Living Morganism

Hola mi amigos y mi amigas y mi familia, Aviv and I are well and getting tan on the shoulders and the universe is good. We have been meeting good people all along the way and making friends and learing paquena espanol as we go. Currently we have left the paradise like abode of Via Via in Leon and are staying tonight at the Hacienda Merida on Isla Ometepe. We arrived by ferry to Ometepe this morning having left Leon yesterday and spending much of the day spending many hours in busses. Public transportation a la Nicaragua is a fascinating experience deserving of the term adventure all on it's own. At one point we passed on the road the next bus we needed to take and pulled over in the middle of a highway got out and flagged down the new bus very speedily. We were unfortunately unable to get to the island yesterday and had to spend the night in Rivas which we gennerally agreed had bad vibes. We stayed in a hostel which of course couldnt live up to Via Via's standards but more tha

Dear everyone, I am here. Arrived yesterday without much ado Spanish keyboards will take getting used to. The details of my transport are a bit bland Suffice it to say in Nicaragua I stand (lit. sit). I promise I won´t write this whole email in rhyme to do so would take really far to much time. Basically I arrived, got through customs, got into a taxi then onto a minibus bound for Leon. A few choice words in Spanish, most of which were ¨"autobus", "Leon", and "expresso" and many blank, noncomprehending looks and I arrived there without incident. There was a very nice and importantly patient man seated next to me on the bus who kindly wrote out questions for me which I translated and attempted to respond to. I believe he was a police officer, but he also must have worked for some sort of childrens charity organization in Managua because he was very interested in whether I wanted to work (travajer) in Nicaragua for an N.G.O (O.N.G) in perhaps human rights (d

My aunt Andrea sent me a moose to capture (photographically) in exotic locations. The Moose unfortunately met with some difficulties when confronted by an overzealous border collie, who evidently took if for an illegal alien, and nearly lost an antler. I was able to save the affected antler and also to remove an unnecessary appendage (pictured). Time heals all wounds but it is unclear at this time whether I will regain the trust of this immigrant moose.

November 6, 2007 Hello Friends, family and miscellaneous loved ones! Yes I am sorry this is a mass email and if you're the sort that finds that kind of thing terribly offensive than I apologize and suggest you don't respond to this email, HOWEVER if you desire to receive sometimes brilliant, sometimes rambling and always amusing emails from me whilst I travel the world than I urge you to respond affirmatively! Let's rewind a bit though shall we? Yes, here's the story... I am going on a trip! Yay! Moments ago I rashly purchased a one way ticket to Managua, Nicaragua despite, shall we say, financial strain. My intent is to wander some pathless woods (rainforest's) and [not so (unless I find some)] lonely shores. My friend Aviv and I have similarly wanderlust induced motivations and have decided upon this course of action. The reason I am emailing all of my lovely friends, family and acquaintances is because; A. you are all lovely, and B. I thought you might like to he
