Home is where the heart is

It feels good to be back in California, although I'm just now starting to realise how much I miss certain things about living in Guatemala. This photograph on the left shows a typical Guatemalan market, baskets filled to the brim with some of the nicest quality vegetables and for prices you wouldn't believe. And even when they try to charge you the equivalent of $.25, you can still manage to bargain down to $.10 for a yummy avocado or a bunch of bananas.

But here I am anyway, back in the US, and the reality of life here is starting to set in. Gas prices are out of control at $3.35/gallon, and to top it all off, my car broke down over the weekend needing a new radiator and cooling system before I could get back on the road again.

I am happy to be here though, and right now I'm just taking things day by day, figuring out where to go from here, and what my next step is.

The photo album from my trip in Central America is finally online. You can also find it by clicking on the photo above.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to check in on me here while I was away. I always appreciate your comments and encouragements throughout my journey.
And big thanks to all those I met along the way! Stay in touch, and maybe we'll run into each other again in some other part of the world.

Muchas gracias amigos!
