Kindness has surprising power to transform us, perhaps more than any other attitude or technique. Kindness gives meaning and value to our life, raises us above our troubles and our battles, and makes us feel good about ourselves. Kindness and compassion are among the principal things that make our lives meaningful. They are a source of lasting happiness and joy. They are the foundation of a good heart, the heart of one who acts out of a desire to help others; through kindness we ensure our own benefit. Consideration for others is worthwhile because our happiness is inextricably bound up with the happiness of others. The Power of Kindness by Piero Ferrucci powerfully takes you on a journey involving the exploration of core acts of kindness. The following are the first nine of eighteen acts of kindness:
1) Honesty. To act honestly, even at the risk of saying no and causing distress to others, if done with intelligence and tact, is the kindest thing to do, because it respects our own integrity and acknowledges in others the capacity to be competent and mature.
2) Warmth. We cannot live without warmth and closeness of others. Every day, countless people die a little bit for want of warmth. Usually it is the sense of touch we associate most of all with warmth. Like babies, we adults also need warmth – both psychological and physical warmth. But mostly we need someone to talk to, someone who knows and appreciates us, someone who cares about us. Warm, close connections are not only physical, but also spiritual and psychological. It is the capacity to enter another's life and to let others enter yours, to reveal our own dreams, to be without fear.
3) Forgiveness. Forgiveness is sometimes the only remedy for unspeakable sufferings. Because our thoughts influence each cell and organ in our body, we must decide if we will fill our thoughts with hate and revenge or love and happiness. As long as we do not face our anger it will remain. When we forgive, we are less concerned with judgment, and more with understanding; when we forgive, the past no longer dominates us, our emotions are not colored by guilt or vindictiveness. We can only be kind when the past no longer dominates us.
4) Contact. Entering into contact with others opens the door to which kindness can flow. Where you find contact between two people, you find the heart, you find an attitude that makes you feel that this person is right there, just for you, and that you are her or his priority at that moment – that you count.
5) Sense of belonging. The sense of belonging is a basic need and at the same time answers the question: What am I a part of? Who am I? It may be impossible to know who we are without reference to others. We all need the protection and security that only the close relationship with other human beings can offer. Research has found that support is extraordinarily important for physical and mental health. Kindness is the act of reaching out to support those in need.
6) Trust. Our survival is linked to trust; trust aids and nourishes us, and it multiplies our possibilities; trust creates intimacy. At the center of trust we find surrender; the ability to let go has a profound effect upon us. Trust and kindness go hand in hand; kindness is trusting and ready to risk; it brings us close to others.
7) Mindfulness. The present moment never escapes us, because we are eternally immersed in it. To be in the present moment with someone else is a gift. The gift of attention is perhaps the most precious and envied of all, even though we do not always realize it. To be there, to be totally available, is what we secretly hope other people will do for us. Giving attention to someone in the present moment is a kindness; by paying attention, we attribute meaning and importance, we offer nourishment, we give energy of the heart, we can care for, we can love.
8) Empathy. What seems to be a simple instinctual capacity, becomes the ability to understand other people's feelings and points of view, to identify with them; we are able to step out of ourselves and enter into the lives of others. Empathy is a prerequisite for communication, collaboration, and social cohesion. The moment someone feels understood and realizes that we see the validity in his point of view, or identify with their experience, they are able to let go and feel healed. Compassion is the noblest result of empathy; it brings us out of our selfishness; it opens and unites us to others; it fills our heart.
9) Humility. To realize how much you do not know is to treasure life's lessons – that is humility. If you want to be at your best in learning, humility is your tool. Humility helps us to understand we are one among many, mortal, and limited; others exist, each with their needs, realities, hopes, and dramas. When we understand we are not the only one who is important, humility places us in a state where we can be kind to others.

The Dutch House
"Even if you've already Ann Patchett's masterful new novel, don't overlook the audio version! Knowing the story and hearing Tom Hanks as Danny are unique experiences -- in fact, listeners can savor Hanks' insightful depiction of the narrator even better knowing the plot. Patchett's work and Hanks' interpretation are a perfect match!"Cheryl, Book Passage
Catch and Kill
Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators
By Ronan Farrow
Narrated by Ronan Farrow / 10 hours 43 minutes
Catch and Kill
"A timely, incredibly important account of the difficulties Farrow faced at NBC while working on the Weinstein expose, which he took to the New Yorker and subsequently won a Pulitzer for. The audiobook is grippingly read by Farrow (though the accents he attempts are... let's go with 'confusing'). It's upsetting, sure, but heartening to see the exhaustive research and the very clearly laid-out account of how Farrow had to work against the very powerful high-profile members of the media establishment--including his own bosses--not only because of Weinstein's well-oiled intimidation machine but also as part of those figures attempting to cover up their own histories of being harassers. Highly recommend this important piece of current events journalism, which reads like a thriller novel."Gretchen, A Room Of One's Own Bookstore

A Memoir
By Demi Moore
Narrated by Demi Moore / 6 hours 31 minutes
Inside Out
"Demi Moore's memoir is riveting. She begins the book describing her desperately sad childhood. Both parents suffer from alcoholism and the demons that accompany the disease. Her father commits suicide in his thirties. As a result, Demi enters into many failed romances with men who are cut from the same cloth as her father. Demi candidly describes her break into show business and the many famous people that she meets along the way. She covers her own substance abuse issues with raw candor. Demi does not miss a beat in her descriptions of both high profile marriages. Listening to Demi's words in her own voice was a special treat. It is the story of hard work and resilience. I highly recommend it."Melinda, Buttonwood Books and Toys

A Memoir
By Tara Westover
Narrated by Julia Whelan / 12 hours 9 minutes
"Educated by Tara Westover is a wrenching account of a young woman who must choose between education on one hand and her family which is ruled by a religious misogynist apocalyptic zealot who lives off the grid and who might also be bi-polar, on the other. I thought the most fascinating part of Westover's story would be her journey from backwoods Idaho to a Cambridge University PhD, but her relationship with her family, and one brother, in particular, was at the heart of this memoir and quest for self."Phyllis, Wellesley Books

A Novel
By Ta-Nehisi Coates
Narrated by Joe Morton / 14 hours 14 minutes
The Water Dancer (Oprah's Book Club)
"Ta-Nehisi Coates understands something big and he understands it better than anyone else right now. The Water Dancer led me on a journey up and down the landscape of American slavery with a narrative that feels like The Book of Exodus meets, well, Ta-Nehisi Coates. Over 400 pages I have cried, I have laughed, I have been educated, and I have been enlightened. Coates writes with an honesty that can only come from a sublime, even spiritual, understanding of the souls of the white man and the black man in America. Written with poignancy and humanity, The Water Dancer left me stunned but clear-headed, like I had just been woken up from a deep, dream-filled sleep."Norris Rettiger, Lemuria Bookstore

News & reviews for the fiction lover in us all!
The Wayward One (De Montfortes Brothers, Book 5)
HISTORICAL: Lady Nerissa De Montfortes, youngest coddled sibling of the Duke of Blackheath, accompanies her brother Lord Andrew to a demonstration of his latest invention, an explosive that will give the Royal Navy advantage over the rebellious Americans. Before the night is through, Lady Nerissa is abducted by an Irish rogue, a Captain in the Continental Navy. Captain Ruaidri O'Devir has been commissioned by John Adams to bring the explosive formula back to the Americans. He takes the inventor's sister instead and so begins a tale of two people who should be all wrong for one another, for reasons of class, country and religion, yet find love instead. With the Royal Navy in pursuit, along with the force of a Duke who lets no one hurt his family, Lady Nerissa is forced to choose between family and the man she loves.
Like the waves of the ocean, "The Wayward One" will take listeners on a ride of high emotion from start to finish. Although it is book five in the De Montfortes Brothers' series, it stands on its own. Danielle Harmon weaves the history of the period through the story, at the same time creating characters that grab the listener's heart.
Hats off to narrator Wayne Farrell for a performance that resonates long after the story ends. Captain O'Devir slides under the listener's skin, while Farrell's portrayal of Blackheath emotes with the power of a brother determined to free his sister from her blackguard captor. Farrell's impeccable delivery creates a masterful performance that keeps the listener entertained and on edge for a superb storytelling experience.

Hawks Lose Battle to Bandera but Bigger Battles are in Store
The Canyon Lake Classic Boy's Soccer Tournament ended with the Hawks taking a nail-biter loss, 2-1 on Saturday at the Hawk Nest.
"There was a lot of good stuff that came out of this tournament," Head Coach Warren Graham started. "We got a lot of experience as a result of this game. This will prepare us for district and we are looking forward to it."
Bandera only took one minute to take their first lead of this game as CL looked dazed in starting this Championship match.
The Bulldogs are also in the same District as the Hawks and have just one loss this season finishing as top bullDog in the tournament with a 7-1 record.
CL did well after winning their first 3 games as Brayden Damico did not allow a goal those first 3 contests.
The Hawks beat Beeville (3-0), Lampasas (2-0), and Pleasanton (1-0) in order to reach their 2nd consecutive tournament championship game in the past two weeks.
Canyon Lake responded to that first goal early in the second period as Matthew Bell scored from 30 yards out after an assist from Grayson Rohrbacher.
Rohrbacher has put together a good beginning of the year as this Hawk Captain keeps the ball alive on many Hawk rallies while waiting for reinforcements to come and helping to get a CL goal.
"Yeah, I try to check over my shoulder to see my options," Rohrbacher said while looking straight ahead. "After that, it is my option and I have a pretty good idea…..but I just keep working and passing."
On how well this team has been doing with their passing, "Yes, our outside gives us options to work with and we are fixed on where we need to be," Rohrbacher continued.
Bandera scored what would be the game winner with right at 5 minutes remaining in the contest as the Bulldogs were able to ricochet that winning goal through a busy net of players.
The Hawks have their sights on district as they will have 5 more non-conference games before the real action starts up on February 10th at home against Boerne.
Scorers for the Hawks has their whole roster in action for these four tournament games and you can see below on how those 7 goals scored with Canyon Lake's 3-1 record.
Canyon Lake Classic Tournament name goals assists points Grayson Rohrbacher 2 3 7 Nash Young 1 1 3 Jordan Sczech 1 1 3 Mason Blackburn 1 0 2 James Alexander 1 0 2 Matthew Bell 1 0 2
This was a team effort for Canyon Lake as having speed and all hands on deck mentality will play well as this season matures to district time.
The Hawks have now scored 28 goals, which leaves them one short of the 2015 Hawks and with 7 more this group of players will surpass last year's team who finished with 34 during that season.
Just a quick, back in history segment, Canyon Lake scored just 3 goals back during the 2013 campaign and that should help and instill some accolades as this loss to Bandera is a far cry from those year's gone by.
Boy's Soccer made their first entry to the playoffs last year and seem to have more on their agenda as they continue to improve going into those games that count.
"We can do it because we are talented," Rohrbacher commented on how this team can compete when district games come calling. "We have Brotherhood and we are all close and there is no individual that is better than the others."
Good words as Canyon Lake will go to work when La Vernia comes to town this Tuesday as the Hawks will try to kick a Bear.
Go Hawks!!

3 Tips for Storing Fresh Dill
Dill, native to the eastern Mediterranean and Asia, is an herb that has been used extensively in cooking for generations. It's a staple ingredient for pickling vegetables like carrots, beetroot, and cucumbers. In fact, the dill pickles that everyone is so fond of are just cucumbers that were pickled using the dill herb. It's for this reason that dill weed is also sometimes called the "pickle herb."
This annual is easy to grow and maintain. If you decide to plant dill in your garden, you can cultivate it for yourself with minimal effort. While dill is also available in most supermarkets, fresh dill leaves have much more flavor than the seeds or dry dill. However, drying dill is an option you can consider for long-term storage.
1. Avoid Washing
Dill weed wilts quickly. If you want to store fresh dill in the refrigerator, it lasts longer in the absence of excessive moisture. So, if possible, avoid washing the dill weed before storing it. There is no need to wash dill that has been grown without the use of pesticides before you put it in the fridge. A thorough wash should only be necessary if you find bugs or dirt in the dill weed, and even then you should dry it thoroughly before storing it.
2. Storing Fresh Dill in the Refrigerator
After you harvest dill from your backyard or bring it home from the store, do a thorough inspection to rule out any insects, worms, bugs, and excessive dirt. If everything looks good, just shake the stems loosely and place them in a plastic bag. Add a piece of paper towel to absorb any condensation that may form inside the bag. When kept in the refrigerator in this manner, dill can last between up to 10 days and still maintain its freshness.
You can also keep the stems in a jar or vase with water and cover the leaves with a plastic cover for longer lasting flavor and freshness. If you do this, make sure the jar or vase is sealed tightly, as water and air will create the kind of moisture mentioned above that leads to wilting.
For best results, keep the temperature in your fridge below 40 degrees F.
3. Freezing Fresh Dill
If you freeze fresh dill, it can last for several months and still give a good, strong flavor. You can either freeze the dill as is or you can cut it before storing.
Storing as Is
To store the dill as is, remove the bottom part of the stem. Spread out the leaves on a white paper towel and look for any signs of worms or dirt. It is best to do this inspection under a bright light so that you don't miss anything. Then separate the leaves into different sections.
Each section should have roughly the amount of dill you use for each cooking session. This way, all you have to do is take out one portion and use it every time you need dill weed.
Once you have segregated the dill weed, put each section in plastic freezer storage bags and place them in the freezer.
Storing Cut Dill
You can also cut the dill weed and store it in the freezer. Avoid chopping it too finely, as this can cause a loss of flavor. First, wash the dill and shake off any excess water. Place between paper towels so that all the moisture is absorbed. You can also place the leaves on a rack for some time till the moisture evaporates. Avoid leaving the dill weed outside for too long, as the leaves can actually end up too dry.
Once the excess moisture has been removed, cut the leaves and separate it into portions. Store each portion in a freezer storage bag and keep in the freezer.
For sauces and soups try freezing dill in ice cube trays. Wash, dry. and chop dill, and place a little in the bottom of individual ice cube slots. Cover with water and freeze.

11 Things You'll Want to Do in Lancaster County Before the End of Summer
Posted by: Nancy Skee
End of summer?!! What?! We know some of you are buying school supplies – happily or otherwise – but there's still a lot of vacation time left to enjoy. Try these on for size in these last luscious weeks of the season:
July 28 – Main Street Mount Joy Cruisin' Cuisine. 11am – 2pm. See fun cars, eat from food trucks and dine at area restaurants. Fun!
August 4 – Mount Gretna Tour of Homes. Do you ever walk around at night when people have their lights on and you can see into their houses? I love looking in other people's homes (in a non peeping-tom way). On this tour you get to take a look into some of these great houses and poke around in their gardens without getting arrested. Get tickets in advance or at the tour.
August 4 – Rivertown Hops in Columbia. After the Tour of Homes hop down to Columbia (haha!) from 4-8pm. Your ticket gets you a sample glass for - what else - drink samples - throughout the hop and tastes of foods. You can also purchase bites from food trucks. If tickets are sold out ahead of time, they won't sell them at the door (obviously).
August 4 – PA Renn Faire opens this weekend!! And runs through October. Get your costumes together or go as you are. So many things to do there, and who wants to drive home after eating giant turkey legs and watching jousts? All wenches, knights, kings and queens love the convenience of a stay at Olde Square Inn. We're only 13 miles away.
August 10 – It's my birthday! AND there's Latin music, food, and dancing – including salsa lessons! – at Bube's Brewery, Club Alois.
August 11 – Lititz Craft Show. It's the big one, Alice! Crafters wait three years just to get a spot at this show. It's crowded and a lot of fun and there's a ton of stuff to look at and buy. Go poke around at the show, come back to the Inn,to swim because you'll be hot, then go across the street for dinner at Rosie's Tavola. (By the way, my favorite drink at Rosie's is Rosie's Petals. Try it!)
August 15 - 18 - Bookworm Frolic. Don't you just love books? So many books, so little time. This is a giant used-book sale, held rain or shine, with over 40,000 books from which to choose. Even I can't read all of those. Generally 9am-7pm, except Wednesday.
August 15 – 18 Fiber Festival. People into sewing knitting, quilting, paper crafts, Zentangle, crocheting, spinning, weaving, needle felting, hand embroidery and other fiber arts, you now have your OWN festival in downtown Lancaster. Lots of vendors, lots of classes, lots to see!
August 18 and 19 – Mount Gretna Outdoor Art Show. You've seen Gretna Homes and Lititz crafts, now go look at more art. You'll love walking the grounds and getting a start on your Christmas Shopping!
August 20 – 25 Elizabethtown Street Fair. Whaaaaaat? Already?! Be the first in your neighborhood to get a funnel cake, meet the fair queen, look at the livestock, and see who will have won the Blue Ribbon Apple Pie contest.
August 31 – Sept 2 Long's Park 40th Annual Art Festival. Okay, it's the last craft show in August. Honest. This is a juried craft show of fine arts and high-quality crafts and draws people from many, many states over. It also helps fund their summer concerts.
What will you pick to do before summer's end?

The Elijah List & Breaking Christian News
Jesus and His Bride Have the Same Spirit
Recently, I went into a vision and saw a beautiful woman full of golden light...and I also knew this light was her "fragrance". This fragrance was permeating out of her and into the atmosphere. It was a shield and covering, as well as an anointing from Heaven extending out. Then the Lord said, "This is My presence extending out of her and My presence is a fragrance."
The vision then shifted and I saw Jesus inside of His tomb. I realized I was taken back to the very Kairos moment in time when Jesus was laying in His tomb—and I was seeing Him as He arose from the dead. This same fragrance, full of golden light, was surrounding Him as He arose. Then the Lord said to me, "This is the same Spirit who raised Jesus Christ from the dead."
The beautiful woman in my vision is His Bride, and this fragrant light is His Spirit from Romans 8:11, "The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, He will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you."
This same Spirit who raised Jesus Christ from the dead will be pouring out of His Bride...it will extend out of us to shift atmospheres, cultures and nations. Many people who have "prayed" for a great increase in anointing will see that answered this year. Many bold and faith-filled prayers from the heart of God will be answered this year. Have you been asking the Lord for an increased anointing to heal the sick and yes, raise the dead? Keep asking in boldness as God is calling you to step out in faith and risk this year as you never have before.
He is anointing His Bride for "such a time as this" to reach the lost, the hurting, the broken and even the dead (both spiritually and physically). The question is: Will we really step out in those God-inspired words from Romans 8:11?
This verse could be studied out in-depth as there is so much revelation in it. He is awakening us to new life, anointing and equipping us for the "greater works" available as the same Spirit who raised Jesus Christ from the dead inside of us pours out—it is His fragrance, His presence, at work.
The Challenge: Greater Works
Recently, the Lord has been challenging me to "step up my faith" for the greater works. Before the new year, He asked me this question, "Will you have the faith to believe Thailand will be free from the sex-trade industry?" (For those who don't know, Thailand is my home country and where I was born.)
That question stopped me in my tracks...and caused me to ponder the significance of His question. Before flippantly wanting to say, "Yes, of course!" I felt to meditate on His question during the day. I thought of the magnitude of the strongholds in Thailand against His question to me. Thailand's population is 95% Buddhist with false gods worshipped everywhere, and Christianity is less than 1%. The sex-trade is a billion-dollar industry supported by many that won't simply shut down by itself without a huge interception at top levels to take it down. Hundreds of thousands of women, men and children (millions if you include human labor trafficking) are suffering horrific damage to spirit, soul and body...how do you start in repairing all the damage done for decades and with ancient strongholds holding the region for over two thousand years?
As I pondered all of this throughout the day, I had my answer to His question, "Will you have the faith to believe Thailand will be free from the sex-trade industry?"
That night I answered Him and said, "I want to." I felt peace in that answer and that it was the right one.
The very next morning, a pastor at our church, without even knowing any of my encounter with the Lord, gave me a prophetic word and said, "Julie, God is increasing your authority to change nations as you pray and as you go...they will shift" (paraphrased). And this also is a word for His Bride and a challenge to us, as I saw this same beautiful woman, this Bride, walking over Thailand.
With these recent experiences from the Lord, I know He is calling us to think much bigger and bolder this year "above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us" (Eph. 3:20). With these visions of Jesus and His Bride, He is calling us to the "greater works" and He is telling us to "write the vision down" and challenging those who see it: "And the LORD answered me: 'Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it'" (Hab. 2:2).
Our "yes" to Him activates our faith. It's time for those dreams, visions and passions to "come alive" inside of us as He breathes new life into us with "the same Spirit who raised Jesus Christ from the dead."
I hope this encourages, inspires and challenges you to boldly go after what God is envisioning you to do this year and the years ahead with HIM and His Spirit! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Lucky had a couple of downward days. After the Chemo on Monday Lucky was pretty lethargic and refused to eat again on Tuesday. Somewhat expected after chemo but concerning since the eating has declined since Saturday and she has lost weight. She doesn't seem to be excited about any food I offer. A little bite of chicken here, a little bite of yogurt there, that's about it.
Concerned, I called the Oncology Clinic the next day and took her in for a CBC (Blood Work). It came back normal and once again i try to remind myself to not jump the gun. It is starting to get even more expensive because I am being paranoid of something bad to happen. Since Lucky's amazing response to the first chemo, I am expecting the same to happen with every subsequent treatment, and this impatience has a price tag.
On Wednesday I decided to stop by a Vet Clinic close to my house and transferred all my dogs, 4 of them, to the new Vet Clinic. I thought it was important to have a Vet close, in case something happens. Emergency Rooms are extremely expensive, hence a close Vet makes sense. I can say that this is part of why I am jumping the gun sometimes.
I am afraid to miss the boat and end up in the Emergency Room and another $ 1000.oo bill. But being paranoid is adding up too, so my advise to you is: "Don't jump the gun, but don't miss the signs of when it is time to call for help either." A very difficult thing to do when you have a sick pet and want to do what's right.
Today was our first Visit with our New Vet. Sadie got checked for the usual yearly stuff and scheduled for a teeth cleaning. The Vet thought in addition to her arthritis and back issue she also has popping in one knee, which may indicate a partially or completely torn ACL. This is good new because there are surgical options to repair.
Lucky got checked for her lymph nodes, which I thought had gotten bigger and another CBC Blood Panel to sent to our Oncologist. Being a patient at the Vet Clinic close to home makes it more convenient, quicker and cheaper if Lucky needs a CBC done quickly. The results were immediately. As bad as I thought she was this is what she did when we got home. Not feeling so shabby after all, which always gives me hope after a downer day.

Planning a trip to the Riviera Maya? Don't skip visiting Tulum Ruins. In this post, I share my top tips on how to see the Tulum archaeological site as well as some other useful information to help you enjoy your trip.
How to get to Tulum Ruins
If you are staying anywhere along the Riviera Maya coastline it's really easy to get to Tulum Ruins as it is just set back off the main road connecting Tulum to Playa del Carmen and Cancun.
Getting to Tulum Ruins from Tulum Town:
The cheapest two options to get to the ruins from Tulum town are to take a Colectivo from the main street and then the driver "Ruines" (it is around 10-15 pesos), or rent a bike and cycle.
It's only a 10-minute bike ride from Tulum Town to Tulum Ruins and most of it is on a bicycle path.
If neither of these options works for you, then you can take a taxi for 80 pesos or rent a car and drive yourself.
Getting to Tulum Ruins from the Tulum Beach
If you are staying on the north side of the beach (Playa Paraiso/ Playa Pescadores area) then it may not be too far for you to walk. Just remember it gets very hot and often there is little to no shade on the roads in Tulum. I personally always prefer to rent a bike for the day in Tulum. The cost of renting a bike in Tulum is around $100 pesos per day (less than$5 USD).
If you are staying further down the beach road away from the Ruins then you can take a colectivo into the town. Get out at the top of the road by the 7/11 before they turn to go into town. From the 7/11 you can take the colectivo heading towards Playa del Carmen and ask for the "Ruines".
Alternatively, rent a bike or take a taxi. Taxis in Tulum can be pretty expensive. Expect to pay anything from $80 -$100 pesos…it really depends on how good your Spanish is!
If you are visiting the Yucatan Peninsular in Mexico it's really worth hiring a car and exploring the area. You can get a car for just $30 a day and there are so many places to explore in the area like the Pink Lakes which you can read about on Our Escape Clause. Just looking at the photos made me regret not having more time to explore the area!
Getting to Tulum Ruins from Playa Del Carmen or Cancun
Again you have a few options: Drive yourself (there is a huge carpark), take a taxi (this won't be cheap, or take any Colectivo to Tulum and ask them to drop you off at the ruins. There is no direct colectivo from Cancun to Tulum, instead, you will need to take a colectivo first to Playa del Carmen and then change and take a colectivo from Playa to Tulum). It's actually very easy so don't be put off by the change!
Although what most people do is do a Mayan Ruins Tour. This way you visit Coba Ruins and Tulum Ruins in a day on the same tour. This is probably the easiest and cheapest way if you want to see both sites and don't have your own transport.
Getting your ticket – Tulum Ruins entrance fee
The first time I visited Tulum Ruins it was actually my 4th Mayan Ruin Site in 3 months and I was really surprised at how different it felt to all of the others. It felt like I was walking down Main Street in Disney World.
I was a little taken aback and unsure where to go. I ended up accidentally buying a train ticket instead of a park ticket… Yes, that's right they even have a train that takes you 500m to the entrance. You can also buy your entrance ticket from the booth next to where you buy the train tickets. I would advise doing this as the que when you get down to the actual entrance was pretty long.
Top Tip: Don't pay for the train, walk the 500 meters if you want to save money.
Tulum Ruins entrance fee is 70 pesos per person
Entering the Mayan Archeological Site
When you enter the site there are two entrances once you are past the barriers. Go in through the second one. The views are much better as this is the first thing you see. I was pretty stunned and spent the longest time just staring at this view than I did anywhere else.
I'm much more of a beach person anyway, so this for me was perfection.
The whole time all I kept on thinking was how incredible it was and what it must have been like to actually live there.
Unlike the other sites I've been to (Copan, Tikal, Chichen Itza, and Coba) you are kept well away from the ruins. Mostly behind barriers in fact. It's the world away from Coba where I was able to climb up one of the mayan pyramids.
Tulum Ruins is on the Beach so you can take a swim
Yes, that's right, you can cool off half way round by taking a dip in the Caribbean sea. Where else can you do that! Although if you are in the area you need to go to some of these cenotes near Tulum, they really are out of this world!
Why visit Tulum Ruins
Just take a look at the pictures. With the backdrop of the Caribbean sea its hard to think of reasons why not to visit Tulum Ruins. Not only do you get stunning views, but you can also swim in the sea to cool off halfway round. It's really easy to get to (unlike close by Coba) and if you have children in a pushchair or have mobility issues it's also wheelchair friendly. That's a bit of a rarity and not something I have seen anywhere else.
There are so many more incredible ruins you should really try to visit if you have the time though. Take a read of this great post from Mexico Bites and Sights "12 ruins in Mexico you shouldn't miss" for more information.

I wrote a whole post to help you decide the best area in Tulum to stay with my recommendations depending on your budget. I also wrote a guide to my top boutique hotels in Tulum here.

Tensions rise over S Korea ship sinks near N Korea
About 40 sailors are missing after a South Korean navy ship sank near the border with North Korea, Yonhap news agency said citing military officials.
The patrol vessel, with 104 people aboard, sank after an unexplained explosion tore through its hull.
Several sailors also died, officials are quoted saying as divers prepared to return to the scene after daybreak.
South Korean officials played down earlier reports that it may have been the result of an attack by North Korea.
There was no sign of the North's military in the area where the ship sank, Yonhap said citing officials.
The military earlier said 58 sailors were rescued from near Baengnyeong island by several navy and coastguard vessels.
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, who had convened an emergency meeting of security officials, had ordered the military to focus on rescuing the sailors, Yonhap news agency reported.
The police force was put on heightened alert in the capital, Seoul.
The Cheonan, a 1,200-tonne corvette, began sinking about 2130 local time (1230 GMT) on Friday, after an explosion, the South Korean Navy said.
A South Korean presidential spokeswoman said it was premature to say what caused the Cheonan to sink.
Strained ties
There were reports that another South Korean ship had fired shots toward an unidentified ship in the North following the alleged torpedo attack.
One report, quoting the joint chiefs of staff, said the target turned out to be a flock of birds.
2009: One North Korean sailor killed in a naval battle
2002: Four South Korean sailors and an estimated 30 North Koreans killed in a naval battle
1999: At least 17 North Korean sailors believed killed in naval fire fight
1998: South Korea captures a North Korean mini-submarine in its waters
1996: A North Korean submarine runs aground in South Korean waters
The apparent clash comes at a time of tension between the two Koreas. International talks aimed at ending the communist nation's nuclear ambitions have been stalled for months.

> Halong Bay, Vietnam
Lifestyle Choices: Adventure Culture Experiential
Halong Bay is one of the major attractions of any tour to Vietnam.
It is a UNESCO World Heritage site, located just under 3 hours drive north east of Hanoi using the new motorway. The total area is vast, covering over 1500 kilometres, with over 1900 islets, mostly limestone with a tropical forest topping. Several of the islets are hollow, with enormous caves with incredible stalactites and stalagmites. It is said they have taken over 500 million years of formation in differing conditions.
Our 2 day (1 night) tours include a visit to one of the caves. Only 40 of the islets are inhabited, with traditional fishing villages, and again on the aforementioned tour, a visit to a village will be included.
There is no hard rule on the best time to visit. The summer months April to October can be hotter and more humid, and in this region, tropical storms or even the occasional cyclone are not unknown particularly in the August / September period. The Winter months of November to March can be noticeably colder, dryer, misty and rather atmospheric.
Clothing will be totally relaxed, so t-shirts, shorts (maybe longer trousers & hoodie style coat in the winter months or chilly evenings), trainer type shoes & swimwear for shore & sea excursions.
Chic Locations offer a variety of tours within the Halong Bay area.
This can be one day from Hanoi – it will give you a glimpse, but it will be a long day and the cruise itinerary is mainly travelled by the regional and especially Chinese tourists whose interest is equally shared with karaoke and shopping as much as the beauty of the area. Perfectly doable but would not be our suggestion, on so many levels.
The Two day (one night) tours are much more popular with European visitors as you travel to slightly more remote areas, and have a much greater feeling of escapism and appreciation of the scenery.
The Three day (two nights) option generally allow you to travel further out and /or have more time for relaxation on board and local activities.
Explore the Waters of Halong Bay in Style with Bhaya Cruises!
Our preferred partner in this region is Bhaya Cruises. They offer a good variety of boats depending on your requirements and are particularly experienced in dealing with the curious European traveller. Within their fleet, they have Bhaya Classic boats with either 15 or 20 cabins. Classic Premium which is more intimate with either 3 or 7 cabins, and is our particular preference for their individuality. Even more exclusive is The Bhaya Legend with just one to three cabins and are perfect for private charters. Top of the range in terms of cabin quality are the Au Co luxury cruises with 32 cabins.
Consistent within the Bhaya fleet is that all cabins are outside location with sea view, either from port window or balcony, en-suite shower and WC, all meals & soft drinks served in the restaurant, open lounge area, shore excursions subject to weather conditions. Wines, alcoholic and soft drinks not included but can be purchased. You usually embark around lunch time and disembark mid-morning. Transfers are included to and from your Hanoi hotel, arranged on a private basis to give you maximum flexibility. We can also arrange air travel from Hanoi to Halong Bay or vice versa. A short40-minute scenic flight but expensive and limited time saving given the extra transfer and check-in time.
A 2 day (1 night) extension tour from Hanoi will start £398 per person | Includes private transfers to and from Hanoi | Full Board | Shore excursions
One day tours or 3 days (2 nights) tours can be quoted on request

> Vietnam – Some Touring Suggestions
Vietnam is a fantastic country to explore, with so much rich culture, fascinating ancient and more modern history, and scenic contrasts. Weather wise it is split into three sections, each with their own climate pattern. The north, essentially Hanoi/ Halong Bay can be cold and misty particularly in the months of November to early February, so you need to pack accordingly. It starets to warm up from mid February onwards, and the spring months are generally very pleasant, as is September. July & August can be hot and humid.

Our hotel suggestion would either be the nicely boutique Nam Bo hotel, just 8 rooms and right in the heart of the city facing the river or the larger Victoria hotel which is on the outskirts of town, just 6 minutes by water taxi.

I was at the STATION BAR in Katoomba yesterday,
Came across Casey's Beers for the first time, a new brewery to me which is located in Lawson in the Blue Mountains,
I was told the brewer is Pat Casey who did and may stil run a home brew shop in Western Sydney The beer is called Lounge, it's a slightly dry. pilsner inspired ale at 5.2%,
hopped with Ella, Tettnang and Saaz.
It is good to see another brewery coming on line locally and I will have to try and keep an eye on its progress
Murrays Ronny Dunkel, Dunkelweizen 5.5%. A Bavarian Style Dark Wheat beer, which had a nice touch of sweetnes so I had a couple.
Akasha IPA Hopsmith IPA 7.2% Hopsmith is a 'West Coast' style IPA and "all about the hops. Triple dry-hopped, the all American grown hop varieties are allowed to shine with citrus, pine, fruity notes and a nice dry, bitter finish. "
Not a bad IPA but a bit heavy on hops for my tastes
@akashabrew @murraysbrewing
As far as I can find out neither the Station Bar nor Caseys is on twitter but both are on Facebook

McNally's Ross Stream Camps are located on Chemquasabamticook Stream, also known as Ross Stream, T12-R13, Map 61 in the DeLorme's Atlas. We are situated between two other large outfitters that also offer bear hunting over bait.
Bait sites were issued by the North Maine Woods, Inc., on a first come first serve basis many years ago before we purchased the camps. When we bought the camps 17 years ago we were unable to get any more sites, therefore we are limited to 15 bear bait sites at the most.
Bear hunters usually find a camp to hunt out of by going to the large sportsmen's shows around the country. Because we are limited to the number of sites we have, we feel we cannot, in good conscience, take more than ten hunters per season. Therefore, it would be cost prohibitive for us to attend the shows. That is bad for us but good for you and here is why. The bear baiters that surround us have hundreds of sites. Some of the sites are fifty to seventy miles from their camps, or up to a two hour drive one way. Say you are hunting with them, you get a bear, or it gets dark, you are still in your stand waiting for your guide who is busy picking up other hunters before he gets to you. Now you head for camp; a two hour drive away. Maybe you will get to eat supper before midnight and maybe you won't.
Now, lets say you are hunting with us. You get a bear, we pick you up a few minutes after dark, shortly you are back to your cabin where a hot shower is waiting. Up in the main lodge, Regina has a nice roast beef cooking. You can come up and stuff yourself while we hang your bear. After dinner you sit down in the main lodge relaxing and telling everyone about your hunt. If you were hunting with the other guide, you would still be riding hard for the camps. There are just as many Maine black bear per square mile here as anywhere else, maybe more due to the fact that we are way off the beaten path. It is your choice.
We here at McNally's Ross Stream Camps want your Maine black bear hunt over bait to not only be successful, but we want you to have a real good time so we put a lot of work into it.
Maine law allows guides to start baiting one month before the season begins and that is when we go to work. Roads and foot paths have to be cleared of alders, blow downs and debris. Bait sites have to be set up for the season, shooting lanes checked for bushes that have gotten in the way since last year and stands put in place.
Baiting is done every other day, usually the bears start hitting the baits within three days. They come very carefully most every day as long as nothing spooks them. They know my scent as I have been around these bait sites for 17 years now doing the chores. By the day you arrive, we hope to have the bears fat and happy. The trick is to get you into a tree stand without them getting spooked. A lot of money and labor goes into these hunts before you arrive.
We will also have a couple of bait sites for coyotes if you want to hunt after you get your bear.
Fall fly fishing for brook trout peaks in September. If you are a fisherman, bring your gear. We have lots of canoes of all sizes and kayaks available at the camps.
McNally's Ross Stream Camps have been offering Maine bear hunts for more than 20 years. The same sites get used year after year. The bear are familiar with them and it is not uncommon to find fresh bear sign at a site the first time we walk into the area. They are hoping that the doughnuts will show up soon! The picture below is of Les Gardner, who guided here at McNally's for over 50 years and was part owner when we bought the camps. This Maine black bear weighed 450 lbs and was shot a few years back.
Our success rate is on a par with other bear camps. We just take fewer hunters and do less advertising.
We hope you will want to join us for a trophy Maine black bear hunt,
Thank You,
