Currently listening to: All these things that I’ve done, The Killers
Howdy, it’s been a while. Good things are happening in my life though. I’ve been “Hacer Spinning” twice this week. Yes, that does mean that I have gone to a spin class (indoor cycling). A month without my bike was beginning to do a number on my mental state. I do realize how absurd this statement may seem, but I have some pretty intense addictions to my cycling, or at least I’m dependent on it? At any rate, this weekend instead of working on all of the homework that I have due next week (it’s finals week!), I’m going to San Carlos with the familia in order to check out some thermal pools (Dante’s Peak?) and a sweet volcano. I’m stoked.
Other than that, life is the same and I’ve gotten into a pretty constant way of changing things on a daily basis. Yep, things change here daily/hourly/ every minute. I would say that the only constant is rain, but even that varies a little. Oh, I just remembered, the other day we went to an organic/ fair trade coffee plantation. This was legit. One man did everything and it was one of the purest, simplistic, beautiful thing I have ever seen. I might just change my degree to agronomy, thanks dad. No, but really, it was great being out there and getting to play in the dirt a little. The best part about the trip was the treats we got whenever we were done touring the place; a bunch of fresh fruit (bananas, plantains, oranges, caz, guayaba, and more), banana bread, and um some great coffee. Sign me up for some gardening when I get back into the states.
Running has been a bit slow here lately. Hope I can get the mileage up for Cowtown 09.
peace

Joel,
Howdy from your family back in Texas. I enjoy reading your blog. If you are looking for great books I recommend Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell and Same kind of different as me. Here is the link http://www.samekindofdifferentasme.com/
Can’t wait and hear your stories and your road you’ve walked in the last few months.
