"I'm poor."
I say this alot. I deserve a smack in the face. A punch in the gut. A black eye. A bloody nose. I'm not poor at all. I live in excess. What the hell do I know about poverty? I haven't gone a night in my life wondering if I was going to eat the next day, or worrying about whether I'd still have a place to sleep.

We boarded the bus, bound for Port Stephens, and I shook myself out of my irritable mood. The best was yet to come for certain. 99% chance of finding dolphins, the pamphlet boasted. As we sailed off into the bay following a small pod of dolphins, I found as quiet aplace on the boat (read: small cruise ship) as I could, and closed my eyes as the sun and wind played over my face. This was much better. Much more to my liking.

The first day in Vietnam I went on a field trip to 500 different religious sites. OK, it was more like eight places but it felt like 500. We went to a Mosque, a Church, some Buddhist Temples, a Cao Dai Temple, and even the site of some Ancestor Worship. To be honest, by this point in the trip I've seen so many religious sites that I think if I see one more Pagoda I'm going to barf.
Vietnam: From the city to the Mekong - seanessie
The basilica of St. Mary Magdalen in Vézélay, France, is one of 812 sites whose "outstanding universal value" wins them inclusion on UNESCO's World Heritage List. The church, a Benedictine abbey, has been a pilgrimage site for more than a millennium, thanks to its possession of the saint's purported relics, which it obtained shortly after its foundation in the ninth century. It was also an important stopover on one of the four major routes through France to the greatest of all pilgrimage sites in Western Europe, Santiago de Compostela in Galicia. The present structure was built in the Romanesque style in the twelfth century. St. Bernard preached the Second Crusade there, and it was the point of departure for Richard the Lion-heart and Philip Augustus at the start of the Third.
