... It was exciting! And ISla Mujeures is so small that we were able to rent gofl carts and drive from one end of the island to the other! We ate at a fantastic restaurant on the north side of the island where we hear is the best beach on the island!

I would reccommend taking a trip to the Yucatan penninsula with your adult freinds and/or lover OR with the family. It was a great time for a reasonable price. And no one got abducted!

... was the day!

The park was just as beautiful as we remembered. Unfortuantely the road was closed about 8 miles into the park because of the recent storms. It seems to be a theme with us, doesn't it? Well, that didn't stop us from enjoying our visit. We even managed to find a few spots we didn't 'discover' last time

We pulled out of Hart Ranch in South Dakota a couple of days early because of an anticipated cold front. We also changed the route we had planned on taking. Rather than going to Scotts Bluff, Nebraska we headed to Colorado. Strange as it may seem the weather promised to be better in the Denver area....

After about 400 miles, which is a ...

... is where I believe all of Asia's shopkeepers come to buy clothing and items for their shops. And they were all there today. If there was a open patch of cement, someone put up an EZ-up canopy and was selling something. Crowds of people pushing, walking in the roads, tuk tuks and cabs trying to drive, honking, police whistling, shopkeepers yelling--it was complete chaos. The cars, scooters and tuktuks drive so close to you that ...

Yes, we finally made it. We planed on doing a lot of hard-core driving. So, Ram was always happy to finally reach our destination.

The funniest thing happened though.... We ended up getting a room for the night only because the great Rocky Mountain National Park was closed for construction!?!?!?!?! huh?!?!?!?! ha ha ha....

... He was at risk of being out of the loop. We planned to meet up with Hiraldo after having a Mexican brunch. Neil and Hiraldo worked out the logistic. "Okay, you walk towards us and we'll walk towards you. We meet in the middle." Their conversation was entertainingly not that straightforward though. We were walking towards Hiraldo when I spotted an organic grocery store. "Wait man, I've gotta check this out." Seeing an organic grocery store was similar to hearing Realtor's Voice ...

One final Warning about travel in Thailand - If you do go to Thailand and you want to do some volunteer Aid work with a charity group; do your research first. There are enough people coming to Asia to do Aid work that a type of industry has been created to meet this demand. However ...

... danced. Sunday Troy/Derek/Mark/Brent took the dogs up to Horsetooth hills and went for another nice hike. Sunday night we did some grillin and chillin. Monday was Memorial day so we went down to Denver to watch a Rockies and Cardinals baseball game. Rockies Won---Go Home Team!!! We met up with Mandy/Ashley and some other folks. Tuesday we fly back home. Said goodbye to all. Can't wait for next visit!

... m not super pumped. I am. Just pensive. Aware.

I have to go because I really really love the adventure. Not having a plan, not having a goal. Just doing what you want to do, with no judgment. When else do you get to do that?

It's very hard to truly live in the moment in real life. Damn near impossible. Especially in grad school. People are always asking you, "What are your long term goals? Where do you see yourself in five years ...

Susan and I are in the process of waiting. We are waiting for medical clearance, waiting for the end of school, waiting for the MCATs. I have most of my business in order (loans, etc.), but need to sell a car, and find a place to store our things for two years. I am sad to leave Highland High School. I truly feel that in a couple of years it could be the greatest school in Northern Colorado ...
