As always, this post can now be found at our main blog -- whitehere.com

We JUST got the disc with our wedding photos in!  And... well... there's a lot of them.  And a lot of great ones.



This, of course, is our signature shot.  We call it... Kentucky Gothic

So, until I have time to sit down with Rachel and pick out our collective favorites to show on the web, here are some random highlights I found during lunch on Friday.  Most of these are already posted on Facebook.  But I know not everyone has Facebook.  So... enjoy.

On the fourth day of our honeymoon, we did nothing dangerous or adventurous... but we did encounter one of the coolest animals on our trip... a rare and almost extinct baby Oncilla.


This Oncilla was brought to the property as a kitten in a cage. One of the local residents, an ex-pat who lives on the property, rescued the animal and has been feeding it raw chicken. As a result, the cat is semi-tame. They are currently reducing its chicken rations, forcing the cat to hunt for food and no longer just for fun. In another month or two, this cat will probably return to the wild on her own.

In the meantime, though, she trailed us around the property... and even posed for a photo or two.




Here is a video of the Oncilla...

Well... Obama has been elected.  Which means it's time for more honeymoon highlights!



In today's adventure (or more accurately, our adventure from October 15th, 2008), Rachel and I went rappelling down waterfall walls, witnessed a truck nearly fall off the road, and caught some hummingbirds hanging outside our room.

Enjoy.

Hey all;

Here are some highlights from our first two days in Costa Rica.  The good stuff if yet to come though... zip lining, rappelling, monkies and a semi-WILD CAT!
