Matthew's blog is actually up!
May. 18th, 2007 03:46 amSo, remember when I mentioned that Brother Matthew and partner Todd are on their Round-The-World trip? And that they were going to try to blog about it?
"Dear Followers of Benchilada,
The blog is indeed active (and I am quite proud of myself for it). www.GoStarfish.net
Matthew, brother of Benchilada"
It's in lovely little bite-sized chunks that are informative, interesting, and funny. And there are photos. Make sure you click on GO TO ARCHIVES, as it only shows something like the five most recent entries.
SAMPLES:
"It is fascinating how someone can ride a bike in traffic, carrying an umbrella with a baby on board. I would try it, but I would have to either steal or rent a baby, neither of which sound like good options. Plus, I’d be wet."
"Yeah, I’m wearing big wooden shoes. And you’re not."
"No matter how much traveling I do (which, incidentally, is a lot, but never enough), there will always be things in other cultures I do not understand. On German TV right now is a topless woman hosting some kind of late night call-in game show. I had heard about these shows from friends, and I am certain it is more fun to watch than an infomercial for a Garden Weasel, but I am still not certain that I understand. When I can figure out how to block out her boobies, I’ll post a photo."

"In German, the word "fahrt" is used often. For the less mature among us, it always elicits a laugh when the mild-mannered tour guide says "fahrt. Plus it's on signs all over the ity. HA!"
