From Mitchell: Here is some video I shot on my camera at the awesome jousting show we saw in Carcassone.
This is my favourite part - the axe battle. A bit corny, but still well done.

Favourite Travel Quotes
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain
"Not all those who wander are lost"
--J.R.R. Tolkien
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go....
--Dr. Seuss, Oh! The Places You'll Go!

About Us
- Ted, Kathi, Mitchell, Jackson
- We are planning a trip around the world, with our kids. Both Ted & I are participating in self-funded leave plans through our employers. The goal is to take our two boys out of school for one year (Augst 2009 to August 2010) and visit as many as 12 countries in five continents. That is the plan, but it's still a long ways away so best not to declare too much . . . the best-laid plans and all that. Stay tuned with us! ktelborn@gmail.com
