Costa Rica:  Zarcero Insert photo here " I wanted to be an angel. I wanted to be good." KE I struggle with self-image. It's okay if my friends aren't perfect. If they were... they wouldn't be human and no fun at-all. However... why can I so easily accept their imperfections and not my own? "I forgot that Lucifer was an angel too." KE Thou :If you need to tell me something please send an email. At this point with limited internet (and out of sheer exhaustion) I'm not reading blogs. Me and Mine :I spent last night in Zarcero at Hotel Beto. Beautiful room with two windows and a balcony overlooking the park and church and with a view of the hills. Link to photo of Hotel Beto: http://lectorias.com/zarcero4.jpg I was in the corner room, second floor, in the middle of the picture. Link to photo of the park: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1013/698434552_be2f651196.jpg?v=0 Swear I saw Evangelisto Blanco out there this morning weeding a garden! (BTW: I tried to download. A half hour later? I dunno.) Could've stayed there a week to decompress. Should've. But this trip is about visiting as many places I can without exhausting myself totally. I am keeping notes, copious notes. I'm already tired of traveling. If it's Tuesday it must be Zarcero? Argh...  I don't know how Scarlett did it. I'm back in San José. Where to tomorrow? Who knows. Costa Rica  : 22º in San José at 8 p.m. and very humid. |

Costa Rica: The Beautiful Valley  Me and Mine :I am writing a lot in my journal. Taking photos, but I took lots of photos of Turrialba and Orosi last time. Trying to take more photos of people. Met Sam from Reading, England. He is adding experience to his degree from Bristol by spending 6 months in the lowland jungles of Tortuguero. His area of study is "Conservation", an area he refers to as full of vegetarians, homosexuals and hippies... (and he isn't). Hmmm... I obviously didn't get the right degree. Sam's good with the camera and managed to capture a hummingbird. Me? I got a decent photo of a butterfly. Met Judah from Sisters, Oregon who is almost a doctor (Boston). Great discussion about universal medical care, TB (he spent time in Ethiopia doing DOTS with a German outfit) and AIDS (he was at Ward 86 in San Francisco). he's at the Children's Hospitasl here. He'd like to go into family practice in a rural community. I was awed by his intelligence and compassion. Soda Luz: Ate there three times and of course Luz and Jorge were looking great as usuaol. Montaña Linda: Talked with Magaly about rentals; Felicidad was glad to see me. Guapo (the old dog) and Papaya (the bossy cat) were still there. Papaya slept in my room. Now back in SJ at the Hotel Avenida Segunda where Martín is still guarding the front door. Saw more folks in the park I met last time and even smoked a cigarette  that Andrés had lit for himself. Tomorrow? We'll see. Costa Rica : 20º in San José. |

Costa Rica: *flower* Turrialba ... otra vez *flower*  "Me robaron del futuro. Me robaron del dinero. Pues, lo peor..." KE It is very difficult... this life. It is full of struggles and disappointment. Some rely upon God; but, we do have each other to take away the pain of daily existence. It is important to be kind, to be worthy of trust. "...me robaron de la confianza." KE Thou :I hope you all are doing well. Hope I see happy faces when I get the chance to catch up.  Me and Mine :I... am in Turrialba. The day is humid and very warm. Thankfully this place has ceiling fans. I'm not enjoying myself. Too bad. I can only hope I downloaded all of the pictures I took in the U.S. that I had on a particular SD before I erased them all the other day (lost a wonderful photo of Marlene). I now know not to touch the erase button. It's too easy... and I know how to protect photos as well. So I lost a bunch of photos. Not happy... pues... Costa Rica : 30º in Turrialba... más o menos... and humid. |

Costa Rica: *flower* Home sweet home *flower*  Thou :Most folks don't seem to have found me here yet... wonder when! I won't be able to post here often while I'm in Costa Rica. I won't have time to read. I'll catch up with yáll when I return. Me and Mine :I arrived Sunday, met Marlene from Holland and Daniel from Jersey. Saw folks I met in July. Carlos and I left for Los Santos Monday for two days. He was quite a lot of help. We visited San Marcos de Tarrazú and Santa María de Dota. But... I already managed to delete photos...  and we both nearly ended up in jail... .Tuesday I saw an apartment in Santa María for rent. Not sure how much, but the location is surreal for me. It has lots of windows and is right in the center of town. Wednesday I talked to someone who knows someone who lived in that same apartment. Prices in Los Santos are ¨"affordable". A two bedroom house can run as low as $100 per month. I could manage that. Anyhoo... back in San José at Casa Ridgway. I have been writing in my journal, but frankly I'm too tired tonight to share. Costa Rica : Cool in San José... and heavy rain in the afternoon. |

 We'll all cross that bridge when we get to it. : "I was birthed by the mountains. I am rock, stone and soil." KE Wind, fire, water, earth. We are all of those and something more. I am leaving the dry mountains of Montana to visit the clouds of Costa Rica. I will be rained upon. I may even get to see the sea. "But my breath comes from the rain-clouds, my salty blood from the sea." KE At Elisabeth's place Pass around a plate of sandwiches; pass a glass or two. Sit and speak of olden days; memories of me and you. Rest and chat of don José and doña Virginia too. As I bite into those wrapped tamales; we'll share a laugh or two. © Kåre Enga [166.133] 2009-07-14 Sketching it out :We were at the House of Elisabeth Sibaja Montero. Vilma, Ana, José Enrique and their aunt and uncle. Simple ditty, but I wanted to write something to remind me of the moment and the gracious hospitality shown by Elisabeth. Thou :Well, I haven't seen many of the old bloggers blogging! So, I can only hope y'all doing okay. Seems like doing the daily grind has ground down a lot of folks. Me too, but I don't know any better.  Me and Mine  :The plane to LA leaves at 18:20, with or without me. There's market in the morning and a football game at 13:00. I need to be at the air-bus-stop by 16:50. I still haven't straightened out my camera... Partially packed. Could finish in 15 minutes, less if I had to. Tomorrow at this time it won't matter. As long as I have my ticket, money and my passport... I'm good to go. Costa Rica : 70º in San José... and drizzle at midnight. |

11,761 views in a month? Over 800 for 10 days straight? Something doesn't compute... not that I'm complaining, but I would love to know why between August 25th and September 8th there were so many views. I mean... if I did something right once upon a time I want to know what that was! |

My entry on Jeanne NewMoon has 2,833 and that I more-or-less understand. It was a strong entry. Still... 11k views? Who? Which? How?
