ahhhh, dear readers (if there's even any of you left), 19 days without a post! The rest of Nicaragua, steering the ship between Nicaragua & Guatemala, all of Guatemala, and re-entry back into California has passed and awaits comment. I do intend to blog, this blog wasn't just for a particular adventure or voyage. I have many adventures and voyages in life, and so this will continue--I even thought of this ahead of time in picking my blog-name, I didn't want it to hinge on one experience. What's in my head right now: well, I'm getting over the ship-cough, which I'm told takes about 2-3 weeks to get over. I'm incredibly thankful that I didn't get sick on the ship til the last 3 days, and then not even really sick until the day we docked in San Diego on Tuesday. Wednesday was loading up our rental car and driving home--that day wasn't much fun with an upper respitory infection, but immediately upon getting home I started to feel better. I had said, about two weeks earlier, that what I missed about being home was sleeping with the windows open, and sure enough, as soon as I started doing that I started feeling better. I am so thankful that I felt great the rest of the voyage--I did the whole thing full-throttle, and that was exciting, invigorating & strengthening. What's swirling about my head right now is a combination of thankfulness (for an amazing voyage with amazing students and amazing colleagues), and wonder (both wonder from what I've experienced and seen and wonder as in I wonder what's next?). I do have several posts to finish to round out the voyage experience--Guatemala itself is worthy of at least 3 posts, one for the trip to the Chichi market, one for the lake experience, one for the service visit to Camino Seguro & the Guatemala City dump, and probably one more from a photographer's perspective--this is the country where it came together for me as a travel photographer.
