Gotaca Showah Moves from Zion to Paradise: Introduction and Prologue


Meet Gotaca Showah. Gotaca was an orphaned stuffy, ugly, lonely, and unwanted, rescued from a supply closet in Barbara Bush Children's Medical Center in Portland, Maine. We aren't really sure what exactly he is. In any case, in 2006 Gotaca made the trek from Maine to Utah with a Toyota, a Mini Cooper, a canoe, a dog, two cats, three adult humans and a six month old baby. It was an amazing adventure for the little guy and he took lots of pictures. Now he is excited about making this next move to Hawaii. The travels of Homer the lobster in eastern Europe inspired Gotaca to come out of retirement and share his next journey into terra incognito. But this time, Gotaca is armed with a smartphone, a blog, and a captive audience on Facebook. Ah, technology.

But first, I thought it would be best for you to get to know Gotaca a little better. Here are some pictures from his trip in 2006. This is also to check the FB formatting with the images. Enjoy.


Look closely - he's there.


There was no room in the car, so Harry had to sit on the canoe.

Oh, not really.

It says: No Lifeguard on Duty. FYI.


He made new friends...

...and hooked up. What happens in Chicago, stays in Chicago.


He made enemies, too.

Getting his fix.


Ah, sweet relief.

Is this for real? Is it just me or...?
