About Me

Why do I travel? I have been stricken with an innate need to experience the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells of other places. This need has taken firm hold and has shaped my life in ways unimaginable. Some of the happiest and most fulfilling moments of my life have been spent hiking in Peru, traipsing through muddy terra firme forest in mosquito garb and rubber boots, talking to different human beings about their families and dreams, or experiencing the electric colors of the great barrier reef. Time spent exploring the inner workings of living, eating, and dreaming in another culture changes my perspective on my own life, and leads to a sense of connectedness with the human condition that I do not find in any other way. Looking out over ragged cliffs or floating along in the ocean reminds me that I am but a speck, in constant flux, which is somehow comforting. Each time I experience new, somehow I am changed.

Grand Lake Weekend

I took the boys on their first camping trip up near Grand Lake; we were the only ones camped across the reservoir, allowing George to run around freely. We spent the weekend cracking open geodes and swimming in the reservoir (well, I did--the boys were too afraid of potential mountain lake monsters). The boys got to see their first porcupine in the wild, which was exciting.
 It was a nice weekend, aside from Victor getting a tad sick and not being able to have a camp fire.
