You know you are in for a good time when...

you are about to board a boat and you see Hawaii´s Morris waiting to board the same boat.

some of you may remember Morris as the ´best man´in my Christmas email.

I hadn´t seen Morris since mid-December in Xela. As it goes here in the traveling world, if you are headed the same direction (south, in this case), you are bound to cross paths at some point.

Our paths crossed on the docks outside Rivas, Nicaragua, while we were waiting for the ferry to Ometepe Island. It was a good reunion.

To get to the ferry, I rode in a taxi with a couple from Denmark and Sweden. I had seen them, but did not talk to them, in Xela (Guate), Granada (Nic) and San Juan del Sur (Nic). Morris saw them, but did not talk to them, in Xela and somewhere in Honduras.

Aside from leaving the island with what may become a scare on my forehead, good times were had by most.

details to follow.

Brendan, a group for the CNY Yoga Center will be in Costa Rica by mid Feb. They will be at a retreat place called - VIDA ASANA (PLAYA HERMOSA) -website VIDAASANA.COM
Maybe it would be cool to run into peeps from "home" even though you don't know them. They are a friendly bunch. the gal with lots of tattoes will be there. Just an idea. I'll be glad when you bid adieu to Nicauraugua but happy to hear you saw your best man again. If you only could find your wife...
