Quick update
Hey y’all! I will write more later but just want to make a quick update for now. I am home right now but packing (trying to fit everything into a backpacking backpack is harder than I’d thought) to head out to Vermont! My stay at home has been lovely…. I’ve been enjoying the leaves coming […]
Trial Postage…
I am such a real person with a real domain name website…. News: I am house-sitting right now for the guy who does computer tech at the office, which means I am staying in the highest house on the Quill above town with a BEAUTIFUL view of all the lights and the northern hills and […]
Statia!
For those of you who don’t know, I arrived two days ago on St. Eustatius, a tiny island in the Netharlands Antilles in the Carribbean. Just east of Puerto Rico and the US Virgen Islands.

The week of the crazy men
27-12-07 I have been traveling again, this time just for a weekend trip to the beach town of Tamarindo for some decadence and visiting a friend from the states. On the way Liberia was nice, it feels like a true town, not like a turist destination. Tamarindo was pretty, beautiful beaches, but very fudgified. Aparently […]
Feliz Navidad
12-18-07 There was a Christmas party here yesterday, just for the family I’m staying with (which still means a LOT of people). The night before the party several of Dona Alicias children, and their small kids, slept over, so the morning was crazyness even early. I helped out a little with cooking and then with […]
