Mark (and his backside) is famous!

Playa Platanares, originally uploaded by Francesca….

A few months back, a woman by the name of Liz Roquet contacted me via Flickr to ask permission to use one of my photos for her mail-order gourmet coffee business. Each month for each different coffee blend, she uses different photos instead of a boring, generic label. Liz wanted to use this photo of Mark doing a belly flop for the November shipment of the “Sunriser” blend. (I took this photo of Mark back in January when we were in Costa Rica.) We’ve gotten one shipment already and, I can tell you, it’s pretty darn good. You, too, can have your very own package of coffee with Mark’s rear end on it :-) The company name and site is Lizzy’s Fresh Coffee (she is based in Ketchum, Idaho). You can learn more on the site about Liz and her coffee, and if you’d like to order Mark’s Sunriser edition, or any of the other blends, email me at francesca underscore maz at yahoo dot com and I’ll give you a coupon code to receive 30% off. But hurry! Mark’s bum will be on the label only during November of this year.

A different kind of adventure

Friday, November 7th, 2008

There has been a noticeable lull in our blog posting, at least on my behalf. No exciting trips to write about, nor are there any travel plans in the works. That is because Mark and I are embarking on a completely different type of adventure: parenthood! My due date is March 30, 2009, and I’ll post updates every now and then until the baby arrives. Below is a photo from my latest ultrasound, taken just this past Monday, November 3, during my 19th week.
