there's a little island

off

the coast of maui

named: molokai

it's about a 2 hour boat ride away

me and randy

visited it last friday

rented a

chrysler lebaron

which waited for us in the ferry parking lot with the key in the ignition

got lost

explored

you know how it is

for lack of better words

this place reminded me

of

how real magic is

fresh air

health-y food

books

pavement pounding

julianna

photos

duh

and sketchs

of a live model

who goes by the name of

bayou betty

portland

you are one fine city

travel on

run down apartments
filled with
only
plants
and
eroding bricks

a city
skyline
that
has the tallest
buildings
i've seen in
6 months

the promise
of a
visit
to a
contemporary art museum
after
seeing
5oo year old ruins

the perfect
cohesion
of
new
and
old





i can't tell you enough
how
much
i'm
enjoying
panama city

hostels

getting ripped off by cabbies

a lost wallet

new people

new accents

book swaps

two argentinian teenagers

singing

black eyed peas

in the room at 5am

buenas olas

pancakes

hand made jewelry

pineapple

more english than you'd expect

smoothies

coffee

oh

the

joys

of

travelling

in

costa rica

just returned

from

a

day trip

to a beach

called

las cortinas

surfing, friends, hammocks

&

homemade mexican food

oh yes

and the place we

stayed at

was

nautical-

themed

we found this spot after a

van ride

boat ride

little walk

&

horse and cart ride

if you ask me nicely

maybe i'll tell you

where it is

while perusing

nytimes.com

(travel section)

this morning

i came across

this series of

14

black & white

photos

surfing in north carolina

by

chris bickford

these 3 are my favourite:

jenny and i

went on a volcano boarding trip

with

Quetzal-Trekkers

which is an

NGO

that

finances

their work

with

at-risk children in the community

by giving

eco-tours

in and around

León

¡super tuani!

(that means super cool!)

from the top looking down

steam rising from a volcano crater

wahooo!

there's a guidebook for

Chile

on our

bookshelf

it's from

the 90's

i

just

love

the

photographs

in it

i think

that

pre

digital

photos

will

always seem

a

little more

magical

also

i've never

wanted

to go

to

Chile

more

favourite shots

from

a recent trip to the Corn Islands

shark
