traveling and running

traveling around in central america for a lengthy period of time is not unlike running. at first, your excited and primed. but soon, fatigue takes place, you feel like you can t catch your breath. your stumick starts to hurt and burn. after 2 weeks in the isthmus (my rough guide keeps mentioning this term as for central america and i thought i d look intelligent using it), i really feel that my trip as taking off. i feel comfortable traverling around, i m getting better at finding those remote coffee farms and generally take more time to appreciate. in short, i m up and running and the stumick burn - you know what i mean - is chose du passee. this does not mean that one learn from his experience; i m playing it less safe - but more cool - then before, eating more and more in local comedor, grabing stuff on the bus from the annoying vendors, and even using tap water to clean rinse my toothbrush.
i had plan to write more about this country that i love, nicaragua, but as my pancakes with a nasty mountain of fresh fruits are waiting and it is formally forbidden to eat at the hostel s free internet, i ll go straight to the pancakes !
later :-)

  1. It always takes me 2 weeks to really get in to a trip too, but it's not often that I can take more than 2 weeks at a time! The blog is great, thanks!
