The tar in the street starts to melt from the heat
And the sweats runnin’ down from my hair
I walked 20 miles and I’m dragging my feet
And I’ll walk 20 more I don’t care
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
I’m like a ghost some people can’t see
Others drive by and stare
A shadow that drifts by the side of the road
It’s like I’m not even there
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
Well I’ve never been part of the game
The life that I live is my own
All that I know is that I was born
To wander this world all alone, all alone
Some people are born with their lives all laid out
And all their success is assured
Some people work hard all their lives for nothin’
They take it and don’t say a word
They don’t say a word
Sometimes it’s like I don’t even exist
Even God has lost track of my soul
Why else would he leave me out here like this
To wander this world all alone
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
–Jonny Lang, “Wander This World”

My final day in Bahrain was spent wishing it was sunnier so that I could go to the beach, but also feeling generally lethargic and unmotivated to do anything outside except for going to a Bahrain mall and seeing Bahrain indoors. This was a much needed rest day, sleep in day, do laundry day, and…
On my third full day in Bahrain, the theme was decidedly Muharraq – the district connected to Manama by bridge that contained the airport. Brice had to work a few hours in the morning so he met me and we headed out for the day around noon. We decided to plan several Muharraq adventures throughout…
The theme of my second day in Manama turned out to be Bahrain museums, including La Fontaine and the National Museum, and the Bahrain Fort. After a small breakfast, I actually got a somewhat early start (11AM – ha!). Brice was able to take another day off and we planned out a great day of…
A few days back I found myself arriving in Bahrain after an exciting business trip to Toronto and London over the previous 10 days. I arrived in Manama (BAH Airport) Wednesday Jan 25 around 11PM to visit my friend Brice and kick-off a 10 day vacation through the Arabian Peninsula. If you’re interested about my…
On our final day off the grid in the Amazon, we woke up early to welcome the day on the river in a canoe at sunrise. I woke up at 0430 with Tarek frantically knocking on my door, thinking it was 0530 and that we were late. This was a great opportunity for me to…
