I will be traveling to Easter Island which is 2200 miles west of Chile in the south Pacific. I'll be with an archeological group studying the decline of the Rapanui inhabitants through the deforestation and destruction of the island's ecosystem. We will also be attempting to reenact how the Rapanui people moved the 887 monolithic stone structures know as "Moai" through a system of pulleys and logs. While there, I will be taking some core samples from Terevaka, which is the islands largest extinct volcano. The goal is to identify if the deforestation of the ecosystem was caused by the Rapanui people or from the climate effects of the "Little Ice Age" that spanned from 1650 to 1850. Anyway, Easter Island is in the central time zone so I'll only be an hour behind you. My cell phone won't work, but I'll be able to check e-mails.
Alright, so I'm just kidding around. I am leaving the country, but to Canada - the home of Tim Horton's and Labatt Beer. My goal is to identify the effects that REAL Canadian beer can have on my golf game. Call me if you need me.
Ciao!
