When you can't get chicken feet...

Then definitely order the spicy frog
legs. Ken and I tried them, and even convinced Beth to down one. I have video to prove it. It was quite tasty.

Aloha, Kevin

Oregon rest stop. There is nothing better than finding backroads to take you where you need to go. On a 50 mile cross town “errand” I only had to use about 5 miles of actual boring hwy. There’s always another way to get where your going.
What do you see?
Cloud wave. Alvord desert
Leo and I enjoy the sunrise out at Alvord desert. Whenever we are out hiking or enjoying a beautiful view, he’ll stop and take it all in, just like we do.
Clare really wanted to go camp somewhere with an abundance of solitude. We found it. #lovethislife
If you actually want to drive through the Drive-Thru Tree, best to bring a moto, or two. @lundy_images rode Ginger since Ratchet had to stay home sick. None of this probably makes any sense, so suffice it to say I couldn’t have picked a better couple of friends to ride the epic 6-day journey down to Carmel with. @lundy_images and @life_fitnesslundy 📷 @lundy_images
If this little fella can’t make you smile, something is broken! One of the favorite parts of our workshop Adventures is just being able to hang out with the kids and photograph their playfulness. Funny how something so simple can be so joyful and fulfilling. We often see the tearjerking images of people in need. But what we need to see more of is the beauty and strength that they exude despite whatever “challenges” they may be going through. That is what inspires others and respects their dignity. #workshopswithpurpose #myforwardedgestory #ethicalstorytelling
In Santiago, Cuba, we had the extreme fortune of visiting with children and families that come to participate in the programs that @forward_edge provides. My wife, Clare, sat on an old bench swing and children piled on next to her. They tried to talk, but mostly just giggled and poked at each other’s noses and snuggled. Although they had just met, they looked like they were a family from birth, comfortable in each other’s arms and presence. Isn’t that what true love really is? #workshopswithpurpose #myforwardedgestory #cuba
What’s missing in this photo? A) A frown B) Stress C) Smart phone D) All of the above Loved people watching in Habana, Cuba ❤️ #workshopswithpurpose
Street dancer in Habana, Cuba. This amazing guy could literally hover like this for what seemed like forever. His pack of friends wandered through the arts park playing music and sharing their moves with anyone who would watch. I wish I had a close-up I his eyes. They were piercing and wild, reminding me immediately of a character from Mad Max movies. The art scene in Habana is off the charts. #workshopswithpurpose
Boys in Santiago, Cuba, playing at the beach. We took an excursion to the beach with a big truckload of lucky kids, hosted by Forward Edge. Their unbridled joy was contagious as we waded, played frisbee, and ate snack after snack. It was interesting as we spent time around Cuba that we saw quite a few American flags on clothing. There were many Cuban flags as well, but I didn’t expect to see our flag. Maybe they just like the graphic, or maybe they have no animosity towards us and are happy to share in our colors. Even if our governments don’t agree, people are people, and we always felt welcome by the Cubans. #workshopswithpurpose #MyForwardEdgeStory
The farmer that captured our hearts. Yosbiel grows tobacco on his little farm in Viñales and has to sell 90% of it to the government cigar companies, but is allowed to keep 10% and with that he ages it for 6 more months and gives it a special treatment to then hand roll his own cigars. He even showed us how to properly enjoy them. His family also grew coffee, fruits, veggies, sugar cane, and gathered honey. Farm animals wandered freely about and it was a little slice of heaven there. As a consolation prize for having to leave, we were able to buy some cigars, coffee, and rum from them. Best ever 😁
