HAPPY EASTER 2006
This will be the longest Easter EVER for me :) When you add up all the time changes it will last 37 hours! We leave this morning (already Easter here) for Toronto. When we arrive in Toronto it will still be Easter :)
What an amazing trip it has been. Zurich, Kyoto, Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, and all the small towns and villages we passed through. I have seen a lot in a short amount of time. I have also learned more about China than I could have from reading any given book. It certainly helps me gain some perspective about how the people are living in a Communist Country. China has much to change but in time I believe they take care of some of the problems that the West complains about.
It is on to Toronto now. Our plane leaves around noon today and we will arrive in Toronto 15 hours later. It will be 3 p.m. on the clock when we land. So 15 hours in the air but only 3 hours or so on the clock!

OUR 6 A.M. DOUBLE RAINBOW!!!!!
MORNING DOUBLE RAINBOW
So anyhoo that was a GREAT way to wake up nice and early. Everything had a nice orange hue to it. That is actually what woke me up. It didn't take me long to go outside.
Joey and I got lots of yard work done yesterday. I guess I will try to finish it up today. Put down a lot of mulch. :) Still need another 10 bags or so. I think we already put down about 50 bags. lol :) The weather was BEAUTIFUL yesterday. A lot of sunshine and nice SPRING temperatures. The storms held off until late evening and then the worst of the weather stayed to our north and northwest.
Looks like some heavy thunderstorms today across the region and tomorrow as well. Could be some isolated severe weather.
So busy busy around here.

Egyptian Resort Reeling From Terrorist Bombings
The Egyptian resort town of Dahab is still reeling from the triple bombings that killed at least 23 people late Monday. Some of the dead are reported to be foreign tourists, including a German child and a Russian. As in previous terrorist attacks, most of the victims are Egyptian.
The people of Dahab took to the streets Tuesday to protest the terrorist attacks that literally left pools of blood in those same streets the night before, when three bomb explosions rocked the tiny resort town.
The protest started spontaneously, with a group of young men, and then grew to include townspeople of all ages. They carried signs hand-painted on bedsheets to match their chants - "No more blood, no more terror," and "There is no God but God".
Dahab is usually a sleepy beach town, frequented by recreational scuba divers who come for the world-famous Red Sea coral reefs.
The gentle waves roll onto the beach as a different group of scuba divers slowly walk ashore. They have had the grim task of recovering body parts, some of which were blown into the water when one of the three bombs exploded late Monday.
In the aftermath of the bombing, journalists and police officers are crowding the pockmarked streets alongside the tourists and the town's largely Bedouin residents.
