One Way to Cross a River

We crossed several rivers on our survey, and i thought i would post pictures of one way. On a bamboo raft. 

More Survey Pictures

 I thought I would post more pictures from the survey I went on.

this a small restaurant where we ate several of our meals.

the remains of what used to be a nice highway.

this used to be a great highway. but landslides have wrecked parts of it.

in the a village asking questions.

Running

So, My Mom was very interested where I go running, and since she was not likely to go up there I took a few pictures last run.
Part of the trail is old road, and the rest is trail trail. I thought it was pretty up there, and thought i would share the pictures.

some of the pictures are blurry because cameras don't like to focus while on the move. Sorry:)

this is what the sky looks like at sunrise.

You can see our town behind Richard. this is one the way home

Yes Richards hair is always that cool.

one of the only time i was ahead of Richard.

i come home with cut up legs every run from the tall grass.

Filming Again

 I really should be doing school at the moment. but to get myself going i had to do a blog post.I am not sure if that really works but whatever.

Yesterday Kaleb, Richard and I started filming again, we want to get one  more movie out before my bike totally falls apart. which it appears to want to do. the teeth on second gear on the front are gone. and some of the teeth on the back are too. I can still fly downhill though. so thats a good thing.

Of course a ride is never really  right unless something goes wrong, and we all goof off. So to keep things going good I broke my chain and took an hour fixing it. (i should have had it fixed in about 15 minutes, but with threading it through wrong, twisting it, and losing my pin, it sorta took a while). and Richard got a flat. and of course we had to climb a tree that over looked a cliff. (which you cant really see in the picture. it looked much more impressive in reality) and I wiped out twice. but only have bruises to show for it. nothing really cool.

Richard had to climb a tree to pose for us.

and i tried but did not have  any success getting into the tree. 

My broken chain

But it was a good time

checking out the view from up in a tree.

I was informed that my last post was full of errors. and i am sure this one is too. i am sorry but i really dont have time to go re-read everything i wrote. so enjoy the pictures, and forget about the spelling and grammar for a while. :)

How Fast Does Time Travel?

  well, according to blogger I have not posted in almost two months. That is quite a shame due to the amount of things that have happened, and the amount of things I have learned. But that is the way things go I guess, when time finally get super interesting you have not time to write about them.    

Anyway  things went by so fast that I never  really had time to hear myself think, nor to write about it.  In the process of life I kinda missed Christmas and new years, and I think I had a birthday after my last post too. And stopped and started school.  The biggest thing that happened was that i   went on a three day survey with one of the missionary’s here. It was quite a privilege to be able to go, and I learned an incredible amount of things.   I shall  do a long post on that sometime I hope.

I should also mention that I won a small tournament, and that I started a small business stringing rackets.

And second most important (not really) is that I found a band, or orchestra, called Trans-Siberian Orchestra.  And I got their album ‘Night Castle’ for Christmas, and bought their album ‘Beethoven’s Last Night’ it is totally the best modern music out there. At least that I have found.   It is sorta rock with an orchestra, and a classical twist to it. Really neat.

Also my parents went away for their anniversary  and I said up all night playing PS2 with a friend. I got completely sick with cookies and ice cream, and lack of sleep but I enjoyed my self to my full extent.

And sadly there was a huge flood in CDO, the city we go to when we want to shop, had a huge flood and six hundred plus people died. 

 Hopefully i will get to post again soon.
