Nothing Short Of A Miracle

Out of the the rubble of Haiti comes this great story I wanted to share this video I watched discovering a women under what used to be a bank 6 days after the Haiti earthquake. Click on the photo to view video.

Haiti Earthquake

I woke up this morning in Kuwait City to the  following  front page photo shown below.  This photo really shows what they are up against. Basically, they are going to be forced to bulldoze away their prior life and rebuild a new one. Many of the dead will never be identified, just buried in mass graves with the rest of the rubble. Being outside the USA, newspapers tend to publish photos that would never be seen in a US newspaper. When you see this type of photo you really understand how much the people of  Haiti need help from everyone throughout the world.

Why post such a horrific photo as this you might ask? A day after the earthquake occurred, a photographer stood in the road staring at the dead bodies alongside the roadway. A Haitian man walked up to him and asked if he was going to take a photo of dead bodies. The photographer replied saying no no, this is just to horrible, too sad for people to see. The man then told the photographer, please, please sir take this photo and showed the world what is happening here in Haiti.

The people of Haiti are faced with the largest earthquake in Haiti in over 200 years. Their government is non-existent, and their lives have been destroyed. They have lost everything, families, shelter and food…..

A visit to the tallest building on earth!

UK Vacation Photos

After 2 weeks touring the UK we have accumulated quite a collection of photos. Some quite good others, well……

You be the judge, check out our UK Vacation Photo Album

Scotland, Home Of The Brave And Winding Up Our Trip!

We stayed in Edinburgh, with the Edinburgh Castle in clear view. We had not even checked into our hotel and I had already purchased a new formal kilt outfit. Our first full day was spent touring Edinburgh Castle and checking out the shops on the Royal Mile. On day 2 we jumped on the train and traveled north through the snowy highlands to explore Inverness. Day 3 we jumped on the train and traveled to Stirling to see the city and tour Stirling Castle. We also had time, once we returned to Edinburgh, to enjoy a proper High Tea at the Sheraton Hotel. Very Nice!

Bear and Robin

Yeah, all that for just us……

Before…..

After!  (Oh, we had 2 pots of tea each, as well)

Then next day, we traveled back to London. That night,  at 1:34am the hotel alarm system awoke us and we grabbed our passports and exited the building out into the first snowfall of the season. Robin made a nice little snowman while we waited for the fire company to inspect the hotel. Thankfully, it was a false alarm.

The London Fire Brigade and Robin’s Snowman!

We spent the next day seeing some of the sites that we had not had a chance to see before we left for York. These sites included Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral, Victoria Station, Buckingham Palace, Saint Paul’s Cathedral and of course another visit to Harrods!

That night we were informed that our return flight to the states was cancelled due to a big east coast snowstorm…..

Here are the photos!
