Anchorage, Alaska's Principal City
Anchorage, the largest city in America's 49th State, was founded
in 1914 to provide the railhead for the Pacific Railway to,
Fairbanks. With a population of approximately 260,000 it houses
42% of Alaska's population. This expansive city nestles at the

As you head west towards Puerto Banus, you'll pass at least half a dozen signs inviting you to head to this village in the mountains, so it seems only reasonable to succomb and find out what all the fuss is about. As you climb higher you will see the huge Istan lake and country...
Andes Mountains Adventure pounds in the pack to begin with, so by the time I put on all my clothes that night, the weight on my back was irrelevant. The weight of my body, however, wasn't. Paco had to coax me up that mountain.
Glaciers Near The Equator
The glaciers start near the hut. Hiking soon became mountaineering. I put on crampons for the second time in my life. During one of my many breaks ("Demasiado" - too many, which I pretended not to understand when Paco explained in Spanish), I...

Archetypes
DEPTH PSYCHOLOGY (ARCHETYPES): - "All material bodies are condensations of frozen bodies." (2) Jung is becoming 'in vogue' again, I hear. Perhaps this time around it won't just involve so little real appreciation for all that he meant and understood. Dream interpretation and projected Western values can be a Freudian gambit - Jung grew to see things few will ever admit to in the present ideologies of the West. He was able to contact the future before the First World War and it...

Austria Off The Beaten Path - Zell am See, Innsbruck and Bad Gasteinto expect from town in the Alps. In addition to atmosphere, you can visit historic locations such as the tomb of Emperor Maximilian 1.
My only gripe with Innsbruck is the boring, modern developments around the core of the town that were brought on by the Olympics. They sort of kill the mood, which brings us to Bad Gastein.
Bad Gastein
Bad Gastein definitely gets a nomination for name of the year. It just sounds like a town...
