Pictures


This is me last fall, wearing very cool pants from Guatemala, riding a bike which, since then, Ive done many hundreds, perhaps thousands, of kilometers on. Lots and lots of kilometers. Just this weekend, Ive ridden 100km.

And this is me, attached to a rope, which is normally used to keep climbers safe as they climb very high into trees.
And below, are the people I work with.Snow.Moving fallen tree debris, while in snow.A group photo while hiking on the north edge of the island. Notice the thick coats and pants. I was just back at that same spot this last week. This time, the little kids I was with (and myself for that matter) were suffering from dehydration and some heat exaustion. Fair bit of a change.. it was very, very hot.


Seagulls. During whats called a "Herring Run". Basically, tens of thousands of herring flood by the island, in huge underocean schools. Their milt turn the water a beautiful, creamy blue. In tow, behind the thousands of herring, are thousands upon thousands of seagulls.. along with fishing boats, eagles, and HUGE sealions. Pretty intense.

Another high ropes activity, this one call the Giant's Ladder. This ladder goes 30-40 feet in the air. The rungs near the top are spaced 8 feet apart, one needs to work with a partner to make it all the way up.
