I'm a giant of an American person(is there any other kind?) I hate tight spaces full of people and I know I will have to deal with these issues as I become more involved in my pursuits. I remember teaching a class of Japanese students. They are like 4 or 5 feet. Not me. I towered over them. Sometimes my knees don't fit in the spaces because my legs are so long. Although I have since met taller people than myself! Anyhow, the birds and their experiences make it all memorable:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-37142701117414793282016-04-12T19:33:58.752-07:002016-04-12T19:33:58.752-07:00Yes:) Somewhere in that chaos, there is peace:) ...Yes:) Somewhere in that chaos, there is peace:) But not like in Minnesota.

LA sounds as attractive to me as New York. It's inexplicable, to me, why so many Brits want to go to New York for a weekend (or more). I'd pay the cost of such a trip just to avoid having to go!<br /><br />I can certainly see your reasons for going, however - those various Cormorants are wonderful, particularly the Pelagic.<br /><br />Best wishes to you both - - - RichardRichard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-80461273763185271802016-04-11T07:58:36.383-07:002016-04-11T07:58:36.383-07:00I certainly could never live there.
