Around July of '07 my marriage of 7 years came to an end.. That's a whole unbelievable (literally) blog in itself, but the point is that I've always been intrigued by interesting travels. As a programmer, I work remote and as long as I've got cel and internet connectivity with my wireless broadband card, I'm good to go. Ultimately I would like to backpack through Europe, but first, I'm taking a smaller trek out west to get a little experience with travels of larger magnitude (view my route at the right of this page). This site will be a place for me to chronicle my travels, leave some photos, and jot down any interesting things that happen that I might one day forget.

Arizona > New Mexico > El Paso

Saturday, December 8, 2007 - I arrived at my cousin Bryan's in El Paso to some Texas hospitality and a gigantic feast by Chef Monique. A pretty uneventful drive, outside of a little incident where one of my kayak mounts disassembled itself mid-trip and nearly launched my kayak off the side of my car (thank God I had my tools with me). Otherwise it provided some good time for me to study some Portuguese, and I also got some decent pictures out of my driver side window.
