Travel Tips

The lady with 3 first names, but I'll call her "ASH"

This has to be my favorite PICTURE of Julie (Julie&). After coming out of this deep hole in the ground...with all the climbing we did, fighting the moths, trying to fit in a few tight spots, she comes out and lights a "Fag"...I didn't even know she smoked ;o))

Okay, I had to change photo and put a new picture of Grazina & Irma. These two lovely young women of Lithuania are near and dear to my heart. I first met them at Page America summer time. When I asked Irma the one without dimples where she was from, I thought that she was going to say Russia but to my surprise it was Lithuania which of course I never heard of at that point in time. Then a couple months later Grazina came to work there as well for a month, so when the end of August came and went so did my Lithuanian beauties. But we did make a promise that every 4 years we will meet up again so of course 2003 I went to Lithuania and then again 2007 so now they have to come and visit me here in the States 2011. RIGHT IRMA AND GRAZINA.

I really enjoy the company I keep. My boss (who we call the Chief) is also my bestfriend along with his sister Renee (in the red). I work as his tour guide for Antelope Slot Canyon tours w/ Chief Tsosie and his guides.

Hello EWA (the blond). I also had the opportunity to work side by side with Ewa who is Polish but lives in Berlin (met at I.T.B. as well). She made the whole 5 days there fun and enjoyable it didn't even feel like work. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?". She too has come to Page America to visit with her boyfriend Morgan, and I have got to see her in West Hollywood where she lives now.

These guys are too cool! I love them and miss them. That's the thing about Page, if your Navajo your roots go deep and so it's hard to just up and move to a totally different location. But I noticed that the Anglo's come for a season and then with the high winds they blow away to a different place, be it back to Europe or down the road to Colorado.
Jodie is 1/4 Lebanese, born and bred in Monte Vista, Colorado. Never seen or met a Jewish person or Israeli in her life but has that deep hatered for them...until she met me. I showed her the beauty of these people, and it was all with simple way of just talking and sharing the history of the Jewish Nation, and her people.
I asked one day why do you hate them so much? Were you hurt by one? The answer was "NO", I was just taught to hate them with all my being. So sad that parents teach their children these lies. And this problem is all over, even here in Page with the Navajos and the Anglo-saxon. But, I try to pray this evil spirit away from my little town and bring harmony to all people that we can live together as brothers and sisters.
A saying of a dear friend who is Navajo, "I know what the white man eats, I know what makes him laugh, I know what makes him cry, but does the white man know what I eat, and what makes me laugh, and what makes me cry? No, because he is scared to cross that boundary line on to the reservation to see how I live." But, to be honest we are really peaceful and fun loving people, very passive just to keep the harmony.

Here are a few of my bestest of friends that I've grown up with, and yes they are just that crazy. We are alway out just to have a good time and even to this day we still get together and talk about the good old days. Eunice Tso (Dotson) is my childhood girlfriend whom I've known for 31 years now. She is alot like me, in fact I think she wants to be like me when she grows up ;o). She the one next to me in this picture.
