InanItah – The Kitchen
This is our temporary kitchen setup. Its such a cute little shack but its going to be torn down once the big one is complete so I wanted to capture it for posterity.
First Glimpses
Sorry that I haven’t been updating the blog – its so much easier to post quick updates on Facebook to let friends and family know I’m alive and kicking as the internet connection here is sort of frail. I thought I’d post my last few Facebook updates here for the folks without FB:
(in Costa Rica) The hostel is hot, overcrowded, bar music blaring at me right across from the window… and I will sleep like a baby tonight. Nothings going to stop that.

6am start to the Nicaraguan border. Hope to be on the island of Ometepe by tonight.

Ometepe is incredible. More wild and beautiful than I ever imagined.

That’s it from me tonight. I’m spent! The trip was incredible, the border crossing just insane. Falling asleep in a hammock tonight under the stars with bugs chirping everywhere. Is this even real?

Awoke in the temple at 6am before sunrise, warmed up my sleepy body with gentle dance while the sun rose around us, then hiked through the rice fields with Erika to the neighbouring farm for some fresh frothy milk. Oatmeal and warm hot honey milk for breakfast. Giant papaya to snack on today. The papayas here are larger than watermelons!

a local boy hacked off then cut open a coconut with a machete and gave it to me to drink. Sadly he really is too young. But he had no shirt on which is always a bonus.

4x4ing through the jungle to get to InanItah!
On Tuesday I left Costa Rica and travelled by bus, ferry and 4×4 to get home. This part was as much fun as the ferry!
Skeletor
I’ve been posting a lot of updates on Facebook about this place, its just easier. Sorry! I’ll put a few things up here from time to time. I got complaints that its torture to read about this paradise I’m living in so I thought I’d treat you to a gross story.
So last night on my way to the ‘bathroom’ in the dark I was just about to walk through a doorway but my headlamp caught the wriggling glow of a GIANT 2 inch spider that was bright yellow, no hair, just thick armourplated body that was right next to me. Had I walked through without seeing it I’d have broken the web and it would have landed right on my face. On my face. With its crazy claw legs. We checked each other out for a minute while it boinged up and down on the web. then I ducked under the web and went to the ‘bathroom’.
So this morning Erika wakes up and I ask her how about that spider! “What spider?” She’d walked through the doorway. Mmmmm… yessss…
Protect the Western Arctic Reserve From Big Oil
The Western Arctic Reserve, also known as the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, is the largest tract of unprotected, relatively pristine public land in the United States. The 23.5 million-acre reserve is home to imperiled polar bears, seabirds and one of the densest populations of nesting raptors in the world. Its shores and lagoons harbor beluga whales, seals, walruses and other marine mammals. The BLM is accepting comments on a planning document that sets the stage for oil and gas leasing in the western Arctic for decades to come. Help save this national treasure by telling the BLM to protect the Western Arctic Reserve from dirty fossil fuel development »
