To new blog readers from a new blog writer

Despite all my efforts to re-sequence the "Accompanying Apollo" blogs that follow, it seems impossible to make the linear record more reader-friendly. Blogspot records all blogs in the chronological order in which they were entered, so that to all intents and purposes they appear backwards to the unsuspecting reader. Very Alice in Wonderland. So, in order to help readers travel aound the world EASTwards, as we did, I suggest you scroll down to the last entry (Accompanying Apollo) first. Then scroll up to the second entry ("More of India") and beyond it to "Accompanying Apollo 2"--read these two entries in tandem. Scrolling up once more will bring you to "Accompanying Apollo 3" for Western Australia entries; repeating the upward trip to "Accompanying Apollo 4" will bring you to New Zealand, and thence--finally--you can reach
what seems to be the beginning and is actually the end--our ordeal in Japan on our final leg homewards.
So much for trying to be clever as Apollo. I never could keep my horses' heads in the right direction. Of course I could re enter the whole story backwards, but life is too short for the monumental effort that would entail. So think of it as a puzzle, and enjoy!
