Alaska!

With mixed feelings I am rolling out to Alaska today. I am leaving Natalie for the longest stint that we have been apart and that is sad but we are excited about the course and what it can mean for our future. This is going to be a great adventure. I am going to leave you with a few pictures of the last few weeks and I will get back to you soon.

Peace and Love and Good Food,


Mike

Bus news, Alaska Prep, ARI update

Well, I am in Colorado. I have left Texas for the summer, returning in August in time to get married to my dream girl. Before I left we got the bus titled, inspected, insured, and checked over by our friendly mechanics in Buda. She has been deemed road worthy and we are now planning the next steps in our remodel. As a gauge for the sheer size of Rambling Rose (AKA Rosie) I have posted a picture of all of my ladies (Natalie giving scale to Lola who in turn gives scale to Rosie) for you all to ponder. In August I will be bringing more updates as we make progress.

I leave for Alaska next week and it is just now sinking in how close that trip is to reality. I bought a new camera so I will be able to offer a full run down in the future, for now just know that it is going to be awesome.

I have received another update from ARI, and they are doing well. The participants have all arrived safely and they have begun the training program at the original host location at a farm in Tokyo while they continue to make repairs at ARI proper in Nishinasuno. Prayers and donations are still greatly appreciated and needed.

Have a great week wherever you are, find some friends, make some food, and start a conversation.


Peace and Love
Mike
