Speakers Cruise Free - Doc Brown in a Brazilian Christmas dinner!

The fantastic aspect of Brazilian culture is that people are so incredibly open to other cultures. They will truly welcome you into their homes even if you don't speak Portuguese. If you do speak Portuguese, if you're willing to invest the time you will never want for freinds or a home to stay in.

I've been to Brazil before but this is the first time most of it's free. All because of Speaker Cruise Free by Daniel Hall one of the best investments I ever made!

Paolo helps me cruise Brazil free!

Paolo is a freind of mine here in Sao Paolo. He and I are going to see if we can get my investing courses marketed in Portuguese here in Brazil.

What I want you to understand is that my doctorate has nothing to do with my guest speaking free cruises out of Santos Brazil this Friday on Royal Caribbean's Splendour of the Seas. I am cruising free because my hobby is speaking foreign language.

I speak Portuguese and that is why I am cruising free. So don't think for a second that you need some advanced degree like my doctorate in finance to do what I am doing... Anybody who is comfortable speaking in a fun way to the public can do this.

Merry Christmas,

Speakers Cruise Free & Hall Family Sing Jingle Bells (badly) 2008

Merry Christmas Eve - Eve

Boy, do I have a hilarious (a-hem) holiday treat you. The whole Hall family attempted to sing Jingle Bells... we had a BLAST. Doesn't sound too pure but we did have fun.

Introducing everyone in the video.

Playing the piano, my aunt Mimi. Seated to the right of her with the Santa hat is my little Jem. Seated to the left of the piano is my Grandpa Bob. Behind Grandpa is my lovely (and extremely good-natured) wife Lanette. Then me. To the left of me is my son Jamey and to the left of Jamey is my son Anthony. Our Standard Poodle "Roxanne" is at Mimi's feet.

Enjoy... and Happy Holidays.

Speakers Cruise Free Roaming Report; Restaurante Tierra Firme

There's only one restaurant in the massive airport of Panama City. Begs to wonder what local political corruption could give the owner such a monopoly.

I'm enroute to Sao Paolo where I will descend to the Port of Santos to cruise free speaking on Royal Caribbean International's Splendour of the Seas known for it's "brass & glass!"

A Money Making Shopping Cart?

A part of the service I provide for my Speakers Cruise Free Coaching Club members is help with their businesses. To read about all the benefits of Club membership check out this page http://www.speakerscruisefree.com/clubfaq.html . You see for those that are interested we do so much more than helping you get approved to cruise free.

Although I help folks with many aspects of their business almost always I stress the importance of building an online business. Consequently, I help many of my members start or profit more from their Internet business. An important component of making that happen is having a full featured, reliable shopping cart.

To help you in evaluating the shopping cart systems out there I have published an ebook by Tom Antion and myself entitled:

How To Choose A Shopping Cart That Makes You Money

Double click on the link above or copy an paste this URL into a browser:

http://www.speakerscruisefree.com/ShopCart.pdf

This resource is just chock-full of the exact information you need for making an informed decision when choosing a cart. I typically relayed a bunch of the information in this ebook during coaching sessions so it made sense to make this information available in written form, if for no other reason than to save coaching time. So even if you are not yet a member of the Speakers Cruise Free Coaching Club (why not?) you need to check out this resource if you want to build a truly world-class Internet business.

Speaker Cruising Free: Another Happy Client

I'm just so proud of my students. Yesterday the lovely Kimberly Smith sent me a video of her experiences with my program. Thought you'd might want to see it...



Why don't you join Kimberly? Here's the place to do it:

Eternal Rome Through Civitavecchia

After we departed Drubronik, Croatia we were at sea for a day at which time we sailed through the Messina Strait.

(If you are still not approved to cruise free I suggest you get going with it ASAP http://www.speakerscruisefree.com/cruise-free.html)

The Strait of Messina is the narrow section of water between the eastern tip of Silicy and the southern tip of Calabria in Italy.

Early the next morning we docked in the port of Civitavecchia. Civitavecchia is the ancient central Italian port that serves the city of Rome which is about 80 kms distant.

To say I was excited about visiting Rome is an understatement. Both my maternal grandparents were born in Northern Italy and were very well traveled. I remember my Grandfather (with whom I was very close) telling me stories about Rome and his visits to the Vatican. But to actually be there and see it... I was in a state of awe.

Our first stop was the Vatican. Here is a picture the entrance to the Vactican Museum. The Vatican is its own sovereign nation where the Pope is its temporal leader. Interestingly, the Vatican is the only counrty in the World where Latin is still the official langauage.

This is the courtyard leading into the Vatican museum. You can see Arnaldo Pomodoro "Sphere Within a Sphere" sculpture. Its actually a fascinating sight. The center globe remains stationary while the outer globe rotates around it. It is supposed to symbolize how the church remains the immovable center of the world.















I loved the ceilings of the Vatican museum. This is a rather narrow hall lined with priceless art.



















A view of the Papal gardens.















There is an obelisk in the center of St. Peter's Square which marks the spot where St. Peter was crucified upside down for being a believer. He requested this because he did not want to be crucified in the same manner as Christ out of respect. In any event, this piece of art shows the transport of the obelisk from the Valley of Kings in Egypt up the Nile. A picture of the obelisk is below.







What I find curious is how and why there is an ancient and pagan Egyptian obelisk in the center of St. Peter's Square. And why use to it to commemorate such a sacred place?











Michelangelo's Pieta in St. Peter's Basilica. Notice it is behind glass that's for protection from further attack. On May 21, 1972 (Pentecost Sunday) a mentally disturbed geologist named Laszlo Toth walked into the chapel and attacked the Virgin with a geologist's hammer while shouting "I am Jesus Christ."

By the way, Italians are always very quick to point out the proper pronunciation of Michelangelo's name which is not "Michael" Angelo as Americans are prone to saying. It is "Meekel" Angelo. Speaking of Michelangelo you will notice that there are no pictures here of his famous Sistine Chapel which is gorgeous. We did visit the chapel but there are no photographs allowed. I asked why because you can freely take pictures anywhere else on Vatican grounds. I was told that in there are restricted photos for copyright reasons which apparently were sold to a Japanese TV network NHK in exchange for funding of restoration of the Chapel. You can read the whole story here.


I did find this public domain photo of the "Creation of Adam" panel of the ceiling compliments of the Web Gallery of Art.








This is a photo of the enthroned St. Peter. It is custom to touch the feet of the statute as you walk be and ask for St. Peter's blessing.














Not really the best photo but I was most interested in the the depiction of the Holy Spirit in the form of a stained glass dove above the High Altar. Here's the thing: it's wingspan is 6 feet across. BTW the Pope is the only one who can say Mass at the High Altar. However, there are Masses being said at one of the many chapels within the Basilica most all day.








The baptismal font within the St. Peter's















An interior view of the doumo. In any event, my visit to the Vatican was a deeply moving and (dare I say) spiritual experience. They say that the Basilica was built with such great beauty to represent heaven on earth. After having been there I can see that...








A picture with one of the Swiss Guards. Their colorful uniform design compliments of Michelangelo.













External view of the Basilica.















St. Peter's Square with obelisk and exterior of the Basilica. From here we headed back to the bus en route the Coliseum. We saw some cool stuff along the way (below).












The Mausoleum of Hadrian, usually known as the Castel Sant'Angelo, is a towering cylindrical building inRome, initially commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The building was later used as a fortress and castle, and is now a museum.









The Tiber River.















The Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II (National Monument of Victor Emmanuel II) is a monument to honor Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy.












Same. Supposedly the Allies called this monument the "Typewriter" when Rome was liberated during WWII. Many Romans took to the name.












Exterior of the Coliseum.














The first Triumphal Arch built by Constantine to commemorate his victory in liberating the city from his co-emperor Maxentius in a bloody civil war.
