I awoke and had my hostel breakfast of grapefruit, potatoes, beans, and toast with orange juice. Then I walked to town to find out what was there and then went down to the heaths. It is very similar to the old growth forests that I found in the Mt. St. Helen‘s area. Then I walked…
I have lightened my load a bit and it has eased my walking. I will try to find Edwina but it is proving fruitless. https://sites.google.com/site/archetypealgorithm/ https://archetypealgorithm.earth/
Today I talked with Stephanie, from Italy originally. She and I had a nice talk on the train from Felixstowe to London and she said that she was happy to know that there were some people who were trying to follow a higher calling. Then there was Stephen, from France, who said Americans, most Americans,…
We will be leaving the English Channel this P.M. and getting into the North Sea. I am glad that I got my cap, just today when departing; it was a noticeable difference between hot and cold. https://sites.google.com/site/archetypealgorithm/
Yesterday we went to the duty-free shop just outside the port. I found a much-needed hat to keep my head warm, other than that, I might just take it easy today. We left Rotterdam port five hours behind the Atlas schedule. I must say that I like the Danish. They seem to take frequent breaks…

I had never been, before, that close to a flying helicopter, feeling the wind caused by the whipping rotor as it hung slightly overhead. Your…
We are back under sail from Le Havre. It was a wonderful town on a quiet Sunday afternoon. They were having a feast; I think it relates to a festival, that the town has once a year. I walked until I reached the beach, then I just walked around some more, through the houses and…
En François is off to the starboard. The seas are calm this morning but the air is still cooler than yesterday. I am looking forward to getting off the ship even if to just walk around the French countryside. I also must say that I am feeling good this morning. I have gotten some fresh…
I had a light lunch today in case the seas continue to grow and seasickness sets in. I just got back from a walk to the bow. The whole vessel is creaking and moaning as it takes these large rolling waves. I will also say that there is something very intimidating about a thirty-five-foot wall…
We have moved into the Bay of Biscay and it has begun to rain with the waves increasing in size. Even the stern of the ship is heaving up and down in the water.
