</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I just wanted to send you my most sincere and hearty thanks for your support of Team Takoma Park this year! Team Vegan was a smashing success. After reaching the $75,000 matching donation, separate donors stepped up to add an additional $21,500 to the mix -- making it $96,500 available to be matched. Thanks to your support, we reached this, meaning that just shy of $200k was raised. We're looking forward to an incredibly prolific year of college outreach coming up and this will now be possible due to your generosity.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Again, thank you so much! Your support of this life-saving work on behalf of animals means the world to us. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<br />
I ran Bolder Boulder 2010 on Memorial day this year. It's an annual 10 kilometer road race held in Boulder, CO and the largest race in the U.S. in which all participants are timed. It was my first time participating in any race and it didn't matter how much I clocked, it was going to be my personal record! <br />
<br />
It was beautiful day although it was a bit cold to start with. This year, around 54,000 people registered in the race. There were many live music bands playing all along the route. Two of my favorites were a singer impersonating Elvis (I hear, he is there every year) and a band dressed in an enlarged version of baby jumpsuits. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw them, perhaps that's the reason why I didn't feel the pain in my legs during the race. Overall, it was a blast.<br />
<br />
I will definitely do it again next year and try to get another personal record.

<br />
Yeeee-haw! <br />
<br />
Anyone who has checked the Team Vegan site lately will have noticed that you have done it!!<br />
<br />
Team Vegan rose to the challenge, and will be able to put all matching money to work for the animals! <br />
<br />
Dozens of you have stepped up in the past week, doubling their money's impact for the animals. $99,468.50 to create real, lasting change in our society! <br />
<br />
As though to emphasize this, we just got a phone call here from someone in Portland who said, "I got your booklet, and you've made me a vegetarian. Thanks so much for the information. Thank you." <br />

Training has been a big part of my life as long as I can remember, and now it includes weight training 3-4 times a week and different kinds of aerobic training in between. This summer the aerobic part has been running (which I love the most), walking, cycling and kayaking. I emphasize the good old squats, pull-ups, deadlifts etc done with bars, barbells and dumbbells. One of the many good things about summer is the quite obvious and well justified need to have a big tofu ice cream as the immediate recovery of hard training :) </blockquote><blockquote>Team Vegan is a great way to make training even more useful, fun and inspiring. I promised in my profile to train hard enough to be able to make 10 pull-ups, if the donations through my Team Vegan page reached 200 dollars. Well, that happened and, I'm excited and proud to say, the pull-ups happened, too! My next challenge is to attend some cross-country running competition as I promised, when the donations got even higher :) </blockquote><blockquote>I haven't been competing since childhood, so it's going to be adventurous...</blockquote><blockquote>Training is fun and gives a nice feeling of strength, health and self-esteem. But still, I feel the biggest inspiration for my activities is to "show everyone" (haha, now that sounds pretty corny) that vegans aren't pale, tired crickets, shivering in the funnily bohemian pubs. I've been a vegan now for three years, after being a vegetarian for about ten years. Training has never felt this good before :)</blockquote><br />

<br />
I ended up leaving for my study abroad in Mexico earlier than expected. So I find myself in a society a little less acquainted with the movement for animal rights and reliant on a host family for meals. <br />
<br />
Luckily, I have a pretty understanding family. They've made changes to the meals they serve me so that they are free of meat and obvious dairy and egg products. I don't want to create an unreasonable amount of work for people nice enough to let me into their home. This is not just an exchange of calories -- it's a cultural exchange as well, not to mention a particularly delicate cultural exchange between a thriving developed country with more options (the United States) and a developing nation with fewer options (Mexico). <br />
<br />
I also think the essential message to send in this exchange is that there are US citizens very willing to eat with a Mexican family, enjoying their cuisine, while maintaining a different perspective on meat consumption. "Not every American eats nothing but hamburgers," in combination with, "There are some Americans that wish to respectfully share in your food culture," are the two major messages I wish to send on this study abroad trip. <br />
<br />
So I guess my message is to vegans who travel abroad from rich countries such as Canada, the United States or Western European countries, is yes, continue being a vegan, but if you find yourself particularly integrated in the culture (such as staying with a host family), just do your best within the context of a respectful cultural exchange. In this particular form of globalized economy, so many cultural ideas are forced. Vegans can be different -- we can be those foreigners who come to our host country with an interesting (hopefully intriguing) idea and do it in a refreshingly respectful manner. Sounds fair, right?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312538228784307965.post-78884624282661693292010-06-25T13:09:00.000-07:002010-06-25T13:09:42.605-07:00Member Update, June 25<a href="http://teamvegan.biz/team/jim">Jim Hillman</a><br />

Joanna is one of the donors who helped extend the Team Vegan matching. She wanted to relay this message to all of you: <br />
<br />
<blockquote>I am enormously pleased to be able to contribute to your amazing fundraising for Vegan Outreach, and I am very grateful for your tremendous efforts on behalf of the animals.</blockquote><br />
If you could take a minute and send me a thank you for Joanna, I'll compile them and send them on to her. Let's make the deadline Sunday, 27 June. <br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">It’s not hard at all to find great places to eat and stay in the UK that can cater to vegans. On this trip we stayed in the Highlands of Scotland, Edinburgh, and the Lake District in England.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p>In the West Highlands, we stayed in Cuildorag House, a vegetarian Bed and Breakfast in Onich, <a href="http://www.cuildoraghouse.com/">http://www.cuildoraghouse.com/</a>. This is a great area for hiking. We enjoyed hiking on Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, and in the Glencoe area. Cuildorag House is run by Lisa and Iain Glaze, who are friendly and made us feel at home. In addition to a vegan breakfast, which was basically a vegan version of the traditional British cooked breakfast with tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, and vegan sausage, they offered a vegan dinner, which was great, because there aren’t many if any vegan options in the area. The dinners were delicious, with lots of the vegetables coming from their garden. I was particularly impressed with the pea and nettle soup. We also had a salad with some greens I’d never seen before, a wonderful vegetable stew, and a rhubarb tart for dessert. Another night we had a root vegetable soup, another great salad, a lentil tart, and a fried banana with a caramel and marmalade sauce. </o:p></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p>In the Lake District, which is also great for hiking, we stayed at the Lancrigg Vegetarian Country House Hotel, in Grasmere, <a href="http://lancrigg.co.uk/">http://lancrigg.co.uk/</a>. This is a larger establishment than the Cuildorag House and offers lots of amenties, such as Swedish massage, shiatsu, and reiki (non of which we took advantage of), but isn’t as homey because of its size. The food was great and they also served dinner, which again was very welcome after a long day of hiking, since there aren’t lots of vegan options in this area either. The vegan items on the dinner menu were clearly marked and there were additional choices that could be veganized. They had quite a selection. I especially liked their cashew nut loaf. They also had several vegan options for dessert, including apple and pear crumble and a decadent chocolate sundae. The breakfast menu wasn’t as clearly marked and initially it was difficult getting information about what was vegan from the wait staff, primarily college age students from France and other European countries with somewhat limited English. But with some perseverance, we got the information we needed and everything was delicious. There were lots of choices, including fresh fruit, fruit smoothies, tofu, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches, vegan burgers, and a vegan version of the traditional English breakfast. </o:p></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p>Edinburgh is a very magical Scottish city that we love to visit for its sense of history, architecture, art galleries, and bookstores. This time we stayed at the Claymore Vegetarian Guest House on 68 Pilrig Street. Email: <a href="mailto:enquirehere@blueyonder.co.uk">enquirehere@blueyonder.co.uk</a>. They are working on a web site. The Claymore is run by Cathy Meek and John McCafferty. Cathy is a wonderful warm person. We didn’t meet John, but he cooked great breakfasts, probably the best we had on this trip, which included polenta, potato scones, tomatoes, onions, and mushroom fricassee. This guest house is a bit away from the center of town, but there is a bus stop right in front of it, so it’s easy to get around. It pays to get an all day bus pass for 3 pounds. Another place we enjoyed staying in on a previous visit was the more centrally located Six Mary’s Place Guest House in Stockbridge, <a href="http://www.sixmarysplace.co.uk/index.html">http://www.sixmarysplace.co.uk/index.html</a>. They also have nice vegan options for breakfast. Six Mary’s Place is bigger than the Claymore. I preferred the personal friendly treatment we got at the Claymore, but the location of Six Mary’s Place is more convenient. There are quite a few vegan friendly restaurants in Edinburgh, more than we could go to on one visit. </o:p></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p>We had two dinners at the David Bann restaurant, <a href="http://davidbann.co.uk/">http://davidbann.co.uk/</a>, partly because they are open all day, which was convenient for when we went to the theatre. They have some vegan options and many more items that can be veganized. The food was delicious and the wait staff were extraordinarily helpful. I was particularly impressed with a watercress, beetroot, and pomegranate salad and with their homemade smokey tofu with udon noodles. We also had dinner at the wonderful Kalpna Vegetarian restaurant, <a href="http://www.kalpnarestaurant.com/">http://www.kalpnarestaurant.com/</a>. We went to this Indian restaurant many years ago before we were even vegetarians let alone vegans, and it was here that I first learned what vegan meant. At that time and on this visit, I had the vegan thaali, which is a wonderful sampling of many different dishes. We also stopped by the Forest Café on our first morning in the UK for a cup of tea and some flapjacks, sweet bars made with oats, <a href="http://www.theforest.org.uk/index.php">http://www.theforest.org.uk/index.php</a>. It looks like this place is really hopping at night, but we didn’t see for ourselves on this visit. </o:p></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312538228784307965.post-8220877025971457812010-06-15T10:38:00.000-07:002010-06-15T10:38:45.947-07:00Shirt Update<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Hi Team!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
