... gorge. So buggy that I didn't hang around & luckily got a ride back up the hill first try. Had intended to get up for the 5.20am session today, but as I had slept badly the previous 3 nights, turned over & went back to sleep - will try again manaņa! Got in my exercise with a walk to the viewpoint on the top of Cerro de los Serpientes - had some company in the form of a big black hairy dog from the Ashram called Aries - he pretty ...

... m going to keep surfing and possibly host some day. I was hosted by a girl and her family and they accepted me like family. They only let people stay for a day so she said I could stay at her friends house the next day. Her friends house was nice and it had a pool. They ended up taking me out on the town and we had a good time.

Written from Jalcomulco, Mexico: A phone call was just received directly from Jordan at 19:35 our time. Joel is awake and recognizes his brother as well as other friends and family. He has little memory of the incident but is making jokes and talking about kayaking. One lung continues to labour but the doctors plan to take him out of the ICU tomorrow. The family will be sending us further updates as they come along.

... Air Ambulance. He was then transferred into the care of the Foxflight Air Ambulance attendants and is currently enroute to the ICU at the London Health Science Centre. The Scott family were met by the entire WILD staff and students at the hospital and each of the family was able to visit with Joel before his early morning transfer. The entire family are currently enroute from Mexico City to Toronto and will meet with Jordan and Joel around 2300h EST. With ...

We are still in Jalcomulco despite the fact that we should have travelled to Huatulco on Saturday. It started when the bus and van broke down last week and were not fixed by the time we should have left. We had a day finishing our first aid testing on Saturday then a planning day on Sunday for a two day Barranca Grande trip, to be planned and carried out without any instructors, starting on Monday.

How appropriate is it that on the Day of the Dead (as it is in Mexico) that I should have my face-off with the Bruja Blanca (White Witch) of the Pescados. As the river comes down this rapid, almost the entire flow hits a wall, creating a large recirculating pillow of water. The challenge for us was to ...

... it had not kicked in. We went to Jalapa because our friend Walter Garcia wanted to show us Jalapa. It's where his family live and we stayed with them. There was a boy who stayed off school to go on a hike with us, and before we went on a hike just by ourselves to the hill with the cross on top. The cross was made of wood. Jalapa is near the border of Honduras and is higher up in the mountains. When we went on the big hike, we walked by a river ...

... me get me wrong its still fun to teach but sometimes the institutions are somewhat lacking in direction or at least some type of understanding. For example, I already said I wasn't coming back at least in Colegio las Hayas but now they think that my 5 year olds should at least be producing in English to each other. I dont mind really in trying to make it work ie. stopping them when they ask ´´dejame ver ...

... this Dec.!!!) and a few other volunteers on what is quite possibly my favorite ride EVER!!! It was completely unattended to and we were constantly dodging hanging vines, trudging through mud, getting poked with spiny plants and all other kinds of fun stuff that happens when you are out in the wild. I had a horse named "Arbolito" and he was very competitive, not unlike someone I know, ahem! Hehe and he constantly raced with the leader so I was cantering around non-stop ...
