August break

Here and There is hanging it up for a week. I’ve got my shorts, my snorkel, and my 25-percent DEET bug spray, and I’m heading to Venezuela with a good, good friend.

Maybe we chose an odd destination, given the current political situation. But Venezuela is not Costa Rica, Mexico, or Thailand, which is a big part of why we’re going there. Angel Falls, the world’s tallest waterfall, is reportedly breathtaking. We plan to stop off at Cueva del Guácharo, a large cave that is home to the nocturnal oilbird, which navigates by way of an echo system similar to sonar. Then on to the archipelago of Los Roques for some “rustic” beach camping and coral snorkeling.

July was a big month for Here and There. I’ve never posted so much in one month (29 posts), nor got so much traffic (somewhere in the range of 18,000 page views). I added a new category (technology), and in general, got back into the habit of regular updates.

Expect some photos of amazing shit in the next few weeks. I hope I can translate the Spanish lessons I hear well enough to be able to write about some of it here, too.

See you in a few weeks!
