Trying not to lose my mind while I raise and homeschool these kids. I am not a teacher, but an awakener." -Robert Frost. Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality."-Beatrix Potter. Sunday, July 29, 2012. Summer Science Fest at McKinley Museum. We were greeted in the foyer by the robot. The kids take turns making the robot "talk". What science evening is complete without dry ice? Add dry ice to water and dishsoap? 3 kids, 2 seats. You do the math. This yea...

Around the World and Back Again: December 2011
http://jonandkarentravels.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Around the World and Back Again. Sunday, December 11, 2011. So we went out early this morning for our bird watching trip. We drove about an hour and then took a small boat across to a small island in the middle of Lake Peten (that's where we are). We then basically walked across the island in search of birds. We found a few but not as many as we would have like or as they told us we would! Oh well that's nature. It was a nice warm day to walk around. Saturday, December 10, 2011. We climbed to the highest...

Around the World and Back Again: Greetings from Guatemala
http://jonandkarentravels.blogspot.com/2011/12/greetings-from-guatemala.html
Around the World and Back Again. Friday, December 9, 2011. This morning we woke up to the sounds of howler monkeys. It's not quite howling but really very loud grunting. We recorded it an if we can figure out how we'll post is. We took a trip to Tikal today. A large and probably the most famous of the Mayan sites. It is a huge complex that is still only about 25% excavated. Will post just one photo. This is the lake near where we are staying. This is the view from the place meals are served.

Around the World and Back Again. Saturday, February 20, 2010. Sacred Valley Day 3. Saturday, February 20, 2010. Interesting Fact: An alpaca can live up to 20 years and the fiber does not shrink like wool. Friday, February 19, 2010. A word on guinea pigs. At least the place we had it, it didn't look like the whole animal - just like legs (like a chicken or turkey or whatever). There are times that they serve it as a whole roast and then it does look like a little rodent - just roasted and no fur. As darkn...

Around the World and Back Again. Tuesday, February 1, 2011. The trip was a great as usual. The Australian people were amazingly friendly and helpful and generally just upbeat and happy about most things."no worries" is a theme. Of course, speaking English (well, Australian English! Was a plus and made things even easier to get around. Once again, we spend 2 weeks straight together 24 hours every day without one of us mysteriously disappearing into the bush.

Around the World and Back Again: November 2008
http://jonandkarentravels.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Around the World and Back Again. Sunday, November 16, 2008. I had grand intentions of getting a lot of work done on the photos on the 15 hour plane flight home, but that didn't really happen. I will work on them and post them soon I hope. A couple of funny things that I was going over in my head on the way home that we saw along the way that I thought I'd add here now. Cows, goats, ox, chickens, dogs, and most people, do not respond to car horns. That doesn't stop Indians from using them constantly.

Around the World and Back Again: Yaxha
http://jonandkarentravels.blogspot.com/2011/12/yaxha.html
Around the World and Back Again. Saturday, December 10, 2011. After a lazy morning, we took an afternoon trip to another Mayan site called Yaxha. It is about 2 hours from the hotel and would have been about a 2 week walk from Tikal in Mayan days. It is significantly less well excavated than Tikal and what is has mostly been rebuilt because its in a poor state of repair from almost 1500 years of the jungle regrowing. Tomorrow we have an early start to a place that's supposed to be good for birds.
