Reflections – from the World Tour

Ft. Myer’s Airport Sunday April 4, 2010 6:45 A.M.- stepping out onto the tarmac – I take a look back – and over at Jacque . . . . who smiles - as we board & begin this incredible Lecture Tour circuit – that will takes us around the world – to over 20 different countries – and thousands of interested peoples.

It’s warm as we leave America – bound for Columbia – on the first of many international connecting flights and destinations.

Jacque is comfortable, and is never the least bit nervous or apprehensive – as he busies himself pouring over locations, dates, and contacts.

We made it to Columbia. Flight was fine of course a short one but you can’t go wrong in business class. Jacque’s age does come with some perks. A lot of luggage to deal with for carry on, two small but heavy suitcases, laptop, filled pocket book and Jacque. I feel like a work mule. I am tempted to dump one suitcase already!

We have a 5 star hotel for 2 days courtesy of the university then when we start paying we are moving to one more our style and price. We could all move into this one. It is bigger than my house.

The guys who picked us up at the airport are wonderful. We have been spending as much private time as possible with the Zeitgeist members and supporters and should be able to do more of this as we don’t leave here until the 11th.

We wish to thank all of you who have been so supportive, and welcoming of this Lecture Tour. We appreciate each and everyone of you – and are excited to be able to finally meet you, and spend some time together.

Lecture will begin here in just a few hours! More updates coming soon!

We have finished the lecture on Wednesday April 7th. The audience seemed very interested. We deeply appreciate the help of Gabriel Vivas who did the translation and is working tireless with to translate almost everywhere we go.

There were many questions that ran overtime, as usual, so we tried to accommodate them and about 40 people met with us in our hotel and we continued the conversation there into the evening. This in fact has been going on each night since we have been here, we have been meeting with groups of people privately who want to know more about this directions.

We did several interviews with newspapers, tv and radio and of course what is most important to us we again met in the evening with many Zeitgeist members to discuss this direction. We are pleasantly surprise with the amount of people who have worked so hard to bring this visit and lecture about .
