I had HAM this morning

They told me yesterday that it had been on the news... that all the ham that had been bought in the last ten days shouldn't be consumed... and that it was dangerous... I had not watched the news... Oh well... I had ham yesterday morning and my ears didn't grow bigger so I guess it was fine so I had some again today...

So here I am writing and sitting in the shadow of a palmtree and after a long walk that started on a normal road that turned into a paved road that turned into a kind of trail... with small rocks at the beginning and then sand and then earth and then mud and then nothing else but grass... and then really nothing so I was walking into the wild and I found the magic couch! I even took a picture of me and the magic couch!

If you asked me where I am, I would say that I don't know because I was only trying to find a way to get across a river so I could climb the mountain that was on the other side... But I met a rabbit and I asked him which road I should take... He asked me where I was going and I said that I didn't know so he said that then it didn't matter which road I would choose...

So I picked one and Doris came to me while I was on a little boat with a singing captain with a white beard, sunglasses, a cap and a cigarette and probably the tatto of an anchor on his arm... and a pipe somewhere not too far... Popeye the sailorman dum dum... So Doris told me to just keep walking and just keep walking and then just keep walking...

So because I believe that Doris is always right I told myself that I should keep walking and that it didn't matter which road I was walking on... So to tell you everything the smell of this place is almost like the one at the Biodome in the rainforest part! Plus the heat and the humidity! Some brasilian probably went to Montreal and stole a bit of the smell of the Biodome rainforest and he reproduced it in Brasil...

Yesterday I saw on TV that some one had captured two ghosts in two small bottles - the ghosts looked like some blue colored water... and they were selling them on ebay... I should have been watching the news...

On my way back, I met a man and he looked like the second last human on earth - in this part of the city - and then a car (!!!) came very fast and it also looked like the last car on earth - but this time in the whole world... This car had probably been used to put some trees down the way it looked... Or the thing about the ghosts is true and this car was the ghost of a car and... Oh my my (it's a line of my new favorite song) it was blue! And I am sure it would have looked like some blue colored water if I had put it in a small bottle...

Animal Farm by George Orwell ends like this: The creatures outside looked from pig to man and from man to pig and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which... I'm not sure if the ham was good this morning but I feel normal...

I still have to get back to the river to meet the "passeur" if he is still there... The happy sailor man dum dum who found the best job in the world... after a lifelong quest trying to find happiness... he realised that it was in the journey and not in the destination... Now he helps people to continue their journey - some of them in direction of a magic couch!

Besides all this, I did arrive in BC on last Thursday - I was going to camp but after walking for several hours with a ton of stuff on my back - and smiling at people who would take pictures of me - I started to ask where (the h***) it was and then I got tons of different information until I got to the right street and a woman standing in the middle of the street told me it was closed... I found a pousada but there was no running water... hum... And then I stayed in a hostel where I am sending this from - and will move later today with some CSers (he know les TETES A CLAQUES!) that I met on Saturday! So I really enjoy being here - once again it is very different than what I had expected!
