The Announcement and How to Reach Us

Hello hello hello!

Wendy and I have just wrapped up our lives and house and jobs in Berkeley and are planning to move to the Puget Sound, where we can live closer to nature. Where we can sail and hike in big mountains. Where we can read and write and sew and build boats and so forth. But before that happens, this is an opportune and long-awaited chance to travel!

Here are our plans, or at least our trajectory:

July - September 2009: Bicycle trip! We'll start in Washington around July 16th, head east over the Cascades to Glacier National Park, then head south through Western Montana to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. From there it's Salt Lake City and down to the Four Corners area (Moab, Durango, that enchanted part of the world).


October 2009: Yoga! Wendy is attending an intensive Ana Forrest yoga teacher training for almost the whole month. I'll be getting to know Colorado in the meantime.

November 2009: February 2010: South Africa! A second summer for the year, spent in the paradise of Stefan's home near Cape Town. Think backpacking, sewing, road trips, friends, safari, and wine.

March and April 2009: Sailing trip! The Amazing Don wants to bring his catamaran Double Felix up to Florida from Rio Dulce, Guatemala. This would take us through the reef of Belize and the Yucatan. We're thinking about getting down there from San Diego by bus.

To contact us, try the cell phone (six-one-nine-nine-eight-seven-eight-three-seven-nine) or our emails. During the bike trip, I'll be getting mail from my mom every two weeks (I'll explain why later), so if you have a burning desire to send us something, that can go to 11449 Madera Rosa Way, San Diego, CA 92124. Even a mildly warm desire will suffice.
