The contrast between Paris and Nicole’s version of the Simple Life and the one that local adventure racer Lina Augaitis experienced last week could not be more different.  Or could it?  In the reality TV version, Paris and Nicole had nothing but the basics (see photo above) and by the sounds of Lina’s adventures the same was true for her.  In Lina’s blog post titled “The Simple Life” she wrote:

….ahhh this is the life…but how can we be so pleasantly content living with relatively nothing, among the dirt, the grass, the mountains, with no houses, no showers, no tv, no couch, no bed, no plate, just a spoon we all have to share?….EASY.  One glance around, one look up and down and side to side tells me how I know this simple life is the ultimate…

Me personally, I think that’s a bit too simple, but to each their own…  I’ve made it a policy in life to NEVER share a spoon ;0).   Take the time to head over to and read Lina’s post today for some great photos and her stories.  I’m still trying to figure out the whole Acroyoga / Slackline things she has going on but I’m going to Cirque de Soliel next Satuday so maybe I’ll understand it more after that.
