The other place I went in San Juan del Sur was worth it, hardly anyone was there and I spent most the day reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez in a hammock and walking along the beach. At night, you could see all the stars and there were some phospherecence on the beach that made the waves sparkle a little. It is so easy to forget about the stars when ( Read more... ) -

I am in Nicaragua now. I spent the last couple intense days on Isla Ometepe, a double volcano island in the middle of Lago Nicaragua, where you can find the only freshwater sharks. Emily, Sebastian and I ( Read more... ) -

Week 3
Courtney and Noah left last week so I was missing them quite a bit this week, but I also realized it was good because I could do something more of a total immersion in Spanish. It is difficult and confusing still, but I know it is getting better and every day I think several more words seem to ( Read more... ) -
Week 2
Crap...I just wrote an update that was deleted...Let´s try this again I suppose...
Things are going well here. I feel fully adjusted, even to the whole not being vegan thing, which was just mentally difficult for me. I am confident in returning to it when I return to the U.S. but it ( Read more... ) -
Week 1...
The first few days were really hard. I just missed Tim a lot and
didn´t know what to do with myself in Alajuela. But now that Courtney
is here and we are in Orosi it is a million times better. It rains a
lot, but it is so much cooler than it is in Baltimore that I don´t
really care. It just rains in the evening every day, so it is not too
much of a ( Read more... ) -

In the midst of my culture shock I´ve finished Slaughterhouse 5. There is a part where a character in the book says that everything you need to know about life is in ¨The Brothers Karamazov¨ and that everything isn´t enough. It makes me happy that I brought both books, despite the fact that my backpack is pretty heavy. I am thinking of starting Ü.S ( Read more... ) -

Yesterday I felt completely crazy when I got here. I am reading ¨Slaughterhouse 5¨ and I think I also felt ¨unstuck in time¨. Eleven hours of sleep, a decent cup of coffee, some successful tourism and a good lunch later I feel a lot better. I spent a lot of time this morning in the central park reading Vonnegut then I managed to find the bus to the ( Read more... )
