With …

I had to work a regular shift today since my company did not honour the Labor Day holiday: in the USA you have a choice to either work, work or you work any other options will lead to your downfall. Well I decided I don’t want to fall because the rise from a fall in this economy would be somethin…

Another trip to the great State of Wisconsin and this time around I’m getting a little used to the snow and the temperatures below 20 degrees. This time around I will be having dinner with Jim since the promise I made in January did not mature given the limited time I had (10 hours in total). Jim…

Not sure I´d stay here for four weeks if I had a choice. There´s not much to do here except go to the beach unless you´ve got a lot of money to spend. I´m taking a four week spanish immersion course. My Tico family is great though!

I found Stockholm pretty but not so lively.

This is an active volcano about 1 hour from Antigua and is often providing a show i.e. flowing lava. It's a strenuous 1 hour walk up, (including climbing up lava at the top) and if you go in the afternoon a challenging walk down in the dark - bring a torch (flashlight)!
