Amazon.com does not ship to Canada. Good luck with your book sales.

I just watched a new movie called "Chef" this weekend. There was a lot of "tweeting" on Twitter....somewhat funny movie.

I mentioned the book on Twitter and gave a link to the Amazon site.

I can ship you a copy to Canada if you like. Let me know. I will check on the postage...

Stay well. Ara and Spirit

That would be great. Do you use PayPal?

Yes, that is all I use. I will get back to you tomorrow as I have to go to the Post Office. I will find out roughly the cost of shipping.
Can you e-mail me your address. You can e-mail me from our Journal www.theoasisofmysoul.com [enjoy the videos!!!]
Stay well. Ara and Spirit

Ara,

Just ordered my paperback copy on Amazon this afternoon, I'm excited for it to arrive.

Hope to run into you sometime in the deserts around Moab too. I'm glad my state has been so good to you. (-:

All the info is on our Journal. Yes on PP. The shipping is $12 instead $5 locally. It would be $32 all together if I shipped it autographed. My PP address is aragureghian@yahoo.com which is my mailing address. Let me know if I can help further.



Rolling this ball of Life... CO

"It's a very gentle, flowing tale, a nice mix of autobiography and travelogue. Less introspective than I anticipated, I'm having a hard time putting it down actually. The fun you had writing it certainly jumps off the page. It's poignant but not sad."

Yes, it is a comment on our Book. One of them. I cannot be the judge of it, I can only read what others think of it.

We are still in Gunnison, a few more days and on we will go once again “in the middle of nowhere”. We have had the opportunity to scout the areas and considering that 80% of the land here is public, the choices are greater than ever.

We have had Friends camp with us and their huge and beautiful 30,000lb custom built Unimog! I kind of felt like David and Goliath were on display. They fed us for two days, it was such a treat not having to cook! Always is.

A ride up and down the Black Canyon of the Gunnison from which I made a video. A couple more visits into town and best of all the weather is cooperating while staying cool as we like it with low 30's in the mornings. Perfect.

Enjoy the videos, the photos and if you read our Book let us know what you think. Spirit wants to know...



Till next time.

Stay well.

Lake San Cristobal. Reconnecting with Nature. CO


“Read your book over the weekend…absolutely touched my heart & spirit!!! It is one of those rare books that make you “feel” in all the right areas of your emotions and life…thank you for sharing your travels and life with all of us!!! I felt at every page that I was right there, seeing, hearing and smelling…"

“Freedom on Both Ends of the Leash”

Thank You Chris...

I know, cheap marketing but that is all I can do, afford rightly so.

We headed to Lake San Cristobal for a week on it's cliffs taking in the view and the lack of Internet! The camping was not free this time around but the sights are worth the $15 a night. Five nights actually.

Lake City has been in a total black out with Internet and I must say it was funny to walk the streets a bit, or sit on one of the benches watching the world go around, while hearing the tourists out loud wondering what they were “now going to do?”. Comments were as “will have to walk around”, “will have to take in the sights” and on and on.

The Editor of the local Newspaper even wrote on their Facebook page that the town's sidewalks were buzzing! A sign of the times... Life without Internet must be the worst punishment I think today's society could endure. I personally know a few that will have the shakes [true story] if their Internet goes down... SAD.

The area of course was familiar to us. It is a bit of a retreat just being and finding again ourselves before heading North one more time.

More photos and comments in our Journal. Enjoy.



Till next time.

Stay well.

Ordered and paid on PayPal.

A Room with a View. Colorado.

This room is actually millions of acres. Free BLM land South of Salida and hundreds of miles of unpaved roads, mostly not on any maps that I can find. Perched at 9200 feet, it is sweater and wool hat time in the evening till morning when finally the rays slowly emerge from behind the eastern horizon and warm us up. No sense getting up too early.

I have finally learned the weather pattern here which starts with blue skies and by noon almost black at times the clouds play their odd particular shapes confronting each other with often a nice downpour to cool us of even more.

How are we ever going to leave this space?

On the Fourth of July we attended a wedding in Colorado Springs. Some dear Friends or ours tied the knot. We started then heading North. It did not last too long! We made a U-turn at Castle Rock and now again back here exactly where we started. Nothing unusual for us to change our direction in an instant. It is called the freedom of time.

The photos on our Journal will prove our logic! How could we not?



Till next time.

Stay well.

Ara, just finished your book over the weekend, fittingly, while camping. Ranked and left you a review on Amazon too, I'll repost the review here as well.

Thank you so much for this tale. I enjoyed every page, and I intend to visit several of the locations you mentioned. I especially want to visit Terlingua and ride River Road, as well as the bakery in Polebridge.

I hope you're well, and toss a stick for Spirit for me a time or two. (-:

REPOSTED FROM AMAZON

Ara's tale is, quite simply, mesmerizing. It's hard to quantify exactly what type of book this is -- at times it reads like a travelogue and you find yourself wanting to highlight routes on a map, make hotel reservations, brush up on your photography and strike out to follow in the humble footsteps (tire tracks?) of Ara and his beloved Spirit. Other times it's an introspective and almost painfully abstract dissertation on the human condition, delving into our acceptance of a work-a-day routine, reviving our faith in the kindness of strangers, and reminding us that a rich, dark seam of malignance can still be found in people. And from beginning to end it's a tale of grief and acceptance written from a truly heartfelt and honest perspective very few of us could find within ourselves.

Thank You for very much. This is very kind of you. I am glad the reviews are favorable. It has been a long Journey, yet, I feel it has only started.
Stay well. Ara and Spirit

Absolutely stunning.
