How can I take my life experiences, my opinions, and what I'm feeling right now and add some allegory with a dash of wit and turn today's blog into something heartwarming and enlightening. Oh profundities, how you allude me. I guess I could just write about what I have been up to, but where's the fun in that?
I have my health, a little cash, and a lot of time. Currently, that makes me one of the most fortunate people in the world. Only Rush Limbaugh's pharmacist could be happier. (Okay, so the joke is dated, but I'm really fishing for laughs here. Also if you Google image "talking head for the republican party" you get pictures of fish and Rush Limbaugh; what is Google trying to tell us?)
I'm going to Nicaragua in two weeks. I found out that my rural stay will be on a small cacao farm about 3km south of the border, or something along those lines. Anyway, I'm walking to Nicaragua. (Note to self: find out if that's legal or not.) I decided this rural stay was a better option as the family in Cahuita tends to speak some English, and I'd prefer to be immersed in Spanish. Also, the program director picks our stays for us (that helped my choice). But this was definitely one of my top picks: the family ranges from ages 3-82, there are several of them, and I'll get to try my hand out cacao farming.
I went zip-lining this weekend. Independence Day is tomorrow. In ways, zip-lining is a lot like Independence: flying by the seat of your pants, not knowing how hard you're going to land. Did you see what I just did? I took something trivial like zip-lining and compared it to the grandeur of establishing liberty and freedom. Magical (*gag).
Okay, so nothing profound today.
