-Kinnie Starr
I am in the process of travelling the world, though I do it very slowly. I teach High School Spanish most of the year. I studied in Spain in the summer of '03. In summer 2004 and 2008 I went to Japan to participate in a world aikido competition. I went to a National Conference in Las Vegas in summer 2005. If you don't know where to find me, I am probably at the dojo...
In summer 2006 I went on my dream vacation to Ecuador and the Galápagos, the islands where Darwin developed his ideas on Natural Selection and Evolution. I sailed to different islands and swam with sea lions, rays, penguins, and sea turtles. In Ecuador, I rode a bike down a volcano, visited some Inca ruins, and stood on the equator. I also rode on the roof of a train while watching some spectacular Andean scenery go by. In the cloud forest I watched tucans, hummingbirds, and butterflies.
Where to next? I want to journey to Perú, trek the Inca Trail, and visit Machu Picchu. I hope to make a return trip to Spain, one day, as well. I must see more of Europe! I lived there when I was ages 3-5, so it feels like going home. I also want to go on a hiking safari in Africa. I would love to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, although I am rethinking it based on my experience climbing Mount Fuji.
I am currently trying to see the more local part of the world on my bike. I am hoping to get 600 miles on my bike by Labor Day. Last year I did 1000 miles but I didn't go on any 3-week trips, either. I am still working occasionally on editing this novel I began in November 2004. Last summer I took a trip to go biking in Moab, Utah. The scenery is spectacular and there are road and mountain bike options. The desert is amazingly beautiful and full of life!
Godzilla is love!
