A little suggestion for all those who live across the ocean from Europe. USA, Canada, Central and South America.
The best time to chat on letmestayforaday chat is in the morning or afternoon. You might catch Ramon online.
The time differences doesn’t allow us to chat at night. Mostly everyone in Europe might be asleep by then.
Try it out. He’s a nice guy to chat with and so are the other chatters. You might find a spare moment in your workday or on weekends.

I tried to join the official church service at noon - but I couldn'd - the church simply was overcrowded. there were so many people waiting outside of the church - every face I looked into told me of deep mourning and sadness. Tonight there will be a candlelight-chain at the shores of the Rhein-river. Travellers like Ramon make the world a little bit better because of meeting other people and being open-minded towards different cultures and opinions.

Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
The room was filled with men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again
And when the papers all were signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful prayers were prayed
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing round and round
And guns and swords and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground
Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war

Thank you so very much for the song by John Lenon. I am so grateful. I know a some about tragedies and hard times. My Dad was in the Army AirCorp during WWII and was also a military during Pearl Harbor. He told me the horror stories. I went through horrible times during the Invasion on Panama "Operation Just Cause" 1989. My brothers and cousins fought in Viet Nam. My firends and relatives fought in the Persian Gulf War.
This song will be a world wide message to the people. I hope they listen and understand. Thank you very much.

The song title is Imagine by John Lennon:
there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
imane all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Ramon, that is a very beautiful picture of the Twin Towers. It is so calm and serene. It bought tears to my eyes. I feel sorry and sad for the children who will never see their mother or father again. For those who will never see their sister, brother, son or daughter again all because certain people can’t understand and respect the value of innocent human lives. So many questions run through our heads. Sometimes we never get the right answers. Generation after generation go through terrible tragedies worldwide, and we will never understand why.
I only wish, hope and pray that this world comes to its senses. And that all the human race can live in peace and harmony. I always remember the song by The Beatles, I’m not sure if the title is “Remember all the People”. I heard that song many years ago, and it touched my heart profoundly. I think everyone should listen to it.
Please try to help if you can by following the links that mm_in_md posted.
To all the people who send their prayers and their condolences I give my thanks. It’s nice to know that there are nice people in this world too.
God Bless you all.

We also saw these same people yesterday singing and laughing in the street !! My god , they should get out the enola Gay ....and NOW!
What chance does the whole world have against these sick in the head terrorists, just what do they hope to achieve ?????

Thanks Ramon,
For that beautiful picture of those lost buildings; symbols of democracy, freedom and human rights. The buildings are lost but those terms can never be broken. Lets be strong and think of all those families, neighbours and so on.
Last night I was talking to a friend of mine who I had called as I couldn't sleep because my thoughts went to the American people over and over again. I needed to talk about the disaster. I had been watching television for hours and I was stunned. And I still am. It is terrible, unbelievable. I am speachless, but I need to get rid of those pictures that keep on coming up in my mind. That friend told me not to think of those people who were in the plains, but I am sorry, I can't help thinking of the minutes before crashing and all things that happened afterwards... If American people will visit this site in future, please know that you all have my deepest condoleances. And now... nothing more, just silence. Silence from the bottom of my heart...

Dear David Brown (posting below),
I wish I could write more about the personal things that go on in my mind (and believe me, that's a lot), but I only have limited time to spent writing my reports. I even am days behind in reporting. Even my way of writing a normal report can already take one hour. I think the more emotional insights can be read in the Letmestayforaday-book, to be released after I finish.

Hi Ramon,
nice work! keep it up. i don't plug in every day to keep up, so maybe that explains it, but....... I get the feeling that your reports miss a little of the personal touch.....the inner deeper feelings that go through your mind. I used to do a lot of travelling about 10 years ago (i'm 35 now). I left ireland, and went through europe and south east asia, finally settling down in the netherlands. I kept diaries of my journeys and filled them with not only the things I saw and did, but also how felt - the ecstacy moments and the sad. it's not a critisism so don't get on my back - write according to the way you are, like I did. and maybe as I said it's because i don't check in every day that I miss the ups and downs of your story. or maybe it's not the purpose (correctly) of this journey to expose the open, vulnerable side of you to the internet world. what do you think?
Cheers,
David
