Going to Disney World I wrote this in one of the reports I emailed live during the 2004 solo trip. Many years later, a bitter film m at also entertaining, about the world that is next to that from the parks-a dream called Florida. I had to think hard about what to see at Disney…

In particular I was between Washington and Philadelphia, which I didn’t like too much, perhaps partly because I wasn’t well. Injured, or rather lame to be precise. In Washington,…

Videos of pelicans, fishing, tending their young and flying-a sight to behold. Such close sightings of them were the highlight of my trip to Senegal.
