And he spent time in Cellardyke where I lived and based Robinson Crusoe on a local figure. I had no idea about his South Sea adventures.

I'd tell you the number of years, but I've run out of digits. Off for the big anniversary dinner.

They have a malady in the islands called Polynesian paralysis. People come from the fast paced anxiety world. Their mind and bodies slow to fit in with the relaxed pace. It is a wonderful feeling. I am already lazy I probably wouldn’t be able to write more than a sentence a day. I like my office here. Just wish it was clean.<br /> Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09054306874904898496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-39021611833501932212013-10-30T11:09:33.976-07:002013-10-30T11:09:33.976-07:00Very cool - love the pics!
