That's it for a while now. First impressions of Merida? It's great! A really fantastic introduction to South American culture... the food is great, the people are very friendly and the scenery is breath-taking. Back in a few days with some more news. Gonna go hiking tomorrow I think,

Robbed By The GN
... an ounce of cocaine on me and then really taking me for a ride. As far as I was concerned, I did have the money (regardless of whether or not I could afford it), and I was ready to let them take it, get back on the bus, and not have to deal with any repercussions that may or may not have arisen from a refusal to cooperate with them.

We booked a canyoning trip. This was very good, it cost $50 and you basically trek through a river and absail down waterfalls, very cool! There were 3 waterfalls, 6 m, 25m, and 36m high.

... today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.

It is there for each and every one of ...
