I knew from way back that I had a rendezvous with columbia. How right I was. It is amazing here. I liked venezuela, but I like columbia more...it´s crazier yet more fun...well the main thing is the women are amazingly beautiful, it´s all true what they told me. I was not at all disappointed, but quite gratified. And it´s true what the columbian girls told me in panama city, they like americans, and americans like them! So, I met up with a few british guys and we decided to travel together. It´s great travelling with them, takes some of the stress [View Full Entry]

so, I had read in the lonely planet guidebook (it{s kinda like the travelers bible) that venezuelan women are suppossed to be really beautiful, so I have to say I was really disappointed when I got to venezuela. In the airport, I met las cherries when I got off the airplane...these three girls were dressed up kinda like they were famous, so I went and asked them if they were musicians and all, and they said yeah. I said, are you famous¨? They said yeah. So I got their autographs. I shoulda got a picture. then I could be on this [View Full Entry]

this is just to let everyone know I made it to venezuela alive. Even made it a few days in the capital. That was fun, and I´ll write about my adventures there later. I remember before I started my trip, one of my friends said, ¨You´ll never make it thru central america man, you can´t go to venezuela now.¨ Well, first of all, venezuela isn´t in central america, and second of all, I went there anyway! Who cares where you´re suppossed to go? You just go where you want in life, that´s my new philosophy. Anyway, one really funny thing I´ve [View Full Entry]

So, I´m just going to finish up catching up a little, because my central american adventure is about to end. I´m going down to Venezuela! I was gunna take a boat to columbia, but the way it worked, they told me there are no boats now because the wind is strong. I went to this hostel where they have information about the boats, and that is what he told me. I wasn´t staying there, and he wasn´t happy I asked, and I heard they aren´t very friendly, and the place sucked, and I was glad I wasn´t staying there. Anyway, it [View Full Entry]

So, now where did I leave off_ Ah yes, I went to sleep amongst the rooster crowings and fireworks. I'm going to try to attempt to finish this story and others in 30 minutes, so I can move on. As your trying to write your adventures, new ones are happening, so it's impossible to not get behind. Even when you're not trying to do anything. It's virtually impossible, because I suppose just living life regular like this is a bit extraordinary, that is to say, unusual. Everything is this new experience. I forgot to mention that my last night in bocos [View Full Entry]

Words are all I have now anyway...It´s been quite the time lately so I figure I should try to capture it a bit in words, since my camera was stolen, but we´ll get to that all in time. I just took this great walk in panama city. I am near the ocean in a hospedaje called Las Tablas (the significance I´ll explain later). I walked towards all the high rises. There they are, these towers piercing the sky. I got three mandarines and two bananas at this nice fruit store amongst the fancy high rises. Also a little carton of milk [View Full Entry]

Well, I didn't expect to be here, but sometimes you just end up on a tropical island. Your chances are better when you're travelling thru central america without much purpose. So, I was in San Jose, and I had a good feeling about the place, like I could live there. I started taking doxycyclin because I have had some crazy health lately, and I think I have pneumonia. Anyway, it's been helping and I hope I'm feeling better, but the progress seems really slow. One night I had really high fever in San Jose. Basically, i was sick and weak the [View Full Entry]
