    The Mission…

    The Mission…

    Swinedate: September 29, 2011. Location: Unknown. Possibly wrapped in a T-shirt. The Mission: Reviving this blog – because someone’s got to do it!   The tools at hand are few, but many a Swine have succeeded where mankind have failed before. Hooves beat scissors beat bag, y’know.  Very soon, I will journey to the city [...]

    One Year Later

    One Year Later

    Today is a good day to remember some of the cool things we did during our trip. Exactly one year ago, we were on our way back from Nagarkot, Nepal. We were pretty roundly hung over, thanks to the scrumptious and thoroughly wet feast our landlord had thrown the night before. All we wanted to [...]

    Giving Thanks for Food

    Giving Thanks for Food

    I’ve started a new side project (btw: this is Jaime). It’s my Daily Beeswax. Check it out…or read my latest post, then check it out: I’m going out on a limb to call Thanksgiving what it is: a foodie holiday. Sure, it’s a time to remember why you’re thankful. Yes, it’s a nice break from the [...]

    My Dumb Little Protest

    My Dumb Little Protest

    If you’d seen me just one minute ago, you would have caught me in a rather telling position. With one hand covering my eyes and one on my keyboard, I was scrolling through our website, peeking through my fingers at our recent posts. How many days have passed since I’ve last made an appearance? My [...]

    Guns ‘n Ammo

    Guns ‘n Ammo

    Growing up in Europe, we had all these ideas about America. You know the usual stereotypes: burgers, cowboy hats, endless opportunities and extreme violence fed by a complete lack of gun regulation. This last bit about the violence was no doubt fed by the hours and hours we’d spent watching cop shows such as Kojak, [...]

    A Sure Sign

    A Sure Sign

      If buying two Iphones isn’t a sign of us being back in the 21st century, I don’t know what is. The other day, Jaime flew up to San Francisco for a bit of business and came back with not one, but two of these bad boys. Needless to say we’ve had our noses pointed [...]

    A Personal Connection to the Smithsonian

    A Personal Connection to the Smithsonian

    Once upon a time my Dad raced airplanes. Yes, you read the right. There is such things as racing airplanes. For those of you who haven’t been to a race, it’s sort of like NASCAR – a fast race ran around a track. But that’s where the similarities end. The machines racing are airplanes, so [...]

    The World Cup from Over Here

    The World Cup from Over Here

    I’ve had the privilege of watching the World Cup from a number of different locations. The most memorable one was in a backpacker hostel in Broome, Australia. The place was packed with people from all over the world, and a whole bunch of us decided that it would be a good idea to hole up [...]

    Bacon Puts his Hoof Down!

    Bacon Puts his Hoof Down!

    Since no one else is stepping up to the plate, Bacon asked if he could put a post together for the betterment of this blog. Unfortunately, his paws are not fit to type on a keyboard, so I’ve volunteered to help the little oinker out. First of all, Bacon thinks we’re doing a lousy job [...]

    Jersey Shore: Living Up To The Hype

    Jersey Shore: Living Up To The Hype

    The ladies are burned to a bronzed crisp. The men’s hairdos are greased into stiff perfection. The sun is shining and tanned skin is as abundant as bad taste. This is the Jersey Shore, a surreal strip of boardwalk that has been featured in a number of popular reality television shows recently. We were in [...]

    The Sunny Center of the Free World

    The Sunny Center of the Free World

    The Forum Romanum, Trafalgar Square and the National Mall in Washington, DC. These are all big stacks of monuments, gathered together to impress visitors to each capital. The white marble monuments speak of warlike efforts, of heroism in the face of danger and of the self-glorification of the ruling people. What makes the Mall stand [...]

    The Amazing Graduate

    The Amazing Graduate

      My sister hated to go to school. She could come up with a million and one excuses why she shouldn’t go. Her throat tickled. She hadn’t slept well. Her stomach hurt. There were bumps in her socks (that was one of her favorites). Just over a week ago, in New York’s Madison Square Garden, [...]

    Not What We Thought We’d Have to Fear

    Not What We Thought We’d Have to Fear

    I think food is half the journey. I love trying new things, experiencing new flavors and making mental notes on how I’ll enrich my cooking once I come home. There’s also that element of fear involved: will my stomach be able to handle this stuff? Are deep-fried bamboo worms really safe to eat? Coming back, [...]

    Cheers to CKO Kickboxing!

    Cheers to CKO Kickboxing!

    One thing we’ve been missing throughout most of our trip is regular work-outs. The muscle groups used in long-term backpacking are surprisingly few: mostly a bit of shoulder work (for carrying those 80 lb backpacks) and some stamina-enhancing rushes between connecting buses. Throw in the odd 8 oz arm curl (aka beer drinking) and you [...]
