Beard
October 30, 2008Alcohol from the trip so far

October 28, 2008It’s interesting to hear people from other countries talk about our election. I have yet had someone tell me they wanted maccain to win.

Resting in Pohkra

Kathmandu
October 6, 2008Well I have arrived in Kathmandu without issue. One interesting thing is my phone does NOT work here (although AT&T says it should). So I think I will be without phone and internet for the next 3 weeks while I trek. I will be doing blog updates on my phone, but you won’t see them […]
Cubs
October 4, 2008I really thought the Cuba would win this year. This was due tobrue fact that I would soon be hiking in areas with no Internet and this would have no clue about the party going on in chi-town Little did I know that this trip home would allow me to be in the states for […]
