I had more adventures, trips, fun things I did 20 years ago. The problem with human memory is that it doesn't retain all of the experience but can recall few things (at least in my case). Blogging allows me to pen down things I'd like to remember. If only I could recall completely, the adventure I had in the jungles of Honduras in my quest to visit the ancient Mayan City of Copan..armed with a still film camera whose fading prints still exist. Or the time spent in Guatemala, or in the Caribbean island nation of Granada where I walked around a crater lake treading a pathway made entirely of nutmeg shells..wish there was blogging back then. Friends have asked me to take some time off and recall those stories, scan those pictures and blog. One day I will, don't know when! Hopefully when my memory (and sanity) hasn't completely left me!Capt.

There were blogs in the past about flying the North Atlantic that went into 4 parts, I just couldn't finish it in less than that, with all those pictures and personal experiences that I did not want to forget. Then there was a series on Cambodia in 2006 that also went to 2 parts with loads of pictures since I traveled to more Angkor and pre Angkor sites than most people do. For those just interested in Angkor Wat/Angkor Thom area, I wrote another blog in 2009 during my last visit there and posted videos. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to express your comment. Will surely visit yours as well. Cheers.Capt.

But to be in the same environment, as you said, was enough. I loved watching that monitor walk like he owned the place! Just before that he took a royal swim from one end of the pool to the other. The monkeys were fun and useful because I saw for the first time in reality, how they sense danger and give those short barks to warn the deer. The last paragraph, I thought, was a bit preachy and then others told me that its a good message for the general audience. Thanks for bearing with me, I took so long to post this!Capt.

I would surely love to pack my bag right away !<br /><br />Though you dint actually catch a glimpse of the magnificent creature, I know how thrilling it must have been just to "sense" his presence nearby. I know that feeling from a visit to Nagarhole, a very long time ago when it was still unspoilt.<br /><br />That was fancy diet for a monkey - flowers ! :-)<br />I really liked the Monitor's <br />swagger in the videoclip!<br /><br />The concluding paragraph would make an excellent lesson for any Moral Science class in schools today. Let us hope our children take more care than we did, of Nature and the other inheritors of this world.YOSEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15364914380063474591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19958024.post-11466351620692350112010-09-04T17:40:58.526-07:002010-09-04T17:40:58.526-07:00Thanks Swaram!
