection reveals a small metal ladder descending into the crack. It is barely wide enough for a person to squeeze through. A series of ladders and stairs takes you down into an unbelievably narrow canyon.
The sandstone bedrock has been intricately carved by the infrequent but often violent flow of water. It is sculpted into beautiful undulating curves and hollows that vary from one to three meters wide by up to 50 meters deep. The sunlight filtering down from above produces a myriad of soft colors and shadows. The effect is exquisitely beautiful. This is a photographer's wonderland.
You can follow the single passageway in this canyon for about a half a mile. Take your camera and plenty of film!
OOp sorry I thought you were being droll, as is your wont, about me being, “The the little engine that could.”
If only I had gone back to the post you were replying to, then I would have know you were referring to the little engine in the container ship.
Oui, un petit moteur.
The *nevermind* was about my saying that ‘LookAtTheWomensFaces” didn’t run...
Who’s lucky bucky Chucky? He sounds quite ducky! Is he your new BF, LJ?
And btw, Lame, Barney Fife was my main man growing up. The beav just didn’t do it for me. :P
I am sure LJ presumed he might be related to you in some way........
And dang.......your male dream was Barney Fife?
You worry me..........
:-)
Lol! I noticed that all those clumsy people were of the male persuasion. Proves my theory that men exist for the single purpose of amusing us ladies! :)
Hi there!
Awww, Barney was cute in a doofy sorta way. Kinda reminds of a you, Lame. :)
Nutly!! Did you make it home okay last week? Sorry I had to make you walk. :P
*shrug* I needed the exercise...
I take it you’re feeling much better. Watching those wimmin do their pole dances on the street corners on your way home probably cured you, right?
No ma'am...
