well, i guess it´s time for me to start this thing up again, since I´m travelling again now. man, I'm in uruguay. It's really cool, never thought I would be here tho. I guess you never know where life will take you. It took me two days on the bus to get here, and was a brutal ride. Not so bad, but when I arrived, I was sore and exhausted. Travelling is tough, good thing I'm doing it while I´m still kinda young. I think when you get older you can't put up with so much. So, I spent a [View Full Entry]

Man, I made it. Victory is sweet. You know, looking back on ten months of travel to get here, I have a lot of thoughts. But here ends my trip, and so ends this blog. I don´t really want to try to tell about my times here. This is a different phase of my trip, and plus the internet in rio is really expensive. As are a lot of things. But it´s worth it, because I´ve never seen a city so cool! And I got an appartment one block from the beach with an ocean view. It´s between copacabana and ipenema, [View Full Entry]

When you cross that border over into brasil, it´s like you´re entering a whole new country. You don´t know what anyone is saying, and it is a totally different culture unlike anything you have ever seen. In the last few days, I was in 3 countries. I was in Paraguay, then I went to Argentina for a day, and went to Iguazu falls there. It was pretty cool. There were rainbows, butterflies, waterfalls, and flowers. I liked it. I was hiking in the jungle by the falls, and this girl was looking at a bird. I stopped and looked with her. [View Full Entry]

well, I'm not there yet, so it's a bit of hopeful thinking, but I soon will be, if all goes well. It's been a while since I wrote a blog, and there's a good reason why, so I'll try to write one now. I'm just waiting for my bus, to take me away to new lands where I wasn't expecting to go they weren't expecting me, I'm always a stranger surrounded by foriegners cause I'm the foriegner... Last night, I went to the bus terminal in la paz at around nine, thinking to go to Sucre, and from there to paraguay. [View Full Entry]

my boy ed just remixed this track, which we recorded in Bogota, and I wrote in La Vega while searching for my friend Sarah's mom, so now the vocals are good and you can download it from the internet! Check it out. My friend Ed Leonard is from New York and makes lots of beats and does production. He made this beat using some samples from Miles Davis´s kind of blue album, a jazz classic that I love. Thanks for the remix Ed! Ed´s currently in Cali doing some recording, and we are gunna meet up later in brasil probably [View Full Entry]

so, finally I made it to the ecuator. It's not that hot, quito is pretty chilly cause it's so high. I had very little time to enjoy it, and didn't feel like doing anything, cause all I was focused on was getting to lima to meet my parents. But, despite being rushed, I had a real special time. I showed up with my friends from swizerland, and we went out for fondue. It was kinda neat to do a fondue, the last proper one I had had was high in the swiss alps. But then they were off to galapagos. [View Full Entry]

it's mostly a peaceful city though I met some english blokes this morning who were abducted. They got in a taxi, these two fellas, in came some guys with knives, and took them somewhere with guys with guns. Handcuffed em. Took all their valuables, camera, mp3 player. Held a gun to their head and asked for the atm pin number. Then they held the guys there for 24 hours, getting all the money they could. They fed them tap water (horror!) and gave them hotchocolate once, I was given to understand. Also, and apple. Then they let them go and [View Full Entry]
