Camping Rule #3




Bring someone else to help paddle while you take pictures! The place we camped was called "Dowdy Lake." Toni's sister brought a canoe, which we enjoyed paddling around!

Selamat Datang di Indonesia

Image
OK, I've actually been in Indonesia for almost a year. But it's been so pandemic-y I haven't felt like I've had a lot to share-and what I DO have to share ends up on social media. Maybe a blog is overkill. But I like words.  So here I am! Teaching internationally in Jakarta, Indonesia. I don't want to type an ALL ABOUT TEACHING INTERNATIONALLY IN INDONESIA post, but instead observations, snippets, funny moments, travel, and maybe (occasional) frustrations. Join me! OBSERVATION #1: Dogs in Indonesia Anyone who knows me, knows that Sweet Abby is my constant sidekick (except that one time when we were separated for over 6 months because she couldn't get out of the US). But, due to culture, religion, and just plain old lack of experience, Indonesians are generally wary of dogs. This can range from downright terrified to suspicious to curious to completely friendly. On top of that, the majority of dogs in Jakarta are miniature-sized so a golden retriever is relativel...

Bolivia (part 5): The World's Most Dangerous Road

Image
The "Camino de la Muerte" or Death Road is another touristy highlight in Bolivia. It's a bike ride, about 40 km, all downhill, where you lose a stunning 11,800 feet in altitude from the top to the bottom! For my friends not using the metric system, thats from 15,400 feet to 3,600. (Metric: from 4700 to 1200 meters) Fortunately, the road that is infamous for deadly accidents is a lot less deadly today. Mostly because another much safer road has been built-so the only traffic on the road now consists of mostly cyclists and the vans that transport them, with perhaps the odd tourist. However, in the past, the narrow, dirt road with blind corners required big buses to back up to find wide enough spots to pass one another-which all too often ended up in buses backing off the sheer side of the mountain. Again, choosing a reputable company seems important when your life is on the line (we used Gravity bike tours). They supply you with a bike, a suit to wear over your clothes for ...

Go, Rockies!

Image
After last nights game, I have to celebrate (especially in case my parade is rained on soon). Padres: in 1st place for the wild card in the National League, on a 7-game winning streak, and at home. Rockies: 4.5 games back, on a 5-game winning streak, and on the road. Rockies were up 1-0 until the Padres hit a single homer in the 9th to tie it. Finally, in the 14th inning, the Rockies win it! Woohoo! Way to go, guys! Sunday update: this parade hasn't been rained on yet! Rockies swept the Padres in San Diego, winning 8 straight and moving within 1.5 games of the wild card-yippee!
