Monday, April 28, 2008. Insert favorite bathroom joke here. On Saturday, Jer and I and a handful of our Peace Corps pals participated in a minga where we were constructing composting toilets. We are planning to build some of these in Waoani communities next month, so we wanted to learn more about the process. Here are some action shots from the sponsoring organization, Global Pediatric Alliance:. Http:/ www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp? Friday, April 25, 2008. Agua no es yapa. ¡Cuidala! Tuesday, April 22, 2008.

Monday, September 29, 2008. So I hate to drag this long convoluted story out even more.but I am going to anyway. Over the weekend, instead of typing up the dramatic conclusion of my latest tale, Jer and I went with some friends on a short hike to the Hola Vida waterfall. We also took a hike down to the Pastaza River where we saw some cool wildlife including monkeys, walking sticks, crazy cool spiders and beetles and this cute little guy.

Ciao 79: Peanut Pact
http://ciao79.blogspot.com/2009/01/peanut-pact.html
Monday, January 26, 2009. Lucky for me, Casey is a very generous person and usually shares the wealth. Clif bars for her, meant Clif bars for me. So imagine our conundrum when we learned that Clif bars were being recalled- -something about a peanut poisoning that is plaguing the U.S. of A. Huh? Her dad, being a doctor, texted her and recommended she throw them away. So, what is a poor, hungry Peace Corps Volunteer to do? Do you just throw out 100 Clif bars? Good decision. Over here in Belfast I am wi...

Monday, June 30, 2008. Sorry for leaving my blogstalkers hanging. I haven’t had much time or energy to write of late. Let’s just say it has been a bit of a rollercoaster of a month.

Sunday, November 30, 2008. The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. One word: absolutely freaking amazing. Okay, that is three words, but whatever. 4 days, 45 km, 13,000 foot mountains. Incredible. One of the coolest things I have ever done in my life. No time to write now, just wanted to let my blog stalkers know that we all made it. Many stories to tell some day. Gotta run. Ciao for now. Friday, November 21, 2008. Wednesday, November 19, 2008. SHE: "So what part of the U.S. are you from? ME: "The state of Ohio".

Ciao 79: February 2009
http://ciao79.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 12, 2009. Introducing: Amazon Partnerships Foundation. No, I am not suffering from a contaminated Clifbar-induced coma. Just writers block. Actually, that is a lie, I don’t have writers block: I just haven’t had much motivation to blog lately. I admit I have a lot on my mind as I try to wind up my Peace Corps service and transition back to life stateside. So, one thing that has kept me busier of late (and a topic that I have been meaning to blog about is) Amazon Partnerships Foundation.
