Barcelona Chronicles: The Spanish Circus…
Continued from Enlivened by the Underground… (Note: My camera became terminally ill at the beginning of my stay in Barcelona. Thus, my photos of the city and my experiences are uncharacteristically sparse.) Barcelona. Barcelona. Barcelona. She is ruthless. She is fiery. She is an enchantress that has both charmed me and ravaged me. Her perfumes [...]
Enlivened by the Underground…
Continued from You’re So Vain… The ground above Hitler’s old bunker, where he shot himself after his fall from power, is a parking lot. Good to know. The tour guide joked that Germans now bring their dogs to poo in that lot. Nothing more than a sign flags the historical space. The tour guide informed [...]

And Many were the Nations with Whose Manners and Customs She was Acquainted…
Continued from Many Cities Did She Visit… Click here to view the entire Flickr photo album. I don’t really know how to share everything there is to share about my experience with Selvin. There is so much that I encountered with him, so much that I learned from him. He’s unspeakably complex and compelling. I [...]
Many Cities Did She Visit…
Continued from “With a Ticket to Central America…” The culture and art I was so sorely missing in San Pedro Sula, Honduras abounded in Antigua, Guatemala. Even before I arrived, I could feel the buzz of Antigua’s creative energy. On the ten hour bus ride I had unearthed an Antigua area guide. It was filled [...]
With a Ticket to Central America…
Continued from “Who Traveled Far and Wide…” I’ve used “the L-word” just once before with a man. With that man, though, the L-word couldn’t even be. Before and after that one moment, I would jump, shirk, and cringe and the mention of “the L-word” with another man. Not with Michael. With Michael, “I love you” [...]

Of that Impulsive Lass…
Continued from “Tell me, O muse…” In all honesty, although Michael had caught much of my attention, I wasn’t expecting too much. I had plans for Honduras and they didn’t include staying in SPS for too much longer. But, Michael was a go-get(her)… The next day Michael came and picked me up for our lunch [...]
Montuca Photo Shoot
Montuca was impressed with the pics I snapped at their concert a couple weeks ago. So they asked me to do a photo shoot with them. More pro bono work. Experience was good. But Laura needs to get paid!! Background was uncontrolled unfortunately in this shoot. I advised them to be aware of that the [...]
Fleeing to Lago de Yojoa
Pics from the oasis of bliss amidst a falling apart romance. I fled to Lago de Yojoa and Michael came to get me and woo me back. Unfortunately, we were rocky again a couple days later. But, there was a moment at the Lake with Michael that was among the best. Click here to see [...]
Ohio Adventures
I never got to write about my fun in Ohio. I’m so backlogged that I don’t know if I ever will. Hopefully the pics will tell the story! Enjoy!! I had a great time with a fellow couchsurfer, Bill, and my friend Jake! Click here to see the full album of pics from Hocking Hills, [...]
Muay Thai Fighters
I did blog about Muay Thai training in Thailand in March 2008. Now, I’m finally getting all the pics online. Click here for full Flickr album.
Enchanted Bern
There’s no question Bern had a bit of enchantment locked within its mossy colored buildings. Pics are again from March 2008. Click here for the full Flickr album.
Vienna Granduer
In Vienna, you don’t feed the ducks. You feed the swans. These pics are from Mar 2008. Click here to see the entire Flickr album.
Graveyard in Salzburg
A couple pics of a graveyard in Salzburg, Austra that I took in Mar 2008 and never found time to post. I was staying with an intriguing couchsurfer who was academic by day and death metal goth by night. He influenced my dark, graveyard pics. Click here to see more in my Flickr album.
In Too Deep… Deep Love, Deep Diving!
Too much time has passed and too much has happened over my blogging absence to give the typical, LMAC “novel” account of everything. So, in attempt to give everyone a glimpse of what I’ve experienced so far, I’m just going to bullet list them and follow the list with applicable pics and vids. * Carlos [...]
Murky Mangroves
The last post from my previous Honduras trip was a video of some of my adventure at Jungle River Lodge. I have much more to elaborate from my stay there: spending 2 awesome nights there before heading out on a little excursion with fellow couchsurfer Kat, then returning for a few more nights. For now [...]
Fishing for a Better Standard of Living
Here’s a novel idea when running a business that manages more than a thousand employees: “We try to do basically everything to make them feel they are like partners not workers. Everybody is on bonus system, everyone can basically gain more from the company’s success, so everybody feels like it’s their project. That’s the kind [...]
Billy’s Story
Billy’s story really isn’t about Billy at all. Rather, it’s about the people he’s been working with nearly everyday for the past five years. Billy’s story is the story of the Chortí Maya, the direct descendants of the ancient Mayans. Billy describes them as Honduras’ “conquered people.” “They used to own all of this land [...]
Dreamin’ in the Moonlight
I slept just above these moonlit rushing rapids for a few blissful hours nearly every night during my stay at Jungle River Lodge. The Lodge is located about 25 km outside of La Ceiba, Honduras on the Rio Cangrejal. I’ll write more later when I get a chance. Right now, I’m working at the Farm [...]
Ex-convicts, Livng Angels, Former Cult Members, Young Activists, Guapo Locals
The adventure began not two hours after I arrived in Copan Ruinas. I had already checked in at the hostel where I would be staying, Iguana Azul. I choose to bunk in a room with 5 beds because it was cheapest and I figured it would open up the opportunity to meet fellow travelers. As [...]
