I will begin with this Rhetorical Question :
Does it count as a One Thousand Mile Journey when it only 'feels' like it will be a One Thousand Mile Journey, or that is has already been a One Thousand Mile Journey just getting here to this point?
Back (to name a very specific date) on August 16th 2011, my webmaster Andrej and I opened up my very first ever website, babakaps.net, a website hosted by Midphase using Word Press.
Then, two months later, on October 22, 2011, while in Agra Cantt, India, with Gullible as my webmaster, we two opened up a new, Goggle Blogger, blogspot website, bobbacaps.blogspot.com.
Below is my first ever post here on blogspot..

Not to confuse any of you but, in the meantime, I have opened up two other blogspot websites. The third one on October 20th 2014 and the fourth one on October 13th 2015.
Odd but all of my Google blogspot websites have been opened up in the month of October. October the 22nd, the 20th and the 13th.
Go figure.
My mission has always been to share, with anyone following along with Patti and me, the joy of our world travels.
And?
In December of 2019, while still in Asia, at the end of a 14 month trip, I was infected with the covid-19 virus and then I infected Patti with it.
And?
Our world travels have stopped cold.
I have been wrestling for several years as to the future of this website. In general, website viewers want to see something of interest to them. In general, viewers are NOT interested in personal life details. Besides our personal life details are posted on babakaps.net and never here on blogspot.
And?
What to do?
What NOT to do! We do not want to abandon this website with its history of nine hundred and seventy three (973) posts and tens of thousands of photos.
Discussion : Until Patti and I are able to again resume our world travels, what do we want to do with our blogspot website? Further, the truth being told, at our ages, we may never again travel outside of the United States because of many risks to one's personal well being along with the medical issues people in their 80's have.
Conclusion : For our own personal satisfaction, and hopefully for yours as well, to refresh our own memories of the many places we have visited, we are going to begin to re-post interesting photos of our past travels because we ourselves can't possibly remember all of the photos we have snapped.
This will keep blogspot alive and active and refresh all of our memories.
Next up. A second visit to India, to Goa, to Arambol Beach.
Cap and Patti
Well, I could remind you that you never posted photos of our train trip back to Ulanbaater….
ReplyDeleteHow very true! As YOU, of all people, KNOW, there seem to be, at least for yours truly, a lot of photos and trips we never seem to get published. Smiles. THANKS for a comment here. Cap
