Happy New Year Ben and Nas Hi you 2,
Wow! I can't believe the photos you 2 have. Ben, I love the one of you in the surf and Nas, how amazing that you were able to catch him! Wish I was there with you!
Continue to "give 'er" as your dad would say Ben.
Lots of love,
Auntie Moe

Happy Holidays Hey dudes,
Just wanted to say Happy New Year! and super after the fact Merry Christmas. I love reading all your journal entries and am filled with jealously as the weather here has been egregiously bad the last couple of months. Today in Van there's 100mm of rain expected! So enjoy the sun, look forward to reading the next one! Have fun and take care, ash.
word glad you guys made it out of corcovado alive! i spent a week or so in corcovado and the fer de lance's there can be pretty scary (i'm sure you guys heard about those)!
domincal has some great surf too and a more mellow atmosphere than jaco so check it out if you have time!
Camping is done for a while... And it came at the right time. We have been having the crazest storms at night. The thunder is bone chilling but super cool cause you are safe and under cover. It can rain really hard at times in the storm too. Our room was so humid last night that it actually was raining a bit in the room!
Can´t wait to check out your china trip. Hi to all the dewy´s!
hey pup hey pup,
I miss you guys too... i am defently feeling better now. Its nice to eat a meal and feel confidient you will hold it down. We got into Santa Teresa the other night. We will be staying at the funky monkey until the new years(Santa Teresa is just north of Mal Pais). We managed to score this sweet loft for christmas. Eric should be coming into town today. Talk to you soon... luv nastassia
minty hellos hey guys! Sounds like you both are perfecting the simple art of contracting food poisons - well done. I wish I could send you some plain, dry bread to help you through these trying times. Soda crackers anyone? Anyways, Christmas time is upon us - although it doesn't feel like it at all. Nastassia I miss you like crazy. Ben, take good care of her for me. Isn't it rad, Titia is emailing now! She sends me emails at work that crack me up - she's so animated, it's great! love you both. dmar.
Jaco Heyyy Max and I were at Jaco. He surfed and I met some teen movie star who was pretty upset that I didn't know who he was or where Hollywood was!!haha. Have you found the fluorescent land crabs yet? We will sure miss you at Christmas.
Hey Ben, you look pretty cool in you LuLu Lemon vest. Stick to the beer and forget the mayo. Is the canapy tour something mom and I would enjoy? Love Dad
Love the campsite on the beach Too bad 'bout the upset stomach. Does amodium help? Sure worked for us in China where we were told not to drink the water. Did you learn a little Spanish before you left?
Talked with Deci and Ben today and understand you will be settling into a place for Christmas. Good idea! Fun to check-in and get to know the neighbours. Our family will all be home, here in PG, for Christmas. Guess Beth will come on her own since she and her guy have gone separate ways...still friends.
I enjoy it so much when we can all visit together. Natassia my wish for you is to stay clear of Monta Zuma's revenge. I know Ben will take care of keeping you safe and in good spirits.
Merry Christmas
Love yah
Uncle bob
ps here is a link to our china trip
http://chinabrigade.blogspot.com/
Have one for us!!! Well, Ben and Nas - it looks like you are having a grand time. Wish we were there or even where we were a year ago. Such are the breaks.
Nice place to visit One of the ladies on our China trip is working on a blog now. This is a great way to keep in touch. How are you uploading your pictures?
I just finished an Alpine Touring trip into the McGregor mountains. Beautiful country and my 1st crack at alpine skiing. Would have been a great time except for freezing the tips of 8 of my fingers. Poor clothing for the event. Had 24 KM to do by skiidoo and 5km of climb (2200m vertical) They are numb still but still hanging on. Think your climate choice would have suited me better.
Cheers and good health
Uncle Bob
Lucky Kids HEllo my LITTle Sis, and Benjamina Glad to see you're having a great time.... I miss you both.. Great Job Ben on eating that pork stuff. And good job Nas on not eating it... That sounds horrible....Chris says Hello, and is glad that you're having a good time... I can't wait to see more pictures.... I love you both..... Your big sis Titia
Your dad will be proud of you Ben! HI Ben and Nas, I love your photos - especially the one of you smoking the "Stogie" Ben. Your dad will love that one!! It sounds like you are having a wonderful time. Can't beat the sun and sea!!! Keep the journals coming.
best surf days surfing with you guys was the best....we will also be living vicariously thru you from now on, but we will try to meet up again later in your journey, b/c really, that experience shouldn't be missed!
not fair....it looks beautiful we are back in CO....it is 22 degrees F outside, so only about -6 C... and you two are still living it up in the sun in Nicaragua! Thanks for the fun together, we will look forward to hearing all about it as you go!
Buenos Nachos right?!
Sleek as braids on eight grade picture day Hey guys! Miss you both. Nastassia, don't forget to send me mass amount of emails so I can live vacariously through you from work.
Miss you. love dmar
Living The Dream,
That was the name we selected when we set off on our first adventure out of Canada in November, 2006. Eight short months, and eight countries later, the love of my life, Nastassia Kunz was taken from me in a tragic bus accident just outside Sucre, Bolivia. She died doing one of the things she loved most, and I am thankful she had the chance to expand her horizons and open her eyes to this bizarre, beautiful, demented world we are a part of.
This travelblog is dedicated to my soulmate, who I shared the most amazing and beautiful 8 months of my life with while trave... full info
