I Think We Can Agree

No matter what our personal religious or political beliefs may be, I think we can all agree on one thing - this monkey is going to heaven.

How To Loose Ten Pounds In One Week

I just got back from the adventure of the week. I finished a trek on the Lares Trail in the mountains of Peru. I am happy to say that I had no negative experiences with urine, feces, or vomitus (mine or anyone else's) We hiked 7-10 topographically diverse miles a day for 4 days and ended up in Ollantayntambo, took a train to Aguas Calientes. Despite the name, this is where I took my first shower in five days... ice cold. The next morning we went to Machu Picchu and then hike to the top of WaynaPicchu. I could have tried chewing the coca leaves like some others in my group, but they commented on being "stoned" and also waking up every five minutes all night long.

Peru is an amazing place with incredible people. I'll go back. You should come!

Is This Stone Really Yellow?

I just got back from an incredible extended weekend trip. Flew to SLC, drove to Yellowstone. Spent a few days there being impressed. Drove to Jackson, WY. Spent a day and a half hiking and being awed. The first time in my life, I was chilly on the 4th of July. I am pretty sure I'm going to make a tradition out of it.
