Well Its certainly been a while since my last post, I'm sure noone will even read this unless of course they have an automatic alert setup. Anyway, I just visited my own blog today for the first time in months.
Well to recap a bit: I got so far behind on the weekly entries that I just called "no joy" and gave up. I was two weeks behind and then went to Vietnam and China for 2 weeks and that pretty much sealed the deal. An amazing trip and a severe perspective shift for sure. I highly recommend it. At the very least it will make you ashamed to be a westerner after you see what they can accomplish with limited resources.
I ended up extending my stay until the end of july and returning to the good ole US of A. Specifically Lost Angeles. Talk about culture shock. Well I've tried my best to keep my head down and assimilate back into society. But it hasn't worked out that well. I've grown increasingly complacent and disgusted with my own inaction. So I figured its time for more adventure.
Jordan here I come. I figure a salted, nearly dead flat, highly arid environment, 500 feet below sea level, would be just the place to get my Permaculture chops down. And throw in a traditional Islamic culture to boot and now we have something.
Dec 30th I'll be flying out to work on the Demonstration Site/Education Center Geoff and Nadia have started there. It will be quite an experience I'm sure, I'll do my best to add some posts and pics while I am there.
until next time,
Salaam Alaykum (peace be upon you),
eric
