Jan Welcome Back! At least back to where you started...

Courtney it is hard to think of a town so close to the ocean as insignificant. I would love to live there!!

fitzgeraldo7 But the sound machine can't send a tsunami wave either, I guess.

fitzgeraldo7 But the fog was lifted and so the bar - I fought my way thru to the ocean.

Courtney Wow, I bet that sounds better then my sound machine!!

fitzgeraldo7 Like it happens quite frequently so at sea? Vessel with crew. Never heard that it happened on shore though. The question is, would I mind? I don't think so. On the other hand that dissolving process you describe will happen to all of us - sooner or later, only the worms will remember. - But if the truck wouldn't disappear at the same time that would initiate a searchparty and all that hassle

Tarek As every journey comes to its own, dedicated point of culmination, you are now approaching the "heart of darkness". "Trees, trees, millions of trees, massive, immense, running up high; and at their foot, hugging the bank against the stream, crept the little begrimed steamboat, like a sluggish beetle crawling on the floor of a lofty portico. It made you feel very small, very lost, and yet it was not altogether depressing, that feeling. After all, if you were small, the grimy beetle crawled on -- which was just what you wanted it to do. Where the pilgrims imagined it crawled to I don't know. To some place where they expected to get something. I bet! For me it crawled towards Kurtz -- exclusively; but when the steam-pipes started leaking we crawled very slow. The reaches opened before us and closed behind, as if the forest had stepped leisurely across the water to bar the way for our return. We penetrated deeper and deeper into the heart of darkness. It was very quiet there."

Tarek At some point the vast landscape will swallow you. Or in other words: the border between your now disproportional small island of orderly molecules and the surrounding chaotic matter can no longer withstand. Some birds, however, will remember you for the remainder of their lifetime.

fitzgeraldo7 Believe it or not, they still exit those gauchos. And they have this aura of both, pride and tristesse.

fitzgeraldo7 Oh man, die Autokorrektur nervt manchmal: nicht Schindler, sondern sicher...

fitzgeraldo7 http://www.offexploring.com/fitzgeraldo7 sollte gehen, allerdings muss man neuerdings noch so nen dämliche Pseudo Verifizierung machen. Freut mich dass du's trotzdem geschafft hast.

fitzgeraldo7 Schindler, aber das Ohrenleiden bleibt.
