I went out there when I first moved to the West Coast. Your blog sums the place up well, and for me, this photo (below) perfectly sums up Alcatraz's isolation.

When Abraham Lincoln wanted to take a night off from his burdens after the Civil War was over, this man with deceased children, a troubled wife, and a cabinet of rivals, had to invite 14 people before he found someone who'd go to the theater with him.

The famous Cyclorama painting at Gettysburg Visitors Center is kinda kitschy, but the multimedia museum w/in GVC is profoundly moving.

Museums, guides, commercial attractions -- over the past 48 hours I've heard the Gettysburg Address at least ten times. And that is not too much.

Here in Gettysburg, I did a double-take when I saw General Grant in the coffee shop. Then, last night, at the haunted Dobbin House, dinner with Lincoln impersonator Jim Getty. Jeez, he's convincing. Do you think that maybe, just maybe...

Fancy spending a week on a tropical beach all-expenses paid?

Ever had a dream about being part of a tribe and living the tribal life?

Interested in sustainable development technologies?

Wouldn't mind participating in the following activities: sunbathing, building, swimming, cooking, canoeing upriver, trekking, fishing, beach football, skill sharing, teaching, drumming, bonfires, and eating great seafood?

Have an urge to be the first to discover a new destination?

Want to make a difference in a country looking to change its image?
