This is my first test of blogger. I've been reading lots of blogs for the last few months and as always am a latecomer to incorporating new technology into my routine, so here it goes.

I hope to use this to keep you all up to date on our activities as we plunge down to 23.5 Degrees North and points south all the way to Honduras. As most of you know, we'll be doing this from now until the end of summer when we'll resurface into the real world of jobs, traffic, alarm clocks, etcetera, etcetera; only we'll be doing this in Europe.

About the use of the word "real" to describe the daily life most of us know, I'll spend some time correcting this on a later post dealing with perception and reality.
