Meetings in Denver

Denver really is a pretty city, with a great downtown area. Sasha is at her conference during the day, so I'm exploring the city by myself, but we also spent time together in between things.

This afternoon I met Anna Chase and Dennis for coffee, which was fun. I've been reading Dennis' blog for years, and it was nice to meet in real life.

There is snow predicted both here and in North Carolina, that may make our flight home quite interesting. We'll see.

And oh, for lunch I got us two sandwiches from Dubbel Dutch (again). Very healthy, a broodje gezond. Dubbel Dutch is a nice store; I enjoyed meeting Eef, the owner.

Dutch-Australian family looking for housing for a week in Miami, FL

Dear Reader.

My name is Ciska Verhage.
We are a Dutch/Australian family of four, Michael 49, Ciska 49, Jesse 14 and Sammy 12.
Since September 2008 we have been cycling from Los Angeles, USA down to South America.
It is an uplifting story about a family living life a bit differently.
Currently we are in Colombia.

On March 2nd we will fly from Bogota to Miami where we hope to stay for one week.
On the 9th of March we fly to Greece and plan to cycle Turkey, Middle East, Egypt, Sudan and onwards.
Is there a chance that the Dutch community is able to help and support us.
I/we know it is a lot to ask to put up a family of four.
We are looking for a place to sleep.
Just a room/space/garage/garden anything is welcome.
In return we can share some great stories about our adventures/travels with the Dutch community and school.
We have no hesitation in sharing or paying for costs involved.
Check out our website, there is a lot of info about us.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Greeting from San Agustin, Colombia
Ciska and family.

Social in Elephant and Castle

Elephant & Castle!
- Looking for a more cental location to make it easier for people to attend from points South.
- Moving to 8:00 P.M. because the staff at E&C said it would be quieter then.
