                    <title>What's old is...</title>
                    <description>Fully paved streets unexciting but standard chain restaurants and stores Target and WalMart people looking seemingly distinctly Midwestern skyscrapers  what's old is new again.  As you have likely now guessed I am home  I know I have not written much in the last few weeks and there is some reason behind it.  Some of you who already know I am home will be aware but the reality is that my</description>

                    <title>On a Mission From God...</title>
                    <description>It's been a number of days since I last wrote you I realize.  That said if I have nothing worthwhile to say it doesn't make much sense to just ramble on pointlessly...I can do that often enough without my helping that cause...So...with that out of the way I think I do have some to write about and share with you.  I have returned to Granada in the country of Nicaragua.  As far as sites to see I</description>

                    <title>It's My First Tropical Storm</title>
                    <description>Well...I know I haven't written in a short while in part because the last few days haven't been all that interesting at least to read about.  I also am at a public internet source so I'm paying to write this so it really will be short.  Anyway here is the quick recap...Since I last wrote you I made it to the small town of San Juan de Oriente to talk with some people on pottery.  I brought al</description>

                    <description>Okay the title is admitted not very catchy.  However I figured it was time to do some writing to my friends and family via the blog.  Today was going to be another trip to San Juan de Oriente where most of the pottery that is sold is actually made.  I was going to go with the person I met at La Merced church as he speaks Fluent English and think I can trust him some as he introduced me to the p</description>

                    <description>While I'm sitting here laying low for a day in hopes the ATM's will figure out my account so I can have more of my money sitting in my account back home I thought I would write.  I think what is happening is the deposits are reporting a little bit slower so it thinks I'm broke.  Now nobody worry especially you Mom I still have cash in dollars and Cordobas plus credit cards for those places </description>

                    <title>The Two Granadas</title>
                    <description>It's now been a few days that I've been in Granada able to see what changes have or have not occurred in this Spanish Colonial city in the country of Nicaragua.  With this observation I can say there are two Granadas...the one of hope and that INTUR the Nicaragua Tourism Agency and the one that remains much of what Nicaragua still is...waiting in desperate hope of a better tomorrow.The city of</description>

                    <title>Nicaragua Round Two...</title>
                    <description>Today started bright well it actually wasn't very bright when my cellphone alarm went off at 4AM and early in San Jose.  I had managed to find the Tica Bus ticket agency relatively close to my San Jose Costa Rica hostel and had purchased my ticket previously.  I got up and ready for the long journey to Nicaragua with the taxi picking me up promptly at 5AM as arranged.  The taxi driver quickly </description>

                    <description>About 3 seconds after reading the title my friend that is following along from the offices of the City of Fridley should be getting quite a chuckle.  She emailed me this morning saying she was remembering the Dionne Warwick song of that name...I've now been in San Jose for a few days and thought I'd share some thoughts.  Again Costa Rica really was going to be more a passthrough country but ra</description>

                    <description>I bid farewell to Boquete Panama early in the morning on the 5th deciding I would take the local bus from the small town of Boquete into David the main transfer point on the northern part of Panama and where I had gone the previous day to purchase my Tracopa Bus ticket to San Jose.  The hostel owner who spoke good English and had lived in the States for a while saw me off in the morning and di</description>

                    <description>Ive been spending the last 6 days now in Boquete Pamana.  Boquete is a small town with gringo influence in the mountains of Panama.  There is the main street with some restaurants a few small souvenirtype shops small supermarkets and other assorted stores.  Theres also the small hotels or hostels around town.  Finally for those people ready to buy their second home or relocate to a</description>

                    <description>Today I write from Boquete Panama but am writing on stops over the last few days.  Starting back in Bocas del Toro on Monday morning...I had heard about Bocas del Drago Mouth of the Dragon a beach on the island with Bocas Town that was worth seeing when Bocas Town was just too hectic for you relatively speaking of course....  I had seen a sign for a collectivo taxi  a minibus that is le</description>

                    <description>Everyone...sorry some of the pictures aren't coming through...they are fine on my computer so I'm not sure where the problem is...I will see what I can do.  Maybe I will need to publish them through .mac versus this website. I've now been in Bocas del Toro for a few days and today Sunday seems to be a good day to write a new blog.  Besides being Sunday always a quiet day it</description>

                    <description>Baseball...as those of you who have known me for a while know it has not always been a huge love of mine.  However I think there's some things about it that have made it a love of mine especially my Minnesota Twins.  I think there's a few qualities that do it for me...there's actually the nerd factor of stats and numbers that intrigue's me.  There's then the sense of the competition and thril</description>

                    <description>I sit in my hostel room listening to the first big rain I've experienced here in Panama City hitting the tin roof.  We are of course on the edge of the rainy season and I'm actually a little surprised there has been no rain thus far.  I knew it was coming as I walked down the street for lunch and looked up at ominous dark clouds forming in the sky.  However I safely made it back to the hostel b</description>

                    <description>Okay everyone I know I've gotten a little behind on writing blogs and now have to play catchup.  I have now been in Panama City for a few days and while I wrote more in my other travel journal want to make sure I get something to everything to get some idea of life so far in Panama.  Also I realize a few pictures are not uploading very well to the blog.  I'm sorry about that...I am thinking it</description>

                    <title>Manta Part 2 with some pics</title>
                    <description>Hello everyone...I write this part actually back in Quito having returned yesterday.  Ecuador especially weatherwise is just an amazing country.  I started yesterday in Manta which is on the coast and rather tropical at least while I was there.  It was about 80F and relatively humid though not horribly so.  I got on the TAME flight and a half hour later I am in Quito and a cool 60F with li</description>

                    <description>I have yet to take pictures yet though that is on the agenda for tomorrow.  Anyway Hace mucho calor en Mantashould translate as its hot in Manta.  Today the bank thermometers read 34C which should translate to about 95F remember when taking your temperature when youre sick 37C is 98.6F.  Not only is the temperature up there its also pretty humid.  However being on the ocean</description>

                    <description>Hello everyone I realize I'm a little behind but been traveling some more in fact I'm in a McDonald's in Guatemala City for the hotel conference I decided to attend.  I might write more on that later....  Anyway while I have a half hour of free wifi thanks to McD's here's what I previously wrote on the Amazon...Im back in Quito and quite frankly freezing as I went from 90F and about the </description>

                    <title>Back to Quito for a few hours</title>
                    <description>Quito being somewhere relatively near the middle of the country serves as a good base point between trips.  I just bused back from Cuenca and tonight will head out to the Amazon.  It's been mostly a blast so far...I actually left Cuenca on Monday late morning.  The road from Cuenca to Quito is about 442 kilometers 275 miles is isn't a terribly long distance but about a 1012 hour bus ride.  </description>

                    <title>Wrapping up in Cuenca...</title>
                    <description>It is now in the evening of Easter Sunday and its time to start wrapping up Cuenca.  Ive decided I will head out tomorrow assuming buses are running relatively well.  It is an estimated 12 hour bus ride to Quito from Cuenca and if Im going to take the bus I need to break up the trip.  I can basically divide the trip in half if I leave tomorrow and get as far as Riobamba.  That seems a wh</description>
