Tuesday May 21st 851pmNorthwest of BermudaToday was a day I was kind of dreading because Port Royal had just punched and sanded three days ago and there hadnt been any rain to wash in the sand so I was worried guests would be a little irked about that. I had explained to everyone that they had aerated and it has to be done to keep the golf course in nice shape but there are always a couple o

Here are some photos from my home with my Nicaraguan family. They are a tough bunch and work very hard except in the afternoons when it is too hot to do anything.

I have had two busy weeks and have taught lots of yoga both at the Ruben Dario School to the primary children and to the two grandsons at my house.

Today Joe and Jon went to see the Spruce Goose and Aviation Museum. It39s amazing how much money Hughes spent for a plane that only flew once. Keep in mind the plane is constructed of spruce wood. While the boys played with planes Joyce and I stayed home and chilled. It felt good not to have to go anywhere all day. The temps did take a major dive over night. Yesterday it was sunny 75 but to

I arrived at the airport in San Jose Costa Rica at 830 p.m on a Friday dead tired from a 600 a.m. departure from Kansas City coupled with a 9 hour layover in Texas. I really messed up when booking my tickets. My study abroad program offered a group flight but I decided to save a little cash and search the internet for cheaper tickets. I was ecstatic to find plane tickets for a couple hundred

We planned to do the underground tour in Pendleton however due to a special event over the weekend it was closed on Monday. Instead we toured the Pendleton Woolen Mill where they make Native American blankets. We were able to see the entire process in action. Interestingly the geometric shapes on the blankets are made using punch card technology 6039s erain the machine. The other blanke

After a bowl of ultra thin porridge NPI score of 410 supplemented by a chapatti with honey we head off to start our day. The walk out of the village was utterly incredible.
