Mark’s notes (8/30 - 9/2)

8/30

Drove to Auxerre from CDG 

St Etienne Cathedral - parked by church and went in - very old Romanesque style church - constructed in stages beginning around 500 AD - most of Gothic structure seen today was completed in 1200s (Dark Ages) - very striking stain glass windows 

September 1 - Touring in a Third World Country

We are weathering our visit to PNG well, but it is not easy touring here.  The temperature falls to 74 at night.  The humidity is 80% at best.  The electricity turns off  at 11 p.m.  One of the fans operates by battery.  The highway is paved except where it has broken to pieces.  The side roads are simply cuts through the trees.  Our resort has creature comforts.  The people outside of the fence have scarcely that.  Most houses are about 8x15 feet rectangles on stilts with windowless and screenless openings.

September 1 - Walindi Resort, Kimbe, New Britain, Papua New Guinea

So good to see so much activity on this web site.  France seems so wonderful, but we are enjoying our jungle adventures.
