... about this idea due to my ill health to date that was only starting to get better but went ahead with it and it was not too bad. Probably what I needed really. Although the burger (Double Quarter Pounder) was smaller than in Australia. *******s!<br><br>Having no proper socket connections I decided against sitting on the computer for too long and watched an NFL game on telly. I was pretty tired from what was a big couple of days so far so I had an early one. Ahh sleep.<br><br><br>

... be like Christmas when I arrive. I am very excited about my trip, but unlike last year a little nervous. I am not sure why I am nervous because I did this before and I actually have Jose picking me up at the airport. But I think in the back of my mind I am thinking about the pick pocketers. Jose&#8217;s mom Lourdes told me to watch my luggage and purse ...

Memphis, TN to Dubuque, Iowa<br><br>Next morning got in some early morning hiking and managed to get access to some beautiful areas that were just getting the morning sun.

I taught them how to play but they more importantly taught me how to live. One day I was sitting in the kitchen and the two of them were playing Hide-n-Seek ...

Well another day and another day away from my head. It was better, but I am still not back to normal mentality. How does this work. How do I go to another country and be and then come home and go back to normal. Because for me normal seems like a thing of the past. I keep thinking about that Google logo, with ...

... house and a job. I think maybe aftering spending a week with someone I would like someone to share my experiences with. My heart aches for the week where I didn't worry about or think about anything but just being. Costa Rica was so beautiful. I think Costa Rica gave me this care free feeling. That if it gets done it gets done. Then I come back here and it is go go go. Never breathing for air. I have seen so many signs but ...

The highlights of the bus trip included passing through Parque Nacional Braulio Carrillo (so large it encompasses five life zones), and a quick stop at the ...
