First Impressions

America. Home of the brave they say. Home of the weirdos says me. What a fucked up country. I've never encountered such an eclectic, mismatched, disturbing assortment of people. I've only actually come across 3 distinct types. Tourists, ... Read more >

I put up some photos of my stroll along the Sea Wall from the other day and sunset with Brandon.  Hope you enjoy! We had a wonderful Saturday night!  The park near the Convention Center had a fireworks festival, and despite the fact that it's two "... Read more >

Actually, Toto, This Is Kansas!

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 | By fieldnotes | Views [414]

People in Colorado usually see Kansas only as something to cross when driving eastward.  Birds on the other hand, especially migrating shore birds, see the area near Great Bend as a great spring resting place on their way north. And that's why we were ... Read more >

Slack Zoe...

 So I was going to get up and write a nice long story about the past  weeks in Florida but I went to the beach to attempt to surf on an extremely short board  instead and have now run out of time to write properly. (I think I swallowed most of the ... Read more >

I'm finally doing it!

Hello. Tomorrow is my last day as a non-walker; my last day eating ice cream, at least for a while. I begin the 2,660 mile trek on Saturday morning. It is still surreal to me that I'll actually be doing this. I know the first few weeks will be among ... Read more >

Haramara Retreat: Days-In-the-Life-Of

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 | By cam2yogi | Views [1298]

It is dark outside. Maybe 10 o’clock, maybe 11. Who knows? For all I could guess it might be 3AM or how ‘bout 9PM. There are no clocks around me, only a lace of mosquito netting cascading over the large bed like a whale’s mouth around a school of fish.... Read more >

I spend three days at the Riverside Community, which I believe is New Zealand's oldest intentional community (commune). It was started in 1941 as a Christian pacifist community in opposition to the war. Nowadays it is non-sectarian and has about 75 members ... Read more >

Buenas to all and thanks again for keeping up with my journey (especially Mrs. Poultan´s elementary class!) Everything has been great so far. I´ve eaten some very strange meals (including guinnuea pig and Chinese-Ecuadorian food), seen cool sites, and ... Read more >
