Journey to "THE HILL"

A journey not for the faint of heart, as the beginnings of an evil empire can be seen near the top of the hill shown below, something the native people call "Embrace Tiger, Welcome Mountain".   Loosely translated to Jam-Speak and back again, it means, "No Littering"

Susan and Mark, trying not to get blown away.  A split instant after this picture was taken, a falling coconut struck me unconscious and sent me into wild convulsions.   I died later at the hospital.

You have to hang on tight to the moment, because once it's gone you can never get it back.   Above, a little moment hanging.  Listening carefully, one can almost make out the sound of one hand clapping.  In the distance, Mamme Bay gets rain.
