Today was awesome! I did exactly what I planned and went to the North Sea. It was overcast and no rain or wind.  I walked the beach about 4 miles round trip. Loved being on the North Sea!

My day was a series of encounters – from the interesting to the fun to the difficult and challenging to the profoundly heart-touching to the ones that helped me grow. Actually all of them did that, including the tiny little snail I met at the side of the trail in the dunes, as she moved herself along about 1/4 inch at a time with no sense of rush and urgency. She reminded me of the horses – accepting wherever they are and whatever they are doing at the moment without judgment or resistance or desire to be somewhere else.

Every encounter was a story, which I’m sure I will share in the coming weeks and months.

Tomorrow -Saturday – is the Big Libya Day!  I have my train tickets and plan already set to get to the airport tomorrow morning. I fly out at 10:30am.

I met a man on the beach today who has been to Libya 2 or 3 times on business. He said there are so many police in Tripoli that it is one of the safest places I can go. Excellent! Interesting how many people have said they thought Libya would be dangerous. I can certainly understand why based on the media and international news.

I’ll write more as soon as I can. We leave to go camping in the desert on Monday evening.

Blessings to you all!
