Tomorrow Rita and I head off on a 26 day trip to Scandinavia. Will make every effort to report on the places we go and to include photos as best we can. David

Hello dear friends, This is a new blog site for us, so we're just trying it out. In June, we're going on a 3 week trip to Scandinavia so I wanted to be sure this is an easy site to use.

Came home today after a terrific 3 days at Two Bunch Palms. Our analysis: the accommodations were excellent - rooms appear to have been recently renovated, food quite good, daily breakfast included, staff friendly, Yoga, meditation and the like included at no additional charge. Mineral pools quite comfortable with no sulfur smell. Downside - pretty expensive; extras like massages, mud baths, etc. quite expensive; fair amount of walking depending on your room'...

The morning's first activity was a Yoga class with about 25 women and just 3 men (one of whom quit after 20 minutes) at a huge hall called the Celestial Dome. Anyway, I did the postures as best I could hoping that no one was paying any attention to me. Next we went to breakfast; great food here!  We then headed off to the Cabot Pueblo Museum a couple of miles away. This was a place in which lived a guy by the name of Cabot Yerxa starting in 1913. His parent...

Out of bed at 7:45 AM to participate in something called Qigong, a kind of meditative Chinese motion exercise, for about one hour. Following breakfast, out to the many different mineral pools at varying temperatures; very soothing and relaxing. Then we sat and read our books for a while. Later, drove into towards town to pick up lunch provisions. Back to the pools in the afternoon, then drove into town for a very pleasant Italian dinner at Restaurant Capri.
