Soup’s on! This tomato soup recipe is all raw and so still contains all of the enzymes and nutrition found naturally in the fresh off the vine tomatoes, basil and avocados. Avocado and almond milk give the soup a rich creaminess and the fresh herbs give it a wonderful flavor. The soup is naturally not hot but can be heated up to 115 degrees, so it’s warming on a cool evening. || Read more
Hey Mr Sandbag Workout, do a burpee for me.. or two or three. Fun! ..well, the workout seems fun but it’s a little brutal getting through the first part. Actually I think this is a good challenge and very doable. The first part is the type of challenge where you get halfway though and you say.. Oh, this is crazy, forget it..but then you go – wait. I’m half way finished, I’ll just do a few more reps.. and all of a sudden you’re finished and feeling awesome. ..and then it doesn’t seem so bad. ; ) That type of workout. ..and then the second interval part is a bit of a relief. Some great sandbag exercises and not a walk in the park, but it feels good to go back to intervals after the jumping and burpees. I really liked this workout and hope that you do too! || Read more

Our location of the day takes us to Iquitos, Peru where we will board the M/V Aqua, the first luxury cruise ship on the Amazon River. It is only 130 feet long and accommodates 24 guests plus cruise ship crew. Not many people have associated the Amazon River with luxury but this cruise could change that. This ship is much like a large luxury cruise ship but on a smaller scale. It has a jacuzzi and gym and the windows are not like the usual small round windows, this boat has large floor to ceiling windows. We will cruise deep into the Amazonian rain forest and jungle and stop for expeditions to see monkeys, dolphins , alligators and much more.
