| 3rd June 2008 nattytash | interested in your expedition - From: Foam parties, Blue Hole and Whale Sharks Hi i am going to be traveling from Honduras to guat and then maybe to Belize. I am first interested in were exactly the caves you dove were, you had said Placencia, but ive had issues finding any info on that. Also, how did you travel from Guat to Belize? from which town? and can you avoid going to cancun? any info would be appreciated. u can also contact me at natashastev@gmail.com |
| 30th May 2008 Robin F | Shake, rattle & Alma? - From: Foam parties, Blue Hole and Whale Sharks You two must be stirrin' it up down there in C. A. Last Sun & Tues there were 5.0/5.7 earthquakes in Guatemala and last night, Wed, there was the 1st tropical storm, Alma, blowing through Nicaragua. I'm looking at the weather map. You're headed for Costa Rica in a few days, so hope you've got clear skies and only tropical breezes. You two Fotschs are very powerful when you're together. Adios mi amigos. |
| 26th May 2008 Kelly | Surgeon General's Warning: Foam+Party=Fungas - From: Foam parties, Blue Hole and Whale Sharks Foam parties are not sterile. There is humanpandonkeydonk fungus everywhere. If mysterious circular patches show up any where on your body, see a medical professional promptly. |
| 24th May 2008 Jenny | Blue Hole? - From: Foam parties, Blue Hole and Whale Sharks Wait, that picture "Blue Hole from Above" - what exactly am I looking at? It looks like a picture taken from space, but I'm pretty sure that's one adventure you guys HAVEN'T done on this trip... It's a beautiful picture even though I have no clue what it is. I'm so glad you got to see a whale shark! I remember you talking about really wanting to time it to see them, so glad that worked out. Say hi to mom from your blog friends and have fun being treated to some parent travel time after all the roughing it you guys have been doing. Cheers! |
| 23rd May 2008 Jenny | Behind... - From: CAVES! Ok, I'm a bit behind on the blogs but I love this one! And I love Jenni to the D's comment about her friend getting an infection up her butthole - I would never have thought of that but yeah, that makes sense so make sure you boys are clenching when you jump! heehee. and Brad, speaking of butts, how's yours doing? are you pooping? we don't want any more Death Star experiences when you come back this time...awesome blog - the caves def sounded creepy but very stimulating and fun, keep it coming! |
| 23rd May 2008 inbetweenanalienabduction | woooooow - From: CAVES! those are some great pics.. im totally digging the blog..keep it coming, and keep jumping off stuff! |
| 22nd May 2008 Jenni to the D | My answer would be no way Jose - From: CAVES! Holy cow you guys are nutso - just looking at that picture of you 2 on the bridge freaks me out!!! I met a girl once who said she jumped in a fresh water lake in from up way up high and she got an infection up her butt-hole. Hope you guys didn't get what she got. Anyway, just now checking out the blog, Brad, and it sure makes me wish I were traveling!! Keep the blogs and photos coming :) And yes, we need to hang out when you're in NY in August!!! |
| 22nd May 2008 Dave | this blog is amazing - From: CAVES! being co-star of the adventure, i didnt find it necessary to actually read the blogs, but damn, these are seriously amazing. kudos brad! cant wait for the video! |
| 21st May 2008 jlo | We can't stop here, this is BAT COUNTRY! - From: CAVES! What a brilliant adventure! the description of those water caves brought back great memories of the colorado sauna cave! We have to get you a waterproof enclosure for your zoom. =D you guys are nuts for jumping off a perfectly good bridge... And yet once again, you bring a serving of double rock goodness to your river swing release! ooooommBASSS! |
| 16th May 2008 jade | hoa, lava marshmellows! - From: Volcanos, Kayaks and Fuel strikes...oh my! Wow how cool was that! Look like such amazing time :) |
| 10th May 2008 Jen | greetings - From: Dominical Vs. Newbie USA Surfers + Nicaragua We are impressed by your exotic travels, brad of the jungle. We miss you. Sundays aren't the same without you. Love Jen, Anisa, and Idris |
| 9th May 2008 Jenny | Smiling - From: Corn Islands Ah, Brad. It's impossible to read these blog entries of yours without SMILING. I know how my brother drives golf carts so I can only imagine there were at LEAST a couple near collisions that didn't make the narrative. I'm glad you guys are finding such wonderfully empty spots - certainly the only way to do that is by NOT planning, which I guess is something you guys are absolute Pros at! Keep having fun and we'll keep enjoying it vicariously through you. |
| 9th May 2008 Tassos | yesssssss!! - From: Corn Islands I think this is my favorite part of your trip so far! |
| 9th May 2008 maurer | amazing - From: Corn Islands to think that I pay well over a $1000 a month to live 3 blocks from an overcrowded, polluted beach...and you got to experience a private paradise for $10 a night.....thats awesome |
| 8th May 2008 bird | nice - From: Corn Islands who knew islands made of corn were such a slice of heaven. reggae is all in your hips... work it. can't wait to see all your underwater pics. |
| 5th May 2008 greg | adventure extraordinaire - From: Dominical Vs. Newbie USA Surfers + Nicaragua brad... i've been inspired by your adventureness... and so i was thinking about going on an adventure of my own. my travel agent told me that there is this really sweet place in missouri called silver dollar city. apparently there are all kinds of sweet/thrilling/adventure type things there. i thought about taking a month off to go there. let me know if you want to come with me on this sweet adventure. i hope you're celebrating cinco de mayo today. : ) |
| 5th May 2008 Jenny | Multiple Broken Surfboards? - From: Dominical Vs. Newbie USA Surfers + Nicaragua OK, so I know these blog posts are a little bit behind...but why did I think that Scott or someone had already snapped a surfboard before? Was that Dave or someone w/ Dave before you and Scott joined them? If not, then I think I'm having visions of what's happening to you guys before it happens. And in that case, I'm having visions right now of beautiful jewelry being brought back for me from these islands you're heading to... :) Have a great time in the Caribbean and enjoy that beautiful warm turquoise calm water as we deal with the brown/grey wild Pacific back home. Oh, also - we've had very successful VBVB the last two weeks that's involved 20+ people for hours of good times! Stay safe and have fun! |
| 5th May 2008 maurer | FSLN - From: Dominical Vs. Newbie USA Surfers + Nicaragua http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandinista more pictures! |
| 5th May 2008 Tassos | you forgot - From: Dominical Vs. Newbie USA Surfers + Nicaragua you forgot in your list of things one thinks about Nicaragua, "the great Cornholio"! |
| 2nd May 2008 Kelly | Brad of the Jungle - From: Corcovado You are the only person I know that would wake up at 2 am to go jaguar sight-seeing. I can't wait to see the video!!! Thank you for these totally surreal vignettes. If you ever pursued an alternate career, you could become a reality TV "jungle adventure tour-guide man." We just need to know a little bit more of the romantic subplots happening between fellow adventurers.... |
| 2nd May 2008 maurer | amazing - From: Corcovado agreed with everyone's post...this was the best read so far...really forgot i was reading about someone's live travels and thought i was lost in a story....really awesome stuff man...soo jealous. |
| 1st May 2008 Kury | Wowzers! - From: Corcovado Brad, Your trip sounds awesome! Great photos! Did you organize it all yourself or did you sign up with a travel company? Dave |
| 1st May 2008 Tassos | - From: Corcovado Fantastic Brad! Excellent blogging! Howler monkeys are completely amazing to hear. I hope you got some good audio for us! Keep em' coming. Voyeurs and exhibitionists! |
| 1st May 2008 Mommeeeeeeee | Awesome - From: Corcovado Being the only mom on this blog.....it's hard to exactly "fit in" with the flow here - but I can say I am proud, excited, thrilled with the story and the pics, and amazed with what you write about....also, in mom language..."be careful out there:) Love ya! |
| 30th April 2008 inbetweenanalienabduction | art of storytelling - From: Corcovado wow, you my friend can surley paint a picture. I find myself almost religously following your every move. I pray you continue to run into angels on your journey. ps. dido what jenny said ..keep up the "detailed" blogging, i gotta get my fix! |
| 29th April 2008 jlo | The Jungle Book! - From: Corcovado I totally agree with the above entry, this is my new favorite read! without having to be, and I quote, "Exhausted, dirty, hot, blisters, cuts, bites and all...". What an amazing adventure... You have to bring back a troop of howler monkeys! And Brad, as the pictures prove, you're bringing a dose of double RAWK to jungle! SOOUUUUNNNNNNNDDDDD!!!!! |
| 29th April 2008 John Oakes | Amazing - From: Corcovado I am enjoying your trip so far, thanks for the great documentation. |
| 29th April 2008 Jenny | So Glad... - From: Corcovado It's amazing - I read this entry and it is just so fun. It's like getting lost in a good book, but it's even better b/c it's my friends and family who are the main characters! Just as I begin to feel a bit jealous of your experience, there will be a line about not sleeping/being covered in blisters/sweat and I feel just as happy simply reading about these adventures and not partaking in them. :) Keep up the excellent detailed blogging - it's my new favorite book! |
| 29th April 2008 rae rae | Leave no trace in the rainforest cuties. - From: Mas Agua To my little Ecotourists - Biologically "Intense" basically means - (from the Corcovado Park homepage.) -An isolated zone of biological diversification and endemism. -Home to sustainable populations of large mammals and bird due to large intact roadless areas, lack of navigable rivers, and few resident humans. tourists love parading through it for pleasure but we must take care and leave no trace, so footpaths do not become roads. i'm sure you are both pros at doing such. but not everyone is. i can't wait to hear about what you see. maybe you'll be like Sting and want to save the rainforest when you get back. ;) xoxo - my little conservationists. |
| 28th April 2008 jlo | Rawk to the river - From: Mas Agua It looks like you guys have taken the Colorado River and stepped it up a few notches! If you open an adventure media company, I'll open an american sports bar. Except there will be no sports, just alcohol, pool tables and karaoke. And maybe you, me and Scott can start a band and play there on the weekends. Perfect! |
| 27th April 2008 Tweedie | Country GRILLED Steak????? - From: Mas Agua A sports bar in Costa Rica! That sounds interesting. The rafting looks incredible! And the big trees... I just want to know what's so INTENSE about the biology there.... Oh, and bring it on Maurer! That wooden thingy that Brad is going to buy from some local somewhere is TOTALLY MINE!!!! |
| 27th April 2008 maurer | rafting media company - From: Mas Agua they have party pics on the rapids?!? hells yeah if you want to open up an adventure media company i'm game... "rapids gone wild" |
| 25th April 2008 inbetweenanalienabduction | keep on trucking - From: Waterfalls and Amigos good to know things are going well. at this moment my munchies are kicking in and all i want to know is what to order at this jungle lodge of yours |
| 23rd April 2008 Tassos | The saga begins! - From: Waterfalls and Amigos I wont believe any of this is true until I see pictures and audio. For all I know, you're just hiding under your bed in Venice writing this on your iPhone! |
| 22nd April 2008 Jade | bravo to adventures! - From: Waterfalls and Amigos Brad! Wow you're on the road again! The travel plan sounds awesome! Can't want to see some pictures :) Have a great time!! |
| 22nd April 2008 maurer | don't eat strange leaves - From: Ven Conmigo! in response to tassos....happiness only real when not killed by eating leaves..."please stick to the rivers and lakes that you're used to"...(starts off the battle for the souvenier with a TLC quote...bring it Tweedie) |
| 22nd April 2008 kelly | deep jungle - From: Waterfalls and Amigos be careful in the deep jungle. lions and tigers and bears... |
| 22nd April 2008 Rob | Spanglish - From: Waterfalls and Amigos I wonder if you said something inappropriate to that woman in spanish.... |
| 22nd April 2008 Tyler | dirty hippie music! - From: Ven Conmigo! sounds pretty cool in quad. i can almost smell the grimy dreadlocks and nag champa. |
| 22nd April 2008 Jenny | Hooray! - From: Waterfalls and Amigos I'm glad you all met up successfully - I knew you would! Those things always just tend to work out like that. :) And it sounds like your trip is off to a REALLY fun start. Dave and I actually went canyoning together in Switzerland several years ago and had a blast doing it, so glad you had fun too. I particularly liked the part where the German guides were telling us the exact positions we needed to jump through the rocks and into the pools of water in so that we wouldn't hurt ourselvses - lots of trust involved in all these adventures! Anyways, glad you're all together and give Dave a big hug from me. |
| 22nd April 2008 raena | sweet! - From: Waterfalls and Amigos I'm hanging on your every word. What fantastic times you are having. Post more. |

| 20th April 2008 Tassos | Can't wait! - From: Ven Conmigo! Happiness only real when shared. Or at least, so I'm told. |
| 20th April 2008 Rob Tweedie | Whoop! - From: Ven Conmigo! Brad, I want that souvenier! You will be missed out here, but I can't wait to hear about all your travels! Have fun and don't get eaten by a cockroach in a sea of bat poop!!!!! |
