hello from belize!

my tent stakes blew out two nights ago also…BAD TIMES. it was in the middle of some tropical torrential downpour at 2:30am and one side of the rainbow collapsed and fell on my while i was sleeping, drenching me, my sleeping bag and my clothes. then i had to fight my way out of the tent and run in just my underwear across a meadow-turned-lake to get to the local community center where i could get inside out of the rain. it was quite an adventure. you would have laughed.

i got to pet a jaguar a few days ago, and yesterday i held a baby armadillo and hung out with some howler monkeys. life is looking up. it’s good to be away from home – things were pretty much shit-terrible back in california. but now i’m in tropical paradise, with the crazy animals and bugs and weather. i miss the PCT so much though…using all my old gear brings back so many memories.

okay, i’ll stop rambling. i just miss talking to people who actually know me, so you get to be the recipient of this lengthy message. hope japan is going swimmingly!

Craig I read your posts and look at your pics but I still can’t quite believe this is for real!

Hope all is well, thinking of you.

The pin-wheel photos are amazing.
Did a little research on pinwheels on grave sites “The continual movement suggests constancy, perhaps of affection. The wind which propels the tiny mills evokes the spirit”
