The Vacation is On..... Trying to Die...

Sorry I don´t blog as much as Bram. Making myself homesick isn´t what my vacation is about. Anyway, we´re off to the jungle for a Marlowish adventure. We plan to test the limits of human sanity spending something like 10 days in a little jungle canoe, sleeping in hammocks. I promise I´m going to eat about 1000 Pirhanna.. So if you don´t hear from us in 3 weeks.. Well my Mom´s getting the postcard; she´ll know what to do..

So before we left.. Cousin´s was closed. We´re very sorry. Thanks if you came out and kept us up way too late anyway..

Like Mellissa. Like everyone else I went to high school with, she´s cooler now..

It was a regular ¨breakfast at 10 pm¨ type affair

Robert from Fishing was there. And Katie with one of those hats on. She´s allowed though..

And the Strangler. He had on a wild eagle sweater..

There are 2 people we have discussed ¨should have split a ticket for¨´s.. Jimbo is definately #1..

I guess people wanted to party with us; or at least with Bram..

In some circles this might be date rape.. Oh yeah, Kaytee was in town..

This is where you pretend I didn´t post party pictures. There is tons of politically motivated graffiti around.. Like this on our hostel..

You could film 2000 leagues under the sea in the foundation of this house.

The reason we got on the plane in the first place.. Mucho Gnarly..

The view from Quito´s oldest observation tower..

I haven´t seen that many wild dogs yet. But I promise to pick one up at some time.

See Mom, it´s not the stone age. Not in Quito at least..

There aren´t many cool looking cyclists. This guy was super old though and totally killing it..

On Sunday it rained like crazy. Something like 45 people died in the mountains in a bus crash..

This is a poor first installment of ¨Backpacker Trash¨a photo essay that Bram and I are working on..

Bram posted hella handsome photos of me and he can see his photos and everything. How about this for a blind one?

Or this one?

View from the towers of death...

And the floor of death..

Bramwell sitting somewhere you could never sit in North America..

I shot alot more film.. So you´re gonna have to wait for super tourist photos..

One of these...

Oh wait. There were two...

Tourist photos for Mommies..

I´m upset that they installed slightly safer ladders. There would be fewere people making out if you still had to climb these ones..

Ever walk on the ceiling of a cathedral that is closer to 500 than 300 years old?

Backpacker trash vol.2

This fruit cup costs something like 40 cents..

There is a very tiny girl on rollerblades at the bottom of Mamo Mega..

Yet another spot Cardiel did something gnarly at that is very difficult to Ollie. Bram felt obligated and got it done..

You´ll be happy to know that Womyn´s rights groups aren´t exactly sweeping the nation..

Bram and I were thinking we´d get a scooter. So we did.. Err.. No.. But that´s what it would look like.. Only cooler because our clothes are filthy..

¨You know, his tail is alot softer than I thought it would be.¨ Good skate obstacle..

Tourist Trap...

Sucker...

So, I´ll be in touch. Get out of town.. Skate or Die.. If you want a postcard, send me your adress..

"Relatively Safe, but Sounding Very English."

That was generally the title of Bram's first E-mail home the last time he was Ecuador. That's pretty much our status.

Tops..
food. skating. sun. Living on less that $10 a day total. That includes room and board..

Bottoms..
30 something backpackers that think it's spring break at lake Havasau.
Language Barriers.
That I look like adventures of lobster boy because of the sun.
Altitude because sometimes I feel like I'm about to fall over.


Photos will follow sometime..

"The Good Life is out There Somewhere, so Stay on my Arm You Little Charmer."

I'm very over this right now. But....

If someone picked up the bill, I would drink nothing but canned Arizona Iced Tea for one whole year. That includes beer. Takers?


I haven't blogged food in a long time. This doesn't look impressive, but it might be one of my favourite meals. Spaghetti tossed in olive oil, garlic and chilis with spinach and feta.. So good.


I've been pretty wasted; but I get by with a little help from my friends..

Andy is taking off too..

His fortune was favourable..


I guess Blade and the Strangler showed up..



If I were the praying type, I'd be praying for Andy to have a killer ride.. Endless Scummer bro.. Get out there..


Bram's lucky he rides a freewheel. Otherwise he'd be bumming right now..

Tuesday Night Karaoke.. Brady kicks ass.. Funny dude..

Matt M and Freya??

More of the Strangler..

Katie didn't want to be blogged. Plus, correction Katie D does not have a BF.

The Luke show was in effect, although a little subdued..

And of course Corey, Mark and Benji were there.


The stage lighting is lacklustre..

But Brady's vest is solid gold.. Who said you can't shine a turd?

Bramwell in his travel set-up.. 3 months, 3 shirts. Who wants to party?

Mikey B don't sing..

Ty with his harem. Loren and Derra.. Both cooler than I let on..

Strangler and I killed "Under Pressure."

This might be boobs. I'm pretty sure it's not a dink..

Tyborg's vacation is over.. Endless Bummer..

I guess we were the only people in the place..

I'm very into busting people making out right now.

While inthe neighborhood, you have to stop by..




This should have made for a more interesting Wednesday night..


Thursday.. Dudes with glasses..

Only Mark can do it like Mark..

Laura got punched in the face again..

WOOOH PARTY!! Sorry I was sort of vacant if you wanted to party with me..

Hot Gossip? Ladies, I know.. You don't have to whisper..

Teri-Lynn and some bimbo. Dear chicks, don't bleach your hair..

Or dry hump dudes in public..


Do chat with Tara and Scott though..


This was Scott making fun of hula-hoops..


So Monday night at Cousin's. Around 7:30ish, but if people are being radical we'll be there all night. Come hang out..

BRAMWELL and I are out..


This is the death of your summer nights..


"And I'll probably never see you again.. I'll probably never see you again.. "
