Monday, 26 October 2009. Hiking in the Torres Del Paine National Park, Chile. For those of you to whom we said we’re off for 18 months of summer, you can begin laughing now… for those of you who claimed we’re flashpacking, read on and weep…. Sit back, get a glass of wine or cup of tea (how we missed tea! So, we’d read in guide books how the best way to explore the Torres Del Paine Nacional Park was to do a 3-4 day hike, called the W, due to the shape the route makes across the park. Basically, there is n...

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 ...

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.

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...

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...
