After an amazing, mind-opening, tongue-training Spring Field Study in Oaxaca, Mexico (1984) with Prof. Hal Jackson, I became smitten with Latin culture, Spanish and the travel bug. These passions combined with mountaineering (NOLS 1986) launched me into two marvelous decades of adventures off the beaten path in Mexico (Old and New), Pacific Northwest, Chile, Argentina, and Europe. Moved to Port Townsend, WA, in 2001, now married, with two kids, working as a teacher of Geography, Spanish, Music, and outdoor education. Glad to hear from classmates, travelers.
