Travel time through... |

| We travel forward in time, every minute, every hour. But time passes at different rates, depending on what we are doing and our state of mind, and in a way we can travel backward too. Consider these thoughts: | |
| Literature is a window into the past. Mark Twain, the journals of Lewis and Clark, Jules Verne - pick a writer, open a book, return to another century. Take another look at Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea and let Verne's fascinating work of fiction bring you back a hundred years. |

A rchaeology, one of our hobbies, is a strong link to our collective past. As we carefully scrape away the earth with my trowel, we travel back in time, year by year, century by century. We've worked at a Stone Age site, numerous Greek and Roman sites, a castle in Wales, a pueblo in the American Southwest, a post-classic Maya excavation in Belize, and surveyed mysterious Easter Island. Experience this and other archaeology with us. |
|
| The natural world around us affords another kind of time travel. Hike in an old growth forest. The trees, with their many centuries of life, move through time more slowly than we do. When we walk among them we are looking into the past. Share some of our hiking experiences here. | |
"Why do you spell it Gallifrey?", asked Sarah. Well, until then I didn't know the word: gallimaufry, "a hodgepodge, a jumble, a confused medley". So ramble through this gallimaufry. For some years it has been the best place in the world to learn about Jules Verne's Nautilus or the Winans cigar ships, one of the best sources for information about the Confederate submarine Hunley, and you may discover another treasure or two. Enjoy! |
