ROAD TRIP ALERT! Have you ever heard of an Earthship? They’re sustainable, totally off-the-grid, self-reliant structures that are creating some shockwaves through the green building community. Went down to see my friend Paul who’s taking a few months to build the structures in Taos, New Mexico and Montana.

Paul and I in Taos. The sun can be unbearable! You got to stay hydrated (he is going to kill me but look at that funny face he’s making!)

EVE - in the building process

We were “bouldering” up the sides of the Earthships. I struggled to keep up with the boys. :o)

Recycled bottles start looking like stained glass!

“Look Mom! I can do handstands at the edge of the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge!”

Dee and I ruminate on bungee jumping with a makeshift rope and some rubber bands. “Ahhhh, maybe next time.”
