|
Dear everyone,
I will be travelling from Nairobi, Kenya to Cape Town, South Africa soon. I leave on December 3rd and will return on Februari 2nd.
I started a blog at oscarvanvliet dot blogspot dot com, in case anyone feels maschistic enough to watch my vacation tales and photos from a cold and wet northern hemisphere.
Needless to say, I will not be paying much attention to Trinity in the mean time. I do wish all of you a merry Xmas and happy new year in advance  .
Best wishes,
Oscar

Best wishes to you on your trip, and merry Christmas and happy New Year in advance to you, too
(:sigh: this seems to be the year for the world to go to Africa, but not for me  )

Funny, I have never been to Lousiana or Asia .
Happy to know you liked the stories. Lots of pictures with last week's set too.
Best wishes,
Oscar

I don't think most people would count my Asian travel as Asia (they think of Asia as India or China or Japan), but the Levant is indeed part of Asia 
I had always wondered what Victoria Falls looked like, and it occurred to me later that I'm sure I could have just poked around online for pictures, or grabbed a book, but as it turns out, the first time I saw Victoria Falls was in Oscar's pictures

Learning....
Levant - part of Asia Minor and/or Near East so I guess the does indeed count.
(says Wikipedia: "Categories: Extinct languages of Asia | Lists of extinct languages")
Guess I'll have to have a look at Oscar's log. Shame on me for not doing so earlier.

Oscar,
Just finished your ... Travel Log. Very interesting and very enjoyable. Thank you very much for sharing.
I wish that I had taken such adventures when I was (much ) younger.
I think it's true that the world is getting smaller every year and we are becoming a global community. I know that I have learned so much just by being on this fora. Thanks to all my new found NeoOffice friends!
