The Train to Dharamshala, the Magic of the Taj Mahal
It was important to stay awake on the overcrowded night train to Dharamshala. If I missed my stop I would end up north at the Pakistani border, where there are enough problems without a confused hack stumbling about. I was scheduled to arrive in a small town called Chakkebank at 3am, which, translated into Indian time, meant anywhere between last Wednesday and the coming of the messiah. Due to a festival, the train was steaming with people, but my sticky-vinyl top bunk afforded some distance from the disjointed beggars, the transsexuals who bring luck for a buck, and the tea guy who somehow managed to get through the throng every ten minutes screaming "Chaaiiiii!!" without inflicting third degree burns with his thermal. I dozed off and awoke to discover two guys had scaled my upper bunk and somehow positioned themselves between my open-scissor legs. When a third tried to join them, I put my foot down. Literally, on his head. I made my station, waited two hours for the bumpy dawn bus into the mountains, and finally arrived in Dharamshala, home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government-in-exile. Like cigarettes, I'm convinced this journey took years off my life.
It felt like I had arrived in another country, and in a sense I had. A traveller today can experience more Tibetan culture in Dharamshala than they can in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. Along with Tibetan refugees, thousands arrive monthly from all over the world to study Buddhism, get involved in various Tibetan movements, catch a glimpse of the Dalai Lama when he is in town, or just enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the surrounding mountains. The cold, wet narrow streets were lined with restaurants, hotels, clothing stalls, internet cafes, offices of Tibetan institutions, and too many westerners wrapped in blankets as opposed to their usual Gore-Tex jackets.
"It's not so much a question of 'Free Tibet', so much as 'Save Tibet'," explains Tenzin from the Central Tibetan Authority. The Dalai Lama was in town and I was trying to arrange a camera permit, in the process learning something about Tibet's current status. Decades of Chinese investment and migration has fundamentally changed the face of Tibet, so the Tibetans are now focused on preserving their identity as opposed to regaining independence. Like other world hotspots, religious and political boundaries are blurred in the conflict, and at the centre meditates the Dalai Lama himself – the political and religious head of a nation. His non-violent "Middle Way" solution continues to make Tibet a popular Western cause. Whatever happens, I am told it is all karma.
I did manage to see the Dalai Lama, and sat in on a Buddhist class. I walked the lovely Lingkhor path around the temple, spun the colorful mani wheels, chanted mantras, ate traditional dumpling-like momos, and lost my breath at sunset, staring out at the mountains and valley from the peaceful confines of the Tsuglagkhang temple complex. In lower Dharamshala, the Indian community gathered for the annual Dusehra festival, in which giant effigies were blown up to rid the year of evil. Huge fireworks lit up the snowy peaks, as crowds of happy Indians shook my hand and wanted me in their photographs. I could have soaked up this atmosphere for weeks, but my time in India was just about up. There was just one more thing needed to complete my Indian experience, and fortunately, it did not involve dysentery.
The Taj Mahal is the world's most breathtaking and romantic mausoleum, built in 17th century to honor a sultan's second wife, who died at childbirth. It is located in Agra, about three-sorry-four-oops-five hours by train from Delhi, and is India's busiest tourist destination. It took me three hours just to arrange my return ticket, but by now I had learnt the most crucial lesson for successful travelling in India. Never be in a hurry to get anywhere! Certainly I wasn't in a hurry to get back to my roach "hotel" - a prison cell with a crusty Hello Kitty bedsheet, creating a colorful, if disturbing touch. So off I went to the Taj, where tourists are happily fleeced and touts, taxi drivers and beggars jostle for pole position. When I arrived in India for my month of travel, I dreaded this scenario. Now my skin is hardened, my wits sharpened, and it's just paneer for the course.
Now this is how one executes a photo bomb.
After dealing with massive lines, corrupt guards, confiscated cameras and a hefty foreign tourist entry fee, I finally got into the complex. The late afternoon sun glittered across the white marble of the Taj Mahal, silently reflecting in the ponds and floating like a fairytale palace. Was the day's journey not a symbol of travelling in India itself? The frustration, the stress, the scams, the sweat, and finally, the magic that somehow made it all worthwhile. The Taj Mahal is truly as magical as it looks in the photos.
Back in Delhi after another completely eventful train journey (there's no other kind in India), I packed my bags and headed for the airport. India, this world within a world within a world, had won me over. I remember what a traveller told me when I first arrived. "No matter what you've read, seen or heard about India, wherever you go, it is nothing at all like what you expect."
The World's Best Train Journeys
Modern travellers have developed an insatiable thirst for jet fuel, much to the detriment of previous modes of travel: ships and trains. While ships have evolved into cruising palaces, trains have far more limitations when it comes to the size of their carriages. Yet as a means to discover a new destination in a comfortable, relaxing pace, I'm a sucker for an epic train journey. Sit back and watch the world pass you by as we track down the world's best train journeys.
The Blue Train
It's amazing how much comfort you can cram into a carriage rolling along a gauge just 3ft and 6 inches wide. South Africa's Blue Train is rightly regarded as perhaps the world's most luxurious rail journey. Butler service, en-suite soundproofed compartments (with gold tinted windows), double beds with down duvets, marble-tiled bathrooms (many with full bath tubs), panoramic observation lounges, gourmet meals – no wonder its known as a moving five star hotel. There are two trains in operation - one catering to 74 guests in 37 suites, the other for 58 guests in 29 suites – operating on the main scheduled route from the administrative capital of Pretoria to Cape Town. Travelling at 90 km/hr, enjoy 27 pampered hours and spectacular scenery until you reach your final station. The Blue Train also operates two other routes: to Durban, and to the malaria-free Pilansberg National Park.
Maharajas Express
Not to be outdone, India's Maharajas Express treats its 88 passengers like royalty, literally in the case of the presidential suite, which spans a whole carriage. Recalling an era where India's grand Maharajas built their own lines to shepherd them in lavish carriages, the Express combines old world luxury with modern conveniences like a business centre, spa and gym. It offers five itineraries, ranging from the seven night Heritage of India, Indian Splendor and Indian Panorama to the three night Treasures and Gems of India. All visit destinations like Jaipur, Ranthambore and Agra, to see the Taj Mahal. My own rail journeys in India (in packed, sticky 2nd Class Sleepers) were memorable, but not for the right reasons. If you're willing to pay, oh, several thousand times more for a ticket, why not treat yourself like a king?
We live in a large country, but when I took the 4-night, 3-day VIA Rail Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto, I could finally see just how large we're talking about. Travelling 4466km through the Rockies and Prairies, expect to roll through four time zones, not seeing any signs of civilization for hours. The train's weekly configuration changes depending on demand, but always has panoramic and double-story panoramic dome cars, excellent meals, clean bathrooms, fun activities and friendly staff. Recalling the 1950's glory years, the stainless steel carriages have the pastels and feel of another era, especially the rear Park Car, with its distinctive dome and view of the tracks you leave behind. Currently undergoing refurbishments as part of VIA Rail's almost $1 billion investment, The Canadian is rightly a national treasure, popular with both locals and international visitors.
The Venice Simplon Orient Express / Eastern and Oriental Express
Although these are two separate train journeys exploring two different continents, I've put them together because the same company owns them, and once you hear the word "Orient", it's easy to get confused. More so since there was an actual train known as the Orient Express, running between Strasbourg and Vienna, but that ceased operation in 2009. The Venice-Simplon is a luxury train operating from London to Venice, in vintage carriages dating back to the 1920's and 1930's. Restored to their former glory, cabin suites are heavy on the polished wood, with washbasins, banquette sofas and ever-attentive stewards. Swap out Europe for lush jungles and exotic temples, and hop aboard the more modern The Eastern and Oriental Express, which journeys between Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Laos. With its in-suite bathrooms and airy teak observation cars, itineraries range from 2 to 6 nights, offering various opportunities for temple visits and other excursions.
With its vast distances and sparse population, Australia is tailor made for an epic train journey. The Ghan, named after the late 19th century Afghan cameleers that created the route, traverses almost 3000 kilometres north to south and vice-versa from Adelaide through Alice Springs to Darwin. The 3 day/2 night crossing caters to a range of budgets, from the twin Red Service Sleeper Cabins with their compact lounge chairs (folding into sleeping berths), to the 25 en-suite Platinum Cabins, with in-cabin dining, attentive stewards and twin or double beds. Beginning with the ridges and plains of South Australia, the landscape transforms into the red earth and sweeping skies of the Central Australian outback. Day or multi-day excursions are on offer from Alice Springs, before continuing into the more tropical regions of Northern Australia. The train runs twice a week in each direction June to August, and once a week during the remainder of the year.
Qinghai–Tibet railway
China boasts the world's fastest passenger train, the CRH380A running from Shanghai to Nanjing and Hangzhou at an astonishing 480 km/hr. Think more rollercoaster and less leisurely train journey. For less of a blur but all the thrills, consider the Qinghai-Tibet, an engineering marvel that connects the city of Xining to Lhasa, Tibet. It's the first railway to navigate the mountains and treacherous terrain that encompasses Tibet. Once you cross the Tanggula Pass at 5072 metres above sea level, you're officially on the world's highest railway, rolling through the world's highest tunnel, and stopping at the world's highest railway station. With stunning views across the mountains and permafrost, the journey is literally breathtaking. At this altitude, breathing can become an issue, but the cold-resistant carriages were built for such challenging environments, and carry oxygen supplies on board for each passenger, along with an onboard doctor.
The Rocky Mountaineer
Repeatedly named as one of the world's great train journeys by everyone from National Geographic to Conde Nast Traveler, The Rocky Mountaineer belongs to North America's largest private rail service, running 1000 km through some of the world's best scenery. Unlike VIA's Canadian, which continues onto Toronto, the Rocky Mountaineer is designed to showcase the glorious Rockies in all their glory, with guests seated in two-level glass-domed panoramic dome cars, while interpreters point out wildlife and sites of interest. Guests spend the night in the company's hotel in Kamloops before continuing their journey from Banff/Jasper to Vancouver, or vice versa. Along with the outstanding meals, let the cocktails flow!
The Trans-Siberia / Trans Mongolian Railway
When creating this list, I erred on this side of luxury, only because I've spent many days travelling on some of the world's more challenging train rides, and while the memories are precious, I wouldn't necessarily wish them on my readers. Trains are great, but not when they're scary, like the time I peed at gunpoint on the Russian-Mongolian border. It took me three weeks to journey from Beijing to St Petersburg on two of the world's most legendary rail networks. Along the way I raced horses in Mongolia, swam in the world's deepest lake, and was almost tasered by some corrupt cops. Rudimentary carriages were OK, even if the attendants were smuggling starched clothing in our pillows. Meals consisted of instant noodles, instant mash, and anything else we could whip up with graciously provided hot water. I grew to appreciate the sneer of the attendants, and the taste of vodka, which was cheap and plentiful. An incredible adventure, definitely. But not for everyone.
The Chihuahua al Pacifico Railroad, more affectionately known as El ChePe, carries locals and tourists over 400 miles through the Sierra Madre mountains and the magnificent Copper Canyon. Departing Los Mochis in the morning and arriving in Chihuahua late in the evening, the train crosses 36 bridges (one at over 1000 feet) and 87 tunnels. It stops at 13 stations along the way, allowing travellers to hop on and off to explore the region. There are two classes to choose from, with the Primero Express offering a dining car as opposed to the Economico's snack bar, but it's the scenery that provides the tastiest fodder. Mexico's most scenic train chugs alongside stunning jungle, mountains, canyons waterfalls, and even high desert.
The Royal Scotsman
The Scottish Highlands are yours for the taking. By yours, I refer to the 36 guests pampered in absolute luxury aboard the Royal Scotsman. The train offers 2 to 7 night itineraries that take in the majestic Highlands, along with themed trips like the 4-night Classic Whisky Journey in conjunction with the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. Enjoy gourmet bliss in the mahogany-panelled dining car, and make sure to pack a kilt for alternating formal nights (if you forget, you can still hire one). Twin, Double and Single cabins are equipped with in-suite bathrooms, with the plush sofas in the observation car perfect to watch quaint villages and medieval castles pass you by.
Please come in. Mahalo for removing your shoes.
After many years running a behemoth of a blog called Modern Gonzo, I've decided to a: publish a book or eight, and b: make my stories more digestible, relevant, and deserving of your love.
Here you will find some of my adventures to over 100 countries, travel tips and advice, rantings, ravings, commentary, observations and ongoing adventures.

Soul-Shaking And Mind Opening Gospel Music: Ruth K.O. Is Known For Creating Musical Symphonies That Inspire Musicians From Far And Wide.
Christian Music News, Christian Music Releases
December 30, 2022 by artistpr
This consortium of music is known for inciting the unwavering and dutiful love for God into the hearts of listeners both through sound and image.
Kildare, Kildare, Ireland — October 16th, 2022- Ruth K.O. is a brilliant new up-and-coming artist who has used her extensive exposure to the world as a reason to make a difference in this world through her music. This mix of amazing tunes has helped produce a unique platform that celebrates faith in all its glory through emotionally deep lyrics and musically apt tunes. Ruth's core motivator in her musical mission is to ensure that she can inspire others in times of abject hopelessness and despair.
Ruth has a beautifully vibrant multicultural background and embodies a new sense of worldliness and flair in her music. Her mother, a Sierra Leonean, her father, a Ghanaian, and her husband, a Nigerian have all profusely contributed to her life in ways that have only enriched her heart and mind. The eclectic's travels from growing up in Greece to now living in Ireland show her propensity for change and openness to new surroundings. Perhaps, in all this diversity, a constant has only been her commitment to the musical message that she relays to her fans.
The singer's hope for life is her motivation to do what she does. She hopes her music will inspire people to draw closer to God, a loving entity who cares for us in ways that remain unfathomable. It is this goodwill that the artist hands out into the world in hopes to help mitigate the darkness that often clouds innocent minds. "Time To Shine" is a representation of this musical mastery.
Ruth's biggest motivators are her family members while her core inspiration is Joseph Obamwonyi and her celebrity inspiration is Lauren Daigle. The musical genius' motto in life is "No Excuses". The artist owns willfulness in understanding the challenges in life and their unwavering grit have helped her leave room for people to grow in ways that they have never done so before.
Stream the inspiring artist's music on YouTube, Spotify, and her musical website https://ruthkluvia.com/. Follow the artist's official social media page on Instagram for updates on newer music. For interviews, reviews, and/or collaborations reach out through this email ruthkluvia7@gmail.com.
Ruth K.O. is a Gospel Artist from a multicultural background with a passion for music. The inspiring musician has been singing in Gospel choirs all her life slowly building up the expertise to do her first solo. These choirs have helped the singer form mastery of lyrics and musical rhythms that have directly translated into creating exceptionally profound music. Undeniably modest, Ruth does not consider herself a great singer but simply says that it's what she loves to do. Even so, the positive response from audiences begs to differ from this humble proposal.
The singer has been writing music since her teenage years but many things got in the way of her dream to be a Gospel Artist, her husband and mother were major factors in her decision to go against the odds and make her way into music. Ruth is not in it for entertainment, rather her goal is to continue making music and live her dream of helping others realize their dreams. One day the artist hopes to be an inspiration to many and make a difference in her little way!

Graeme and Meena with Bagpipes
Graeme and Meena (on Graeme's left) with staff
Dr Graeme and his Nepali wife Meena came to Lalgadh in 2007 to help consolidate the medical services, and develop future services. Graeme was born in Australia but has worked in Nepal and Switzerland, and has homes in England and Switzerland.
Graeme worked in the WHO for many years, based in Switzerland, and so brings a new perspective to Lalgadh, as well as mostly irrepressible good humour, coffee, and an unusual taste in woodwind instruments.
Graeme has worked hard to improve medical standards at Lalgadh and has assisted in hands-on diagnosis and surgery on many occasions. Meena is a trained nurse and has assisted the development of the nursing team.

2011 finds Graeme and Meena still working at Lalgadh as they help establish expanded medical facilities that enable a slightly wider range of better quality medical services to be available. They have some wonderful friends in Switzerland and have been instrumental in raising significant funds towards the expansion at Lalgadh.
2016 and Graeme and Meena are well and still supporting the work at Lalgadh. Graeme has supported the further expansion of the in-patient services with a new general patient ward, a maternity and diagnostic unit, and a new children's ward. Lalgadh is developing new services to utilize this capacity, and thereby generate more revenue to support the leprosy work. Graeme and Meena were also heavily involved in raising funds from their connections, for the earthquake relief work in 2015 and 2016, and we were able to take relief supplies to remote villages that have suffered acutely due to the damage caused to property by the earthquake in April 2015. NLT distributed about 300 tonnes of relief supplies to needy families and communities.
Getting the supplies through
Graeme and Meena distributing relief aid in Sindhuli
In 2016, Graeme was made an 'Officer of the Order of Australia' and presented with a medal in recognition of his service to medicine and to the international community of Nepal.
In 2017, the outpatient services were expanded with the assistance of US Aid via an American Leprosy Missions proposal developed by Dr Hugh Cross, one of the pioneers of the work at Lalgadh during the 1990s. Dr Graeme as Medical Director, had to direct the staff in settling into the new facilities and developing the new disciplines that arose through this expansion, including a new prosthetics department.
In 2018, Dr Graeme was able to open the new children's ward that his fundraising enabled. This gave a nicer

environment for the children who sometimes need inpatient care at Lalgadh, particularly those who have regular struggles with impairment, ulceration, and reactions, such as Payan, Neelam, Santosh, Vibya and others. It has been decorated in a child-friendly way.
Despite some serious visa difficulties during 2019, Graeme has been able to continue into 2020 and 2021, and has assisted the medical team through the COVID crisis. Lalgadh has had a hard time of it through the pandemic, but has not had to face the issues that key hospitals in Kathmandu and elsewhere have faced with no capacity for further admissions of Covid patients and no oxygen etc. Lalgadh does not have ventilators or significant supplies of oxygen, and also has inpatients with very compromised immune systems due to leprosy, so it is not providing direct patient support for people with respiratory problems caused by Covid-19. The second wave of Covid-19 through April and May of 2021 brought further hardship to the area around Lalgadh and elsewhere, but we are grateful that Graeme and Meena and the staff at Lalgadh have come through safely so far, by God's grace. It has been a difficult time for Graeme and Meena as they have not been able to get away from Lalgadh to visit family or friends at home, but we all hope that things will improve soon.
Do please pray for Graeme and Meena.

Egyptian newspapers did not appear on the stands last week as a part of a national protest against the imprisoning of editors for "slandering the president".
A strike by 22 national dailies, the first of its kind for decades, came after the editors in chief of several major newspapers were handed one and two year prison sentences for insulting president Hosni Mubarak and his ruling National Democratic Party (NDP).
The jail sentences show that the promise made by Mubarak to halt imprisonment in publication cases as part of his "democratisation plan" is a lie.
The US has held up the Egyptian regime as a model to other countries in the region.
The newspaper editors were hauled in front of the court after they published articles raising questions about Mubarak's health. The prosecution alleged that by "spreading false rumours" the editors had caused some foreign investors to withdraw their money from the country.
Eissa has already been convicted for saying that Gamal Mubarak, the dictator's son and heir, is not fit to rule the country.
Another editor was charged with allegedly "misquoting a health official". Some journalists have had private actions brought against them for exposing the prosecution lawyers as being members of the NDP.
Adel Hammouda, the editor of Al-Fagr, was convicted for exposing corruption in the ruling circles and Abdel Halim Qandil of the weekly al-Karama was convicted of insulting the president.
The Egyptian regime is lashing out at the opposition newspapers following a wave of strikes and riots across the country.
Last December 27,000 workers at the largest textile mill kicked off a wave of strikes that spread across the country in what has become known as Egypt's "winter of discontent".
The party will be holding a conference to confirm Gamal Mubarak will succeed his father.
Organisers of the fourth Cairo Conference are calling for delegates to attend next year's conference in the Egyptain capital.
The next conference will take place in the Egyptian capital between 27-30 March 2008.

Northern Rail warns passengers could be left stranded this weekend after strike action is confirmed
Strike action has been confirmed for this Saturday, January 12.
Matthew Calderbank
Published: 15:54 Friday 11 January 2019
People could be left stranded miles from home this weekend after Northern Rail braces for further strike action.
Northern Rail has warned passengers that services will be significantly affected this weekend as the RMT union prepares to engage in its 24th consecutive weekend of strike action tomorrow (Saturday, January 12)..
The beleaguered rail operator has warned passengers to prepare in advance to avoid missing the last train home and being left stranded.
It has announced details of the reduced services it will operate ahead of the strike action this weekend.
The RMT strike will see Northern running approximately 700 services – but with very few services running after 5pm. Those Northern services that do run, and other operators' services, are expected to be extremely busy.
Northern has called on RMT to suspend its "damaging strike action" ahead of the impending shut down of the railways tomorrow evening,
David Brown, managing director at Northern, said: "More than 50 per cent of all rail journeys in the UK are made on driver-controlled trains and recently the Department for Transport and Transport for the North publicly confirmed that a second person – in addition to the driver – would be retained on Northern services.
"This second person will provide customer service, including meeting customer needs on accessibility, safety, security, ticketing and information.
"Therefore, there is no reason for the RMT to continue its disruptive and economically damaging strikes.
"But despite this, the RMT continues with its strike action."
Mr Brown added: "We expect all of our service on Saturdays in January to be extremely busy and are calling on our customers to plan their travel carefully for the coming weekend, check the new timetables well in advance, and make sure they do not rely on the last trains home."
RMT said its 44th day of strike action goes ahead on Northern tomorrow in defence of passenger safety and the role of train guard which Northern threatened to axe.
In addition, RMT has also announced its members will be striking on every Saturday in January.

RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "RMT Northern members will be striking again tomorrow in the long-running fight to put public safety before private profit as the company refuses to lift the axe from above the heads of their safety critical guards.
"It is frankly disgraceful that the German-owned parent company are deliberately prolonging the dispute so that they can milk the British tax-payer for a series of secretive subsidies and bailouts.
"RMT continues to make every effort to get serious and meaningful talks going with Northern but the company prefers to ignore the safety concerns of their staff and the public alike in a show of complete and utter contempt.
"RMT will not be party to the dilution of the safety culture on Northern Rail trains in a drive to prop up German owners Deutsche Bahn's profits – it is nothing short of a scandal that Northern passengers are paying some of the highest fares in Europe, travelling on unreliable and rammed out trains, to subsidise the domestic operations of the German parent company.
"That is why our members will be standing solid again tomorrow for the 44th day in support of a safe and accessible railway for all.
"We thank the public for their support and understanding throughout this dispute over rail safety and access and the union remains ready for genuine and serious talks."
Tomorrow's strike takes place as Northern Rail and RMT continue to disagree on a basis for a settlement to the dispute.

Not me in the picture and No, I'm not there – but I certainly wish I was.
After driving back roads from Arches to Colorado, I came to a small town called Marcos. I saw what looked like a cool little restaurant with outdoor seating. After leaving 100+ temperatures, the 83 degrees in Colorado was a welcome change. The restaurant was Millwood Junction and I had their Ruben with macaroni salad.
Yes it was as good as it looked. I also drank about 800 gallons of tea. I suppose maybe I was a little dehydrated. So I asked the waitress what I should see while I was here. Without hesitation she said that Mesa Verde was a must see. And it was only 8 miles up the road. Awesome. Finished lunch and headed that way. I had no idea what Mesa Verde was. Dumb tourist.
By the way, the park pass I bought for $80 more than paid for itself on this trip.
The only campground in the park is Morefield Campground. It had plenty of availability so I took site 56 in the Zuni loop at $31.44 a night. The sites are average and not very well maintained. The staff up at Knife Edge were very nice. Knife Edge is the camp store etc. they have a nice store, gasoline pumps, showers, laundry facilities and a little grill with wifi. I asked one of the staff there what she felt was the must see part of the park. She recommended the Balcony House tour, but said I would need to get a ticket as it is a Ranger guided tour. I'm not much on tours but she said that was the only way to see this particular place. Tickets were only $5 so I picked one up for the earliest tour the next day. I was not disappointed.
I got there early and waited for the tour. I knew we would get to see the ruins but I still didn't know we were going to be able to walk and climb through them. By the way, if you have a fear of heights or cramped places don't take this tour. There are several others that have much easier access.
This is the view from above Balcony House.
The ladder up from below.
This is the first room. Taking the first tour of the day assures that you are the only group there and provides a much better experience.
This is one of the "balcony's" that the house is named for. Still the original materials.
View of the next room through a window.
The next room we entered.
The floor was amazingly smooth and flat.
This is one of the reasons they built here. This is a cistern where water would collect because of the differences in rock structure.
Fire pit and vent. They would cover this area with a roof of poles and brush to provide shelter in the winter. This is called a Kiva.
Our ranger. Notice that there are no guard rails. Darwin approves.
Ladders up and back to the top. That's Bill and his family from Pennsylvania. He is a General Contractor on vacation. They were just an awesome family.
Ladder from the midway point. To get to that landing you had to crawl through an 18 inch opening for about 10 feet. Bill had to crawl through at an angle. I took a picture but it was so dark that it didn't turn out. Again, heights and small spaces. Take another tour if you don't like them.
Back up top. If you are in to history and ancient civilizations, I highly recommend Mesa Verde. And take the tour, you will not be disappointed.
Some more pictures of the area.
Up early (5:30 am) to beat the heat. I wanted to get inside the park and to Delicate Arch by 6:30 am. Ate a granola bar and drank plenty of water on the way there.
This is what part of the trail looks like on the hike up to Delicate Arch. The camera doesn't do the drop-off on the right justice. The trail is about 3 miles round trip, with of course the first part being very much an up hill slog.
Here is the crowd that beat me up to the arch. So much for originality, being the early bird and all that.
This is a view of the parking lot from about half way up the hike.
This cabin was part of a homestead from the early 1800's. This cabin was built in 1906.
Some of the original fencing still remains.
This is the entrance to Sandy Arch. It was surprisingly cool inside.
A narrow entrance, but the way it sits, there was a nice breeze the entire time.
Sandy Arch, aptly named. The kids in the photo were having a great time. There was a Ranger here who said I should go up above and take a look around. So I bouldered (sp) up a little higher to get a few shots of the area.
In case you are wondering, there is only a 10 second timer on my camera, so sometimes these shots can be challenging.
This is the area above Sandy Arch. Neat terrain and out of the sun.
There was a trail across the desert floor to Broken Arch, you can see it in the distance. Back out in the sun it was hot and I didn't see anyone on the trail, so why not, off I went.
I didn't see anyone coming or going, just the way I like it.
So when I finally made it to Broken Arch, I was the only one there. Sweet.
From the other side with the sun.
This guy was unafraid along the trail back. I tried to get a couple of lizards but they were too quick.
Lots of cactus along the way; this is where the reptiles were darting around but I couldn't get any of them.
I can't remember what this formation is called but I would call it precarious.
All in all, Arches NP is a must see if you are travelling to Utah. Of the places I visited, this was my favorite. Go early, drink lots of water and you won't be disappointed. Next stop: Colorado.
Took back roads from Brice to Moab Utah. The views along the way are awesome. These roads, like a lot of roads out west, wind their way through the middle of nowhere. The majority of which, are in open range country.
Now these cows really don't care.
Same cows, just further along.
Different cows, different road, closer to Moab.
This is the road in to Moab. As I said, lots of open country.
Here is the Colorado river that runs along Arches and Moab. It was 108 degrees in the shade here so sleeping in the back of the truck was out of the question. (Keep your comments to yourselves). So I stayed in a hotel, the Inca Inn. Drove around Moab to get my bearings, then went to a TexMex place to grab some chow.
Chips, salsa, guacamole, chilies and a local Moab brewery beer. The AC was going full blast but it was still warm inside the restaurant. After dinner I went back to take a shower and get ready for Arches in the morning.
This was a surprise; not really sure what to say, my mind strays down to the gutter and I'll leave it at that.
Just outside of Brice Canyon, down towards Zion is an area called Red Canyon. It is a real sleeper.
I passed this place with the intention of carrying on to Brice but I spotted a campground that looked like it had some space in it, so I turned aground to check it out.
This place is awesome. Very clean, spread out and simply beautiful. I took site 23 and set up camp. Sites here are $18 a night with no hookups. It was 4 pm when I got here so I fixed a quick dinner – sausage dogs, chip and water – and went on a hike.
The trail leaves from the camp ground and is about a mile up to a ridge line.
This is at the split about 3/4 of the way to the top. There is another trail that splits off from here that takes you further into the canyon.
I wanted to go up to the ridge so I stayed on Buck Horn Trail.
That area up there is the destination.
These yellow wild flowers were also prevalent along the way. Life making its way in the desert.
Made it. There is a birds nest on top of the spire, I couldn't get an angle on it but you could sure hear them when I got close. You can also see it was overcast up here, so the heat wasn't bad at all. They say that it rains a lot up in this area but the rain doesn't reach the ground, unfortunately the lightning does and that's how wildfires start. The rain doesn't have an opportunity to dampen the fire.
A so so attempt at a panoramic shot.
Here are some cool colors from one of the burned out trees.
Another one. I think it is interesting how they grow in a spiral.
This is the exit from Red Canyon on the way to Brice Canyon. The old truck is still hanging in there. Over 260,000 miles on it now. Next stop, Brice Canyon.
A very long trip from Crater Lake to Cedar City, Utah. This is just miles and miles of miles and miles through the desert. This is "high desert", you are mostly around 3500′ above sea level in the valleys, climbing up to 6000′ through the passes. The desert at night is full of wildlife. I almost hit 2 deer, 1 cow (free range area) and innumerable rabbits. Seriously, they were everywhere.
Went through Reno, Nevada and then took US 95 through Tonopah. This is a town right in the middle of the drive. It looked rough and as though it is still in the midst of the economic downturn. I figured I would arrive in Cedar City around 8:30 pm…I figured wrong. I also forgot about the time change when I hit Utah. I arrived in Cedar City around 10:15 that night. You could see the city for about 20 minutes before even getting close.
Along the way I had to take the obligatory "Road Picture". Michael and Cutter will understand.
That night I stayed at the Abby Inn. I would stay here again, the staff was friendly and the rooms were very clean. First thing was a greatly needed shower and then bed.
Driving from 6am to 10:30pm: 16 hours -1 for crossing the line. Again, there is nothing and nowhere out in the desert.

Q: How to fix reversed header? I know that when you put float: right to a li element it displays in a reversed order, but how can I fix the order so it displays "correctly" and on the right side of the website? Now it displays in the left side of the website. I've tried to read some old questions but didn't find anything that could help me, and also, how can I make the header display in the middle of the #333333 colored header without padding? Will auto element work?

.header {
  background-color: #333333;
  height: 50px;
  width: 100%;
}
.upper_header ul {
  margin: 0px;
  float: right;
}
.upper_header li {
  display: table-cell;
  vertical-align: middle;
  float: left;
}
.upper_header a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #fff;
}

I've tried putting float: right to the ul element and float: left to the li element, then the order is correct but the position of it is in the left. (Sorry for putting two questions in one thread, didn't want to wait another 30 minutes to submit another question.)

A: You can set your LI's to display: inline-block then you dont need to use floats.
Inline-block elements then can be aligned using text-align
Note:
Inline-block can cause a space between elements, for more info about then please read this https://css-tricks.com/fighting-the-space-between-inline-block-elements/

.header {
  background-color: #333333;
  width: 100%;
  text-align: right;
}
.upper_header {
  width: 100%;
}
.upper_header li {
  display: inline-block
}
.upper_header a {
  padding: 5px 10px;
  display: block;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #fff;
}

A: First - you have some mistakes in your code, in CSS you use .upper_header ul, but this is not correct syntax in your context. Right is ul.upper_header (your ul list is not under class upper_header, but on the same level), so it does not have effect for you.
If you don't need so much nested div and not so much classes, prevent using it. Example is below (this is solution with centered menu):
.header ul {
    text-align: center;
    list-style: none;
}
.header li {
    display: inline-block;
}

http://jsfiddle.net/aqhesrjn/4/
Then you can easily play with text-align: right in ul element
.header ul {
    text-align: right;
    list-style: none;
}
.header li {
    display: inline-block;
}

http://jsfiddle.net/aqhesrjn/3/

A: slightly modified CSS & you are using wrong selector(.upper_header ul)instead of ul.upper_header.
ul.upper_header ==> center to align center
ul.upper_header ==> right to align right

.header {
  background-color: #333333;
  height: 50px;
  width: 100%;
}
ul.upper_header {
  margin: 0px;
  text-align: center;
}
.upper_header li {
  display: inline-block;
}
.upper_header a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #fff;
}

A: you can do this as well ,one of the many options available depending upon ofcourse what you are trying to get as an end result.and you were using that upper_header class in a wrong way,you dont even need that.
.header {
  background-color: #333333;
  height: 50px;
  width: 100%;
}
.headerContainer{width:30%;
float:right;}

.headerContainer ul li {
 display:inline;
}

.headerContainer ul li a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #fff;
}

Venue: Museum of Literature and Performing Arts of BiH
We invite you to the last lecture within the cycle Somebody said Feminism?, the topic being Trans*women and Feminism, and the lecturer being Naida Kučukalić. There will be talk about how feminism, especially radical feminism, does (not) include trans* women and their issues in its struggles. Referring to research, knowledge and experience she gained through her vast work, among others, with trans* women, Naida will talk about the relation between the contemporary feminist and transfeminist currents.
Naida Kučukalić was born and grew up in Sarajevo, where she currently lives and works. In the last 15 years she has been working with young people and marginalized groups in and out of BiH, via workshops, discussions, counselling, regarding the topics of sexuality, sexual health, human rights of LGBTI persons and discrimination. The focus of her work, reading and action are human rights through the prism of feminism, women's issues, with the aim to achieve equality and to empower individuals. Naida had begun her field work as a peer educator in the Association XY, in 2002, and since then had worked mostly with the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) in BiH, Bulgaria and Egypt (where she also worked and lived for some time), and had continued her work through the programmes of GIZ, Bayer and Sarajevo Open Centre, where she mostly worked with the LGBT community.
Sarajevo Open Centre (SOC) advocates the full respect of human rights and social inclusion of LGBTI people and women.

Humans have tended to become self- centered and think about their benefit before performing any action or making a decision in today's competitive world. But are we as selfish as we think we are? Our species have enhanced capacity for empathy and unparalleled sensitivity towards needs of others. Because of which we continue to selflessly help another individual and practice this pro social behavior called altruism. Altruism is indispensable for the survival of society. Human beings' tendency to engage in pro social behaviors is unevenly distributed across the population, and this variation can be a variable of both nature and nurture. This study aims towards analyzing the level of altruism in generation Z on the basis of their gender. The sample population comprised of 50 girls and 50 boys residing in the area of Gujarat, India. The data were collected using Altruism Scale (2004) developed by Dr. S.N. Rai and Dr. Sanwat Singh. After the statistical analysis of the data, it was found that there is a significant difference between the altruism levels of males and females, where females were found to be more altruistic.

Twiggy, Thandie Newton, Gillian Wearing and Margaret Atwood are among those to be recognised in the Queen's New Year Honours list 2019.
A prominent face of fashion since the '60s, Twiggy will be presented with a damehood for services to fashion, the arts and charity. Speaking of her new title, the model, 69, said: "I'm a very proud Brit, I feel I'm an ambassador for Britain, I always have… My only sadness with this is my mum and dad aren't here to know. They'd have been so proud," reports The BBC.
Thandie Newton, 28 years since she made her film debut alongside Nicole Kidman in Flirting, is awarded an OBE for services to film and charity.
Artist and winner of the Turner Prize Gillian Wearing, who this year was charged with the creation of the very first statue of a woman to be placed Parliament Square, is named CBE for services to art.
Also recognised is Hotel Rwanda and Anthony and Cleopatra actress Sophie Okonedo for her contribution to drama. Okonedo sees her OBE from 2010 upgraded.
Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood is alone in the list in receiving the highest honour Her Majesty can bestow: the Order of the Companions of Honour for services to literature.
While 544 women are being honoured in the biannual list, the figure makes up just 47 per cent of the overall recognised, which is the lowest percentile in five years.
Other notable faces this year include Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and Dunkirk director Christopher Nolan who both receive CBEs. 90-year-old model Daphne Self receives a BEM for services to women and fashion, while Helen Pankhurst is made CBE for services to gender equality.

Yaya Toure sends message to Sol Bamba after cancer diagnosis
Bamba is currently spending his fifth season with the Bluebirds
Tue, 12 Jan 2021 Source: goal.com
Former Manchester City star Yaya Toure and fans have sent get well messages to Cardiff City defender Sol Bamba after his cancer diagnosis.
The Championship club confirmed the Ivory Coast international is suffering from Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and has begun chemotherapy.
Bamba is currently spending his fifth season with the Bluebirds, having teamed up with the club from Leeds United in the summer of 2016.
The 35-year-old has featured in more than 100 games for Cardiff and played a key role in their promotion to the Premier League in 2018 before their relegation.
The centre-back has played six times for the Bluebirds this season across all competitions before the setback.
Bamba's compatriot Toure, his supporters and former clubs have taken to the social media to wish the defender a quick recovery.

Awful news about Cardiff defender Sol Bamba being diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Just wanted to put this out there to show my support for him. He was a leader that inspired me when I watched him often when Cardiff were in the Premier League. Wishing Sol a full recovery.??
