Visit Victoria Falls Zimbabwe: Peeing Rainbows

March 11 Visit Victoria Falls Zimbabwe.  It is an interesting town for the fact that there are warthogs running through the street like stray dogs.  There are elephants that come to town in the night to eat because the watered grass is better in town.  That is pretty cool… [su_note note_color=”#b0b1b6″ text_color=”#030303″ radius=”6″]I went to the Rose of Charity Orphanage today to see if they wanted me to volunteer for a couple of days.  Tomorrow is Saturday and they said...

Palomino: Pondering Relationships and Flings

Palomino: Pondering Relationships and Flings. August 6. It is crazy how far behind four days without internet can put me.  So I spent a lot of today laying in a hammock looking at the beach and catching up on life. Women are interesting creatures.  One day I think that quiet and shy ones like me because they like to have a leader, and then I meet a really outgoing woman and it turns out that she likes me because she...

Popayán to Cali: Hanging Out With a Stoner

Popayán to Cali: Hanging Out With a Stoner. July 14. Maartje! I just want you to know that I am pretty high right now. I am in Cali. I am not sure the last time I smoked pot. Maybe in November. I was bored and I needed a weird adventure. Now I am stuck with ‘high me’ who is never very smart. That is why I hardly ever smoke pot. I am not sure why people would ever constantly want...

Popayán: Heaven...

Popayán: Heaven…

Popayán: Heaven… July 11. Why is it that religious people need to try and shove their bullshit and their heaven in other people’s faces?  I have made a decision on what I think.  You have made a decision on what you think.  Let us just leave it at that.  But, no, they can not have it that way.  Their system, their values, and the book where they read about an invisible policeman and heaven is outdated.  We have governments to control...

Isla Floreana to Isla Santa Cruz: The Vomiting

Isla Floreana to Isla Santa Cruz: The Vomiting

Isla Floreana to Isla Santa Cruz: The Vomiting. June 24. Time to get back to a center, so I went down to the docks at 10am to find a boat driver that was heading from Isla Floreana to Isla Santa Cruz later in the day and found a captain who would take me for $30.  There are no tour operators and there is no one to sell you a ticket to get from Isla Floreana to Isla Santa Cruz if you did...

Isla Floreana, Galapagos – Entertaining Older Gals

June 22 I climbed a volcanic mountain in the afternoon and then spent the rest of the day drinking beer with a couple of older ladies, one of whom was Sheelagh from England, aged 63.  Entertaining Older Gals.  When the store that we wanted to buy beer from was on a siesta that seemed to be taking too long, Sheelagh went to the back door of the hotel and found herself in the kitchen.  Against the wall on the right...

Rurrenabaque: My New Little Circle

Rurrenabaque: My New Little Circle. May 15. I like walking down the street and dudes on motorbikes wave at me because I kicked their asses in pool last night.  I like this Rurrenabaque.  I could spend two weeks here in Rurrenabaque. There are red parrots in the trees that scream like children, in several different tones, and they tease the dogs who howl along and bark with the parrots.  It is obvious that they love taunting the dogs.  This went...

Montevideo to Buenos Aires: No Sleep City

Montevideo to Buenos Aires: No Sleep City. April 5. I woke up when Irmante was kicking the bottom of my bunk bed.  I looked down at her.  She told me it was noon.  Time to get moving from Montevideo to Buenos Aires.  We had to hurry to pull ourselves together to get to the ferry.  She was really hung over and sick and grumpy and miserable about everything.  But, she came through the other side. It cost us $37 U.S....

Vang Vieng Paradise of Laos Girls

Vang Vieng Paradise of Laos Girls [su_dropcap]V[/su_dropcap]ang Vieng. My paradise. Vang Vieng has a lot of things to do that can occupy a man’s day, including, it seems, local Laos girls who really like western boys. You can explore the caves, ride a tube down the river, party all day in the sun and in the riverside bar-shacks, and splash into the river on the giant rope swings. Another great way to spend your day is by doing nothing and...
