Another Year Older

Well, it was my birthday a few days ago and I have aged quite a bit. NOT! Rode a chicken bus for 7 hours the other day (think elementary school bus packed with people on a durt road at 12.7km per hour), that was absolutely brutal. Got stuck in a nepotistic town in Nicaragua without any electricity for 5 days thanks to the antiquated power grid. I am now back in San Jose biding my time before I head to South America for a month. I had my totem read last night, which was shocking. I havent felt that naked in a long time (except for my shower earlier that morning). Weird when someone you barely know can see so much with such clarity, and have such wonderful things to say about it. The hardest thing about traveling is watching your friends leave to go to other places, and yet I think that is the best part about it. Ugh. I just had some Doogie Howser flashback type thing sitting here writing a journal. Out of sheer fright, I am signing off. Lets hope I make it through cutoms fine in Peru!!!!
