So, in my rambling way of going around England, I have decided what not to do but will maximize my funds and take my return ticket to Felixstowe, then across the bay to Harwich and then board a ferry to Amsterdam. I really have no desire to see Ireland or Scotland so I shall go…
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.

When we arrived in Rotterdam, a helicopter, while we were underway brought aboard the ship’s pilot, via lowering them from a cable; the kind of stuff you see on television. 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…
