thoughts on immigration (i.e., entering a country)

thoughts on immigration (i.e., entering a country)

| September 10, 2012

While in Europe, I compiled this list of things to keep in mind when entering another country and having to deal with immigration. I’m sure lots of peeps get by and through just fine.

| September 8, 2012

I wrote this while in France and the UK mainly as an outlet for frustration over this supposedly useful device. When we picked up our new Peugeot (from Peugeot Open Europe) at the airport, they told us the built in one doesn’t work so use this one until we can get to a dealer for […]

I’ve edited footage of Matt sending Ben’s Groove sit (7c+) though he’s done it many times. Considering Caley is his local crag…maybe 5 minutes away, he’s got it wired. Still, he climbed it from the stand and sit several times each, including the sit crux a few more times, and never showed any struggling. Here […]

early daze in the Fontainebleau forest

| May 23, 2012

Our early days in the forest were a blur of excitement to be climbing there at last, paranoia about the weather forecast, and figuring out logistics of where to buy groceries and find internet (there is no internet in the town we stayed in… at all!). We picked up our car at the CDG airport […]
