Ephemerisle 2010 Cancellation

We regret to tell our community that after much discussion this week, we are canceling Ephemerisle 2010 due to insurance costs. The estimate for insurance-related expenses has risen from an early estimate of $55,000 to a total of $135,000, with much of the jump happening a week ago. This caused us to take a long, hard look at Ephemerisle's budget and the ROI of the event as a whole.

Day 7 Taos New Mexico and The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge

We woke up this morning in Taos New Mexico to a chilly breeze coming through the windows and even though I slept like a baby Advil does that to me I still didn't feel good. My headache was pretty much gone but my head was stuffy and I was just feeling tired. Tim and I decided we were going back to bed and we would just get up whenever we felt like it. Well whenever we felt like it was about 1

A DAY OF REFLECTION

Still feeling angry after the performance of England last night. The big consensus over here apart from the feeling of total let down is that Joe Cole should start and Heskey goes home Rooney should channel his aggression onto the pitch and Super Frank should go back to basics and learn to pass a ball. The cobwebs were blown out of our system on the boat ride to Robben Island. Again we met so

Day 10 Ag Georgios to Rekini friends in Sidari

As I siad yesterday during the night the rains came not a typical thunderstorm but more like British rain continual shower. It was raining when I awoke at 630 and looked like it had been for hours and the sky was dark grey everywhere you looked.

Henry drove us back to our hostel giving us a night tour of all the main sites like the opera house and bridge etc. all lit up and it paid back all the lifts i gave him back to kc. Then we left next morning for surf camp whic

Music

Summer is upon us hot hazy skies and cool buggy nights. This Shabbat I went to visit my friend Tamar and we went swimming in the warm Mediterranean. Summer often brings medusahs huge jellyfish to the shore and although we didn't see any traces of their stingingness was in the water and left little electric shock welts on my legs. Still it was worth it for the cool air and the saltiness

The base of the Bangu

Monday June 14 2010 KimpeseWhile my travel companions did adult things like attend meetings I decided to hike to the Vampa Falls at the base of a great rock outcropping near Kimpese called Bangu. It looks like a miniature Kili. Most of the water that feeds Kimpese comes from this location. Two guides from the Bible Institute accompanied me to show me the way. My most vivid experience was wa
