How Time Flies!
So much has happened in the "Fat Belly Traveler" world since our last posting. We are growing our library by leaps and bounds with some really interesting and artistic work. If you haven't seen these videos yet, be sure to check out: Boston, Mass. Food Service Jam; Everywhere Universe; and Forestville, CA, Gourd Festival. All three are artful, entertaining and thought provoking.
We have recently celebrated several birthdays which have taken us to San Gregorio, Bonny Doon and Big Sur, California.
San Gregorio is just off Hwy 1 and has an old-time general store that sells everything but the kitchen sink. This hip and comfy outfit also has a full bar, food and live music every weekend beginning at 11:00AM. Bonny Doon is both a itty bitty town (unincorporated community to tell the truth) and a fabulous winery. We stopped by for a picnic and a little wine tasting at the Bonny Doon Winery in the Santa Cruz mountains. Big Sur is along the Central Coast of California and is where the wild coastlands meet the coastal redwoods. Both beautiful and grandiose, it lends itself to something out of a Thoreau novel.....a place to commune with nature and be still within oneself. A place to both lose oneself and find oneself. A place to slow down and to breathe.
On the media front, our documentary Hell and High Water, about the devastation of hurricane Katrina on New Orleans and the people that live there, was shown on the Big Screen in Santa Cruz recently for a hurricane relief fundraiser. A community in Santa Cruz has adopted a FEMA trailer park in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where 1600 people are still living and waiting for.............whatever is next. They are without so much (schools, jobs, cars, food, loved ones, dignity, funding, etc.) The good people in Santa Cruz will be caravanning supplies from California all the way down to Louisiana. People helping people, now that is what humanity is all about. For more info on the movie, Hell and High Water go to: HellandHighWaterthemovie.com.
Life goes on here as elsewhere: The leaves have turned and are falling off the trees. The view from our windows is a picturesque landscape of reds, greens and yellows all mingled together as if we were looking at an impressionist painting. It is raining with a damp chill to the air. Our Country has made good choices and we are hopeful about our future. Life is good! And we hope so for you too!

It is time to take the media in our own hands.
If we learn a few ticks of the trade our can look as good as the nework's.
The time is of the citizen journalist is here.
We no longer need to get all our information from the corporations - we can get it from each other.
Long live the Fat Belly Traveler!
