Thursday, November 26, 2009. In other news, this week has been rather quiet. It took us around 5 days to recover from the mountain. Our muscles were fine by day 2, but our colds lingered.

Our Big Safari: Amsterdam Bound
http://ourbigsafari.blogspot.com/2009/12/amsterdam-bound.html
Tuesday, December 22, 2009. This post was written on Sunday 12/20. Greetings from Athens airport,. Currently Amsterdam is being blanketed in white in preparation for Christmas. An unfortunate side effect of this is that we are now facing an indeterminate delay. Aside from this minor hiccup, our trip to Athens has been amazing. Chris was a fantastic host, showing us the best of Greek food, music, history, drinks, and food. Here in bullet form, we will give you the highlights. The people: seeing and doing ...

Our Big Safari: Snow!
http://ourbigsafari.blogspot.com/2009/12/snow.html
Tuesday, December 22, 2009. So while many of you have been enduring snow for many weeks now, our arrival in Amsterdam marked our first snow encounter of the year. Apparently snow is relatively rare here, as all of their transportation infrastructure more or less shut down from about 1.5" of the fluffy stuff. Regardless of this, the city looks quite nice. We can't believe we'll be heading home so soon, but we can't wait to see everyone! Until next time,. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Our Big Safari: Yia su (hello) from Greece!
http://ourbigsafari.blogspot.com/2009/12/yia-su-hello-from-greece.html
Wednesday, December 16, 2009. Yia su (hello) from Greece! Yesterday, we arrived in Athens safe and sound. But before I elaborate on our going-ons here, I will provide a couple more details about our Rome excursion. Stumbled upon these historical monuments. Though the tour books warned of long. Lines, we were fairly lucky. Our favorite destination was the Pantheon which we ended up returning to a couple times and even ate dinner across from it one night. Though we are only starting our Greek section of th...

Written in Lava: Up, up and away!
http://writteninlava.blogspot.com/2010/05/up-up-and-away.html
Sunday, May 23, 2010. Up, up and away! This past friday I got a bird's eye view of the entire Kilauea volcano from the summit crater down to the coast. I got to ride along on the weekly helicopter monitoring trip. It was amazing. Beautiful. Dynamic. Dizzying. Breathtaking. The list of adjectives could go on.but I will spare you. I was tempted to keep mine on the entire day once we returned to the observatory, but after getting a bunch of weird looks I reluctantly took it off. We took off at 8:30 am at a ...

http://writteninlava.blogspot.com/2010/05/little-kilauea.html
Monday, May 10, 2010. A view of Kilauea Iki Crater from the a lookout near the start of the trail. Kilauea's current summit eruption plume can be seen wafting up into the atmosphere in the background. Separated by a small forest, Kilauea Iki Crater, affectionately nicknamed. A blanket of lava sweeps down Kilauea Iki Crater's southern wall. Taken around 2.5 hours after the eruption started, this photo captures the fire-y intensity of the brief but concentrated eruption.

http://writteninlava.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 27, 2010. Crossing the Ka'u Desert. I am trying to look epic as a look back across the desert. I am slowly making my way through the various trails in the park. Last weekend, I trekked across the dry, hot Ka’u desert. About a mile in, you stumble across the fossilized footprints. My foot in comparison to the ancient fossilized footprint. The legend ( http:/ www.nps.gov/havo/historyculture/footprints.htm. An eruption at Kilauea’s summit a few miles away sent a mixture of rain and ash (m...
