Our travels through the Americas. Sunday, March 22, 2009. We left Argentina behind and crossed into Bolivia. After all of Lonely Planet's warnings about police scams and dodgy characters at the border we were a bit trepidatious. It was our easiest terrestrial border crossing yet: the officer checking us out of Argentina joked around and practiced his English with us and the Bolivian officer checking us in couldn't have been more. The trip was mainly sitting in the jeep with stops for photos and meals....

Our travels through the Americas. Friday, March 19, 2010. Home Again, Finnegan. Growing up, my family stayed with my grandmother during the summers and at Christmas. She was like a third parent to my brothers and to me. After college I lived with her before finding my own apartment, and returned when I took a chance on a low-paying job working with children. So how does one end the trip of a lifetime? It was great also to roll across the border and into the home of our old friends the McGregors. We t...

Our travels through the Americas. Sunday, November 29, 2009. D&D Brewery.and all that entails. Mike and I spent a nice afternoon walking to the Pulhapanzak waterfall. The best part of the walk was meeting Francisco Reyes on our way home. Francisco is a jefe. A Honduran dish of tortilla filled with beans, eggs and cheese. Labels: D and D Brewery.

Our travels through the Americas. Thursday, July 22, 2010. In late April, despite his misgivings about helping us continue to shirk work, Hilary's brother Tom invited us to join him on his move from Norfolk, Virginia to Monterey, California. In Monterey he would be spending six months learning French at the Defense Language Institute before heading to Paris to study at their War College. The next day we visited Albert at the Mercantile Library. Where he is director. It is a beautiful subscription lib...

Our travels through the Americas. Sunday, November 28, 2010. The pictures tell a better story than I can. Looking at these pictures I realize how much I miss the western mountains and Mike and Scott; I feel like I didn't appreciate them enough when I was there. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Our travels through the Americas. Sunday, October 25, 2009. Jamie, a battered Canadian septuagenarian met us at the dock. He would not have looked out of place sitting on the sidewalk at 6th and Market but his unpressured approach and plethora of apparently solid information won us over. We followed him to the squeaky clean Corner. Past trees full of red macaws, and bunked down. Puerto Jimenez is on the Peninsula Osa, home of Parque Nacional Corcovado. Costa Rica is rather expensive for Central America a...

Our travels through the Americas. Wednesday, June 9, 2010. Gadding about on the East Coast. We have never aspired to be real-time bloggers but I notice that the dateline on our last post is March. March! Now in late July we have some catching up to do: In this post, our whirlwind tour up the east coast, Easter in DC, Nationals' Opening Day, and Tom's moving out party in Norfolk. Picking up where we left off (in March! Of Sir Roderick Glossop, P.G. Wodehouse's eminent brain specialist. Sir Rod...The next ...

Our travels through the Americas. Thursday, December 24, 2009. From Hawaii we caught a bus to Antigua, a beautiful colonial city set amid volcanoes. It was smoggy, probably due to the huge amounts of plastic burning on its outskirts, but the buildings are lovely. We found a basic but very clean and very cheap hotel (the Posada Ruiz) and stayed a number of nights, wandering the streets and exploring the churches and convents. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Our travels through the Americas. Thursday, January 28, 2010. Just before we left California, Scott and Nancy (soon to be his lovely wife) had us over for dinner and wine and gave us lots of useful information on traveling and trekking in South America. That summer Scott had led me through one of the hardest days I've had in the Sierras to a lake full of the biggest, fattest, most delicious trout I've ever seen (or tasted! So I particularly wanted his advice as an alpinista. Like many beaches in Californ...
