These paso montanias keep them warm and safe from any unsuspected pictures. It is totally not allowed to get a picture taken of you after you are about 7 or 8 years old. I think thats the same time in which you get your first machete. Makes sense....

Back in California

Its not just a rumor, you won't read it in the paper but you might see it on the news, Roberto, Nick and Devin are back in the country and are all heading towards Santa Barbara within the next week. No one is safe and all should run and hide because the barrage of stories will hit all family and friends with ferociousness and you better watch out. There will be no mercy! We arrived on Friday night and have been hiding out at La Milpa Organica (Nicks Dads farm) for the last couple of days. I decided to leave my lovely Isabella in Chiapas to ensure that I will be coming back sooner than latter. She is all broken up about it but I have a professional on the job and will be sending her pieces to put herself back together to be ready for our return trip come this summer. We took a 14 hour bus ride to Mexico City then had a flight out the same day around 6pm. We enjoyed walking around the city for a day it is really huge. A little to big in my opinion. We got three seets together on the plane and the celebration of our return began. After a shot I meen short three hour flight we stubbled off the plane only to breeze through customs to find Nicks Mom just pulling up. We piled ourselves in to the car and were on our way to Thai food. What a welcomeing it really doesn't get any better. Thank you Leslie! After a great meal with both of Nicks parrents we were off to the farm and some well deserved rest and relaxation. Our timing was impecable because it was both Nicks fathers birthday and My aunt Cynthias on Saturday so the celebrating continued. Happy birthday to you both again. About the r and r, an organic farm with lovely people and warm days is the best place to land after any traveling. It just brings me right back home to what is important here and where priorities lay in this land of temptation. It is now day three here and I will be leaving tomorrow with my father, Devin left yesterday and Nick will be here for another week sorting himself out. Our trip was a brutal success!! We learned soooooo much and had great fun doing it. The best study abroad trip ever, well until the next one we organize. There will be presentations about the trip showing pictures as well as footage. We hope to be ready with that in the next month or so then the film by summer time. I will still keep you posted via this site because the travel is not over, it will never be over as long as the three of us are alive we will travel the globe looking for progessive thinking, good organic food, and warm hearts. It will continue my friends I promiss so stay turned and eat organic...... Mucho Amor. Peace from the never ending road of restless travelers......
