Amazon 2013
To fly to Iquitos, Peru is a bit like stepping back in time. You can only reach this small town by plane or boat and you are surrounded by the Amazon, the lush forest and rich biological diversity. Cars are rare so most people use motorcycles. We were met by the staff of the Aqua, our yacht on the Amazon and off we went for our adventure. We spent two full days exploring the Amazon River. We … [Read more...]
Trek to Macchu Picchu- a sacred journey

Earlier this week, I shared the Earthfire Institute … [Read more...]

The government protects the environment and the spiritual values of the predominant Buddhist population. The days flow with a state of harmony and presence. Bhutan has synergy- between government and the people, between … [Read more...]
April in Grand Teton Park- grizzlies, pelicans, swans, elk and much more
April is considered off season in Jackson Hole. Locals journey to sunny spots. Restaurants offer discounts. Hotels close for spring cleaning. The town has a restful feel. It's the ideal month to drive into Grand Teton Park. Grizzles are moving and two sows with cubs frequent Oxbow Bend. I watched a cub dig for pocket gophers. Amazing how present animals can be. It didn't care one bit that a line … [Read more...]
Spring is here!
The first day of Spring- March 20, 2013! In Jackson, it is snowing which is typical weather in March. It is a bit harder to see signs of spring when living in the mountains. Tulips, daffodils, and lilacs are a long ways off. Even so, changes are occurring. Bears have been seen for about a week so bear spray is needed when touring. Birds are migrating back to the valley. Red-winged Blackbirds, … [Read more...]
