There are many such tales of Seven League Boots...magic footwear that allow the wearer to traverse great distances with magical speed... This excerpt is from a French version of Sleeping Beauty. Here in America, we have Dorothy and her magical ruby slippers that can whisk her away home to Kansas...

Blogging and My Wide Blue Seas...
If you had asked me a year ago if I thought that this was going to become so important to me this writing for a public audience on the internet I would have laughed...I mean... who'd read it? and how would I manage the site and stuff like that?... Well I guess the blogging maxim is true..
Blog it and they will come...
I want to thank the loyal readers that check me out once in a while... and the friends that I have made through this medium... I am gratified and humbled by the support and affirmation that I have received...
You all are stuck with me I am hopelessly hooked on this... Adding the pictures made it impossible to give up, Its addictive!
This pic is one that I promised to post, of the little cove at Laupahoehoe Point. It looks so non tropical hard to believe that this is Hawaii...
Aloha all catch you tomorrow.
