TRAVEL DIARY: DHARMA TRACKS Across AMERICA (7/16-8/26) & WASHINGTON RETREAT (8/9-14)

[Jundo]

Hey Guys,

Made it to Dosho's place in upstate New York. We had a little informal sit of 30 minutes. I was very wobbly, as jet lag seemed to hit me. Please remember and come sit with our Zazenkai in the morning here. KellyRok will be here to sit too.

Hi Oheso,

I felt your presence!

We will be back briefly from the afternoon of Thursday July 31st to Saturday night August 2nd, staying at the Westside YMCA. Sunday, August 3rd, I will be in New Jersey where Daijo has kindly arranged for me to sit and speak with Genki Kahn Roshi's Sangha there. Maybe we can meet somewhere in there.

Gassho, Jundo

gassho Jundo, I was working at the National Museum of the American Indian at 1 Bowling Green Thursday and Friday last week. You guys must've walked past the building at the foot of Broadway- hope Leon got to see it's magnificent front entrance. Will you be coming back to NYC? when/ where? travel safely,

Hello Jundo,

Jundo,

Neat-o! Thanks for all the updates.
It's nice to think of Leon in the future, how he will always remember this crazy trip with his Dad when he was a kid.

Hey Guys,

In the Big Apple, where we rode that Staten Island Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty, ate Pizza, visited the 9-11 Memorial (which I explained to Leon who really did not know much about the details) and saw one of the most amazing modern dance companies out there ... Pilobolus. As a matter of fact, got tickets for another program by them tomorrow night. Leon really liked them too.

Tomorrow, heading to the Lower East Side Tenement Museum and the Jewish Museum to expose Leon to that part of my roots. Also, Chinatown because the noodles are good.

I enjoyed it too. And I agree about the sleeping position, but you can do that kind of thing when you are young! Now we have to work at it.
