We watched Kon-Tiki the other night. What a man! What a story! What a video!
Inspired by Thor Heyerdahl´s adventure I have tonight picked out of my shelves a book I bought last summer, Osa and Martin, For the Love of Adventure by Kelly Enright.
I first heard of Osa Johnson last summer when we were visiting our good friends Jane and Lanny in California. Jane had put a stack of books for me to read in the bedroom of the guesthouse where we stayed. Among a great many fantastic books, the one which first caught my attention was I married Adventure by Osa Johnson. Osa Johnson was the wife of Martin Johnson, an adventurer who took part in a few of Jack London´s adventures. After Osa and Martin married they continued to create their own adventures. I married Adventure is Osa´s autobiography.
I spent long nights and early mornings reading I Married Adventure, and when we later found Kelly Enright´s book about Osa and Martin when we visited Jack London State Park, I knew I had to buy it.
Since then I have read it in bits, a few pages here, a few pages there.
And it always creates in me a dream to travel outise my comfort zone, the seek the adventure.
The images are also from last summer in California,
a sailing we did with Steven and Cecilia in their boat.
