val's ventures: December 2006
http://valsventures.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
December 19, 2006. Crouched in the door of the Twin Otter, waiting for the signal to jump, I see Zicatela Beach 15,000 feet below me, patiently awaiting my return. In just six short minutes, I'll set myself down softly on the hot white sand. The yellow light comes on: “Door! Green light: “Go! Facing each other, I wait for the signal from Jeanne. My eyes never leaving hers, I read her lips as she screams “Ready, Set, Go”. My timing is critical here: if I don’t leave at the same t...We didn't practice the ...

January 28, 2007. Woody looks back at me and says in typical Woody fashion, "Wow Val, you look really happy right now. Happy you survived another landing in Cuautla? Something like that Woody, something an awful lot like that. Photos, top to bottom: Leaving the plane; Cuautla runway; Volcano Popocatepetl and sidekick Iztaccihuatl. Links to this post.

January 8, 2008. Accompanying nearly every meal I've eaten the past few weeks- yes, even breakfast- has been this humble little green sauce known as Chimichurri. I first experienced it's highly addictive properties at the Flor de Cafe in Puerto Escondido. In Mexico, mind you, not in Argentina where it comes from, served up with a world-class grass fed beef steak, but on the beach in Mexico where there is no fresh beef or parrillas in sight. I was drawn to the cafe in the beginning by its. I still cannot ...

val's ventures: October 2012
http://valsventures.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
October 23, 2012. For heaven's sake, how does one even begin to write a blog post after a year and a half? When so much has changed, when my life as I once knew it has evolved beyond belief? Sit down and just start, I suppose. I don't live in Hood River anymore. I live in a van; I seem to have an affinity for Sprinter Vans, because I now drive one for a living. It is enjoyable, and I meet extraordinary people. Like the lovely Lauren:. And these two, Ginjer and Savannah from the Flathead Valley:. And I go...

January 21, 2011. Here's to a Bloggy New Year! The thing about writing for a living, I'm discovering, is that by the day's or week's end, I'm out of energy for my own projects, including my own blog. I have an ongoing list of blog posts, short stories, and article ideas for someday, but I sit down to write, and I don't seem to have any bandwidth left. Nomad Camp in Cali, November 2009. Links to this post. January 2, 2011. Well, some of them are going to be very simple, like cooking certain dishes I've al...

April 26, 2007. From that point on, I followed her lead. I wrote myself lists each day, and crossed things off as I did them. I felt much better about being on Sheep Hill and started to get used to being there. Stinky and I fell into a routine, and it started to feel normal to be living at 8500 feet on a mountaintop. What if I missed one and it got out of control before anyone could get there? It really was an unforgettable experience. I can honestly say it was one of the most amazing things I have e...

Tuesday, June 02, 2009. WORDS June - Already? So its been a few I guess. Not too much earth-shattering going on here, lets see. Backing up a little. Really need to update this image, forgot about it for a while. (whish I had some older images.). Only really two things to note with this update, though as I type that may change. Yes, I sacrifice food/sustinance for bikes). And sometimes, the bike changes over a period of months, evolving as my riding evolves/devolves. As for "needing" it. :. But I sure ...
