On The Road: February 2008
http://drewanderin.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 29, 2008. The Land of Zeal. We've arrived safe and sound in New Zealand. It is great to be back! This place is so gorgeous. I'm seriously debating whether to put it back on the top of my personal rankings of World's Most Beautiful Places. It was seated there for a long time, then got surpassed by Alaska last year. We'll see where it stands a month from now, but it is so so nice. Mirage (Lancer) with a guaranteed buyback arrangement from the place from which we bought it. We'll get a ...

Sunday, June 22, 2008. Cuzco and Machu Picchu. Countryside) and made hornos (ovens) out of dirt and cooked potatoes underground. Unfortunately, ours was the worst one and it fell apart. And one day, to our chagrin we had to sing a song in Spanish in front of the school. While Drew had the job of yelling out "Vamanos! And many women still wear the traditional clothing of the area; big skirts, round top hats, and always carrying a colorful satchel (or a child) on their backs. The city has been getting ...

http://drewanderin.blogspot.com/2008/07/friends-strikes-and-guinea-pigs.html
Wednesday, July 9, 2008. Friends, Strikes, and Guinea Pigs. Skyler and Kelly at "Las Ventanas" (Windows) near Cajamarca. The city of Cajamarca is beautiful. Plaza de Armas (main square) in Cajamarca. San Francisco Church, Cajamarca. The City of Cajamarca from above. 2nd grade and 6th grade, respectively at Davy College. 4th grade at Joyas Para Christo. We had some time to see some sites around town, including "Las Ventañas" or windows. They are actually tombs of noble people. PS Guinea Pig is gross!

On The Road: May 2008

Thursday, May 29, 2008. The landscape - Cerro. Now that I've professed my love for Argentina, here are some more specific thoughts and observations on the country. Which is essentially two slices of cake with dulce. Sandwiched in between - not unlike a Ding Dong. In general, the food, particularly the beef, is good in Argentina, if not widely varied. The food - an asado. They also have some good tempranillos. Which is a more spicy red. The big red wine discovery here, though, was malbec. It's fruity but ...

Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Thank you thank you thank you. Cheers to good ol' USA, what a grand country! Here are some summaries of my thoughts I am having about our trip. Top Ten Experiences (not necessarily in order):. Teaching in different schools with the Global Library Project, seeing the kids excitement and learning about their lives (especially with Kelly and Skyler). Riding bikes to remote villages in Laos, meeting a group of women and laughing with them despite the language barrier. I also want to g...

On The Road: January 2008

Monday, January 28, 2008. Each Day an Adventure. Sawadee from Chiang Mai! Each day has been an adventure. We had a wonderful time on Ko Tao, which is a small island on the Gulf of Thailand (the east side). The island is hilly, and strewn with big boulders of all shapes and sizes. From a distance, the island is covered in palm trees and scattered bungalows overlooking the sea. Ko Tao from the boat. Although the beaches were small and forgettable, the coral reef around the island was superb! I think that h...

On The Road: November 2007
http://drewanderin.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 27, 2007. Just wanted to give a quick update on our whereabouts and plans so people know where we are. We're back in Kathmandu at the moment. Took a brutal 8-hour bus ride from Pokhara today. Tomorrow we face an even more brutal 9-hour bus ride to Dhunche/Syabresi - half of it on unpaved roads. Not psyched. These are the tougher days of travel; it is not all easy. Take care and please give us a shout if you're reading this. Sunday, November 25, 2007. Trekking in the Annapurna Sanctuary.

On The Road: December 2007
http://drewanderin.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 30, 2007. I have one more story I want to tell about Nepal. Sheesh. I can't seem to let that place go! I am a kid person, I love them. Sometimes I relate better to kids, than I do to adults, and it breaks my heart to think about a suffering child. I felt the desire to help in some way, but I didn't know how. There is also the problem of money, I can give some money, but know I can't support her for the next 10 years. We've. After talking with the English man, Andy, I call the orphanage&#...

On The Road: The Santa Cruz Trek and ebook in Pariantana
http://drewanderin.blogspot.com/2008/07/santa-cruz-trek-and-ebook-in-pariantana_23.html
Wednesday, July 23, 2008. The Santa Cruz Trek and ebook in Pariantana. Valley on Santa Cruz Trek. On the top of the Pass. Views on the Last Day. But it was fun and silly and the kids had pride in their eyes showing us their homes. For me as an outsider, it was a powerful experience. Can you hear the pig squealing? A book of my very own! I have always wanted a book." It is one of his first, which is quite heart breaking in some ways, but it also feels good to know he will have at least one. After my trip ...
