I live in Madison, Wisconsin and work for RENEW Wisconsin (www.renewwisconsin.org), a nonprofit that promotes renewable energy. In addition, I get to Akumal 2 or 3 times a year to volunteer for CEA. The workshop allows me combine my professional life with my real passion -- the ocean and Akumal.

Sounds great Ed. Wish we could make it, but we'll miss it by a week and a half. We'll definitely be stopping in at CEA while we're there. Have a great holiday.

Sorry that we won't cross paths, Joe. It would be good to see you again after such a long time.

Hola,

Think about coming down to Xcalak Ed. We met at the Willy St Fair and I mentioned we had a house in Xcalak. We will be driving down from Madison in February.

I'm thinking about it. Gringo Bob who's from WI will be in that area too in February. Can I take a bus from Akumal? How long would it take?
