Recently a friend referred a young Swiss to me for a short stay. He is a member of couchsurfing, an Internet site which encourages travelers to find and stay with local people in various countries.
Well this turned out to be a very educational and pleasant experience for me. I learned more about the Internet and its many secrets than I have in years. The changes in this world over the past thirty years never cease to amaze me. For your enjoyment I include a couple of the sites I learned about in my "links".
I will be going back to the United States on May 10 and returning to the boat on July 22. I hope to see many of you during this trip.
After my return I hope to sail to Langkawi at Malaysia's northern border.
