| 29th June 2009 Mommeee | Awesome - From: IndoWhat?! Wow - great to read about your adventure as usual. The world is very big, and I am thrilled that you are grabbing what you can - visually, introspectively, and with/in each new experience. I wish I could have joined you this year.....as I am still so grateful for my memories of Belize & Costa Rica. I am reading your earlier blogs again and enjoying the read......Be safe dear son, and know that I love you & think of you every day. |
| 29th June 2009 gregor haupilopogus | hay - From: IndoWhat?! Hi Brad! I love your description of Kuta Beach (the bustling part)! I picture a cross between an Indiana Jones movie, and a Jason Bourne movie. Did you happen to see James Bond being chased on a motorbike? Do the 'friendly shop owners' speak english? Does the beach resemble a California beach at all? Or no? I love it when fire dancers show up while I'm eating dinner. WOW.. kite-surfing sounds tremendously hard. I picture how nervous I am going down a steep mountain with a snowboard... not wanting to catch an edge... HOLY CRAP! Those Garden Eels are awesome looking! Nice pictures! How is that Olympus working out? You're not actually using the flash, are you? |
| 17th June 2009 Kristi | - From: Best job in the world application next time we should leave at 4 am! Hurray for spontaneous adventure~ |
| 3rd July 2008 Jenni Jenni Bo Benni | - From: Costa Rica Part 2: Adventure with Style Hey Brad catching up on your blog...Wow the dive stories were so awesome. It makes me want to go!!! But 140 sounds a bit frightening to me...30 is more my style haha. Can't wait to watch some videos!!! Are you back in LA now? |
| 13th June 2008 Jeff | Two words: - From: Foam parties, Blue Hole and Whale Sharks Totally bitchin'. =D |
| 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! |

| 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!!! |

| 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. |
