Stuck in Petropavlovsk
- Older in Siberia 2004: Stuck in Petropavlovsk - Newer in Siberia 2004: Stuck in Petropavlovsk
I'm killing time in an internet cafe in Yelizovo, near Petropavlovsk kamchatsky. We were supposed to fly north today but it's stormy and the plane is grounded. It's been a bit of a sticky eddy here; had a few hassles with my permissions and registration and some stuff, so I'm pretty burnt on being in town. Last night we had a bunch of toasts to our journey. One guy said: "There are many steps. Be careful with every step. Even a simple problem like a sprained ankle can be serious out there." Then the next guy piped in, "But with every step, you will be in a new place, so be sure to look around and appreciate it. Because when you take the next step, you will never be there again." Good words, good thoughts to think about as I walk the long road across the tundra.
