DAY 2 FEB 7 LONG RIDE FROM FLORIDA.... FIRST STOP BEIJING

Eat, Pray and Love?  Nah, Buddha Bubs and I celebrate our 36th year of wedded bliss this year- more like Eat, Fight it Out and Pray You Don't Kill Each Other.  Perhaps we should do another renewal of Vows?  The last time we RENEWED was for our 30th- at Kasansky Cathedral in St. Petersburg Russia.  Any and all suggestions for a venue over here are welcome.  Who's Sari now?  Can you see Bocahita and Bubs on a mountain with some goats watching us while we renew?  A red dot on Boca's forehead?  Ahh, remembering that day in 1976.....

Looking forward to the people we meet along the way, a bit of self-discovery, the power of prayer, getting closer to my inner peace (it's got to be there!) and finally seeing "Freak Street" (Nepal)- missed it in my hippie days, henna-ing something, REAL Indian food,  seeing what Bubs is going to do with those 2 "trekking" sticks he dragged along that he bought 5 trips ago and hasn't used...yet.  Of course he had to buy yet another pair of hiking boots.  Right Bubs- you keep wearing them out in Boca.  He only made 15 trips this week to the CVS to prepare for this venture.  As you know either he is a drugstore junky or has a girlfriend that works there.   The last purchase included a back brace (just in case) and 12 packages of stuff for his corns and bunions.  It's not easy being Buddha Bubba....

Remember the last visit to China- Blog Free for Boca-as in not allowing my blog to float around their airwaves- no sense of humor.  So not sure when you will get this...me guesses they have the same rules in Tibet....

11:00 PM ARRIVAL, CUSTOMS FUN AND TO BED!
