2.5 Weeks Out

Instead of preparing for the big adventure I'm milling over words at coffee. I'm reading a book that represents all I love in words. It's called The Infirmary by Edward Micus. He was one of my Creative Writer teachers at Minnesota StateMankato. His words are magical to me so sincere evoking honest emotions and not overly dramatic. The life experience in his writing is something to be ad

A Note

This blogsite is decidedly not user friendly nor is it in my opinion reader friendly. It does however appear to be a preeminent blogsite and also appears to penetrate the Great Firewall of China unlike my accounts in blogger.com wordpress facebook etc. so here I am stuck typing in hypertext formatting codes so that I can have my words italicized and centered blue on a white utilitarian

…mit Zuckerrohr und Peitsche…

Hallo ndliche Hemisphreich wei ja dass ihr die Schnauze voll habt von dem elenden Schnee aber hier ist es auch kaum besser denn es gab Tage in vergangener Zeit in der es ohne Unterlass geregnet hat. Glcklicherweise drohten mir keine berschwmmungen und auch keine Flutwelle von Peru. Gut dass die Queenslander ihre Huser auf Stelzen bauen. Habe ich eigentlich schon angemerkt dass man hi

Anyway got up had breakfast with Ingrid and then we headed over to the headquarters at 7. Basically just had orientation today which was actually nice.

Rainy and cold… I thought I was down south

Day 2 was quite as wonderful as day one After a night of crazy rain and wind the morning began and continued cloudy and cold. In the morning Ingrid and I went by ourselves back to the blind we had gone to yesterday in order to see what birds were there and to write down what we saw. This time we took our gum boots because of the rain. Good thing The path which had been quite muddy yesterda

First Triangulation Attempt and much more

On Wednesday we didnrsquot do too much. Just drove around some more learning more of the driving routes. Ingrid also got her first practice with trying to triangulate a bird. It was tough because the bird was probably flying at the time plus we kept being in places with lots of interference. But yeah. Then after lunch we went out with Scott for more driving. Stopped at another landownerrsquos

The forgotten county

We spent the weekend in the rolling hills of england in the forgotten country of Herefordshire. Adam Myles Kara Jonson Scott and I headed off Saturday morning for The Stagg Inn a famous gastro pub as it has a Michellon star. It was a grey old day which made the drive very dramatic. Our first stop was Ludlow to see the black and white houses and Ludlow Castle lovely. Apparently Ludlow's stree

"ACDC Washing in Lisbon"

2nd June lsquo09Doubledrivers make a mess it's a fact. Jon merrily boards a plane this morning and I'm left with the detritus of two men sharing a truck. Not only is the cab in a deplorable state awash with discarded crisp packets and chocolate bar wrappers but all the cupboards and side lockers look as though they've absorbed a small explosion. In short things need sorting out. Esse

Day 13

The plan for today was to chill out and catch a overnight bus to Buenos Aires later in the evening. I rose quite early and planned to catch up on a few things on the internet get my blog up to date and download some new music for the upcoming 16 hour bus ride. The girls planned to chill out in the sun most of the day and head into town to book the bus. We'd been in each others pockets for the

The night before…

Packing is my worst nightmare. I can not literally think of anything else I am more illsuited for apart from harem trousers. The only way I could be worse is if I were to blind fold myself. My sister is the complete opposite. I have seen her fold clothes origami style. I think deep down what it comes down to is that I seeking confrontation. I want the check in desk to try and charge me excess.
