✈️ When you read the news about a plane that crashed 3 days ago... and you happen to have traveled with your family in that same plane just 6 days before. Gives you the shivers.

Very soon we head south to Patagonia. Been looking for software to record our TravelLog. I use 11ty for my sites but it's not for posting from mobiles. WordPress overly complex. Mastodon ... don't want to fill timeline with every post. Looked at micro.blog but settled on HTMLy which is self hosted, intuitive & simple.

More than 5,600 flights were delayed across the U.S. Monday, with absences surging ahead of air traffic controllers missing their first paycheck Tuesday due to the government shutdown. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/28/world/society/flight-delays-shutdown-day-27/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #society #travel #airports #airlines

i said fck luxury & expense & just rode trains from Istanbul to London
regular ol trains, did get some sleepers ..they are pretty nice i thought
this was back in 2012 or so but i'm sure the trains are still great
it didn't cost us much, under $1000.
we also took some breaks... a couple days at the start in Istanbul, nights in Bucharest, Budapest, Paris, & London.
whole thing took about 12 days
costliest part was Paris to London Eurostar
 
      
  
                            
                        
                         
      
  
                            
                        
                         
      
  
                            
                        
                         
      
  
                            
                        
                         
      
  
                            
                        
                         
      
  
                            
                        
                         
      
  
                            
                        
                         
      
  
                            
                        
                         
      
  
                            
                        
                         
      
  
                            
                        
                        Trish is on social media telling me about some trip Ana Kendrick has been on. I'm only half listening until she tells me a 5 day trip on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is eighty thousand pounds.

I've just had a week in Shropshire. First time. What a bloody lovely county.
First on the menu for you, Ludlow, a beautiful and deeply historical town. This small town is home to nearly 500 listed buildings, deemed historically and/or architecturally significant.

Today’s adventure: despite the chilly rain, we walked to the train station. We ran into a Chinese-Canadian tourist family, and they were charmed by Odin. I found out they were about to go into the worst “Asian” place I’ve ever tried (“authentically Dutch” is not a quality you crave in your ramen), warned them off, and told them about the nearby strip mall full of “for immigrants by immigrants” food. They basically adopted me. The mother added me on WeChat
in all seriousness, "good Dutch food" is like, the bread, milk, cheese, chocolate and yoghurt at the grocery store; solid fundamentals from high-quality ingredients. If you want to try something hot, fresh and "Dutch", there are friet (French fries), bitterballen (fried... stew?) and poffertjes (pancakes), which you'll note all sound quite unhealthy. Dutch ice cream from Dutch milk is great. Other than that... eat at overtly non-"Dutch" places while visiting the Netherlands. There are a lot of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean places.
Oh, I forgot about fish because I don't care for it. If you like fish, there are a lot of street vendors in busy spots. "Meeuwenoverlast" = "seagulls will relentlessly pursue you"

I went to a fossil collecting site I hadn't been to in 48 years. The last time I was here was in 1977, when I was 19, with a geology field trip. We were on our way to the Grand Canyon. This is the cephalon, the head part, of one of the earliest trilobites. The rock was laid down in a shallow sea 550 million years ago. Today, the Latham Shale Formation is found in the Marble Mountains on old Route 66 in California.
