I rode a train way down South
There was a man with a very loud mouth
I was seated next to this guy
But not for long and I'll tell you why

When I went up to have a bite
This guy got drunk, not a pretty sight
He fell over and cut his head
He was way out, so that was bad

They got the paramedics in
And argued, but this man did win
Then later on, he fell again
They put him off the train by then

I think he is a man to pity
He was no fun and not at all pretty
They found me a seat where I could rest
I think I'm heading South, not West

~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm having a great time
But I won't tell you where
Because I need to be alone
So this secret I will not share

It's South, it's East, it's at the sea
It's hot, I swim and fish
I've come to rest after a busy year
At night I eat a fishy dish

Today a man has catched a fish
I'll show you the pic later on
It was a Tuna or even a King
Mine only bite, then bait was gone

But then I wouldn't really know
How to handle a fish like that
I hardly can take it home with me
By that time it would smell bad I'll bet

I want to stay here for a while
I'm getting real peace of mind
I won't tell you the place I'm in
Not even when you're behaving kind

I found this cybercafe up here
And I'm renting a slow pc
So all you poets have to wait
In Tampa you'll see the whole of me

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Gee whiz Titia, what stories you will have to tell when you return home and what memories you will have!! Have fun and be safe, hugs, Chris

Titia, what an amazing coincidence that you should take the same train as Toerag!!!!

Sounds like you're having a blast...going out on your own in a foreign country. An adventurous spirit you are. I've done that - many, many, many years ago.

Have a great time! See you soon.........

Hi Titia ~~ Thanks for checking in, I was beginning to wonder where you disappeared to. I am so glad you are having a fun and restful vacation, despite the old drunk on the train. And finally, you are getting to fish!!

Enjoy your days and keep us posted when you can. Hugs, Marti

P.S. My guess, somewhere in Georgia!!

Titia... you are so brave to travel all by yourself in a strange country... and we are a bit strange, you have to admit...
If you get a chance, would you please drop me an email and let me know if there is any particular way in which you would like your soil packaged, because I am wondering how you are going to get it through customs.
I am very excited about seeing you soon...

Titia, yes, you do attract male travelers. Must be that charming accent. I'm glad you found a place to fish and have some time alone. Have fun in Flarida! Thank you for stopping in Pa. It meant so much to me.
Lots of love

Doing the bump-de-bump for Titia to find easily tonight when she jumps online from a Cyber-Cafe~

Lyra .... just package that soil in the little plastic film containers and label it~
That was Titia's suggestion and a good one !

Titia ... I'll pick you up first thing in the morning !! OH ... I'm just so excited to have you coming here~
Love n' lots of hugs~
