A 15,000 Mile Trip from New Orleans to Alaska & Back
Tall tales from the campsite
I didn’t take many pictures of the Tabacon Resort. It doesnt seem like the place for pictures. It’s stuck right in the middle of the Arenal Volcano region and covered with tropical foliage. The hot springs form a river that wanders by the resort.… Continue Reading “Pura Vida”
So most of our posts have been simply about “where we are”. Michel and I have deliberately kept these posts pretty simple just letting people know our location. Today I am in Costa Rica but heading home to Michel tomorrow. This post is about… Continue Reading “Bean & Rice”

Dietrich is a family owned dealership specializing in cars outfitted… Continue Reading “Te Matare Ramirez (I will kill you Ramirez)”
Ok. So we are hearing news that a Chilean volcano (Puyehue) has erupted and that flights are being cancelled out of Buenos Aires. We are scheduled to leave on the 11th of June. Let me know of any news you hear on this.
Knowing that half the class and our professor have not arrived in Buenos Aires, I hold opposition to attending class today. Tulane has set up an exchange week with Universidad de Belgrano, an urban university downtown. Apparently, there were some kind of protests this… Continue Reading “Tengo Escuela?”
We spent an amazing 4 days in George Washington for The Sasquatch Festival at the Beautiful Gorge. Sasquatch was voted “best outdoor festival” last year, and I understand why. We met up with some of Steve-o’s buds from high school and college. The Thielman… Continue Reading “The Gorge at George”
