tikal Still beautiful as ever. It's cool to see pictures of places that I have been...makes me feel like I too traveled once as I sit here at work wishing I was off in some distant land. Thanks for the pictures guys and keep us updated!
love ya,
Lindsie
Moved to tears... Your latest post makes me miss Guatemala so much! I'm so envious and happy for you both. I feel homesick looking at your pictures. I'm anxious to read about your time at Tikal and the upcoming elections!
somos gringos con mucho Thank you for the YouCanTan ponderings. I remembered a day in Antigua in about 1972 when I was coming down with a cold and was sure I needed some vitamin C to ward off the symptoms. I stood in a small pharmacy near the town square and tried to express my request in limited Spanish. It hit me like a ton of bricks that I was a young naive Gringa looking for a luxury that my country marketed to me and I did not comprehend what it meant to live on the edge of survival like many in Guatemala. I suddenly felt embarrassed to be a tourist.
..."no place like 'home'... ...we all heard it, "Home is where you are at the time you are". However, in my journeys, 'home' is most-defiantely where I feel the most comfortable. And some places 'feel' more like 'home' then others, even if I am on the most awesomeist trek of my Life...
:-)
Cataracts... ...hey looking out that Belize bus made me think I needed to go and see a eye doctor about my cataract condition! Glad ya'all are having fun. The MArket officially closes tomorrow, Nov 4th. What a looooong season, aya!?!...
StayHappy....
StrumminMePainWithHisFingers... ...hey great, Tim, that you have guitar in tow...perhaps ya show me a few tunes when you get back to the land of Hi-chinook winds, as it is today!
StayStrummin my man...
You are not ALONE To feel the way you do maybe be naive, and if it is so what. You will not be able to change the world be yourself, but writing what you have written is a start, and comtemplating what you have comtemplated is a begining.
Just change, I believe, does not radically happen overnight it must start with one grain of sand. You and I make two, so their is only another 6 billion or so left that we have to enlighten. HaHa.
No seriously though it is difficult not to become a cynic with all the pain and injustice in the world. If you can learn the true Mexican and Southern American culture and convey that to people such as myself, you are doing more than most.
I commend your effort to truly understand what the impoverished of South American and Meixico live like. In order to better understand this you will have to live similarly to them.
I hope that you continue working in this prose and look forward to seeing your next report.
I wish you guys luck and fun.

P.S. be careful
What would the world be like without Justification!? Hola Amigos!
Muchas Gracias para los "Prose" de tu viajes. Muy Bien Tim....te escribes muy bien!...es mejor de mi tarea ahora...y es un practicalamente perfecto, porque estudio de clase en Latino/a historia...que bien. Un justifacacion perfecto...porque no leo mi libro de mi clase ahora....pero su "prose" esta muy interesante...gracias!
Disc Golf? Hey, nice to hear from ya' I'd forgotten you are on our list thanks for posting. I'm sorry to say I didn' t bring discs this trip and haven't been looking for courses. I brought climbing gear instead. However, I figure where there's courses theres discs and maybe that time will come. More likely in South America than in Central America but I haven't looked into it. Throw an ace for me, Cheers!
keep on writin'! We're loving you travel blog and the accompanying pictures are fun and quality stuff. Yes, do think about writing travel things for the people who'll pay you. You're good at it!
Have you been playing any disc golf or tossing a frisbee?
Enjoy!

I love distraction Hello Loves! Thank you for the sweet distraction...
(I should be studying....as I am hidin out in da library as we speak) Howeva, I am ever so stoked that all is well and look forward to hearing about the next adventures. OH, Miss Nat think of me manana for I will be doing my capsizing drill for my sailing class.....one word....cold. Luv you guys!!
Todo es alimento para el corazon Gracias por tus palabras tan bellas. I love to hear you thinking forward. I have been pondering the notion of opening one's heart to receive whatever comes with each day. Each person we meet brings us something--some revelation of creation and goodness. Even the bearded fellow at the auto body shop the other day who was telling me jokes when I was trying to read a book, I had to catch myself and ask--what gift does this soul have for me today? I am still pondering that one, but my heart is open. I look forward to hearing what gifts come your way. Yo mudda
Yeah, nice tones there guys... ...you have 'color' in the sky, we have it in the tree's:-)
Snow was on-the-peaks 1st of October. Might be a 'wild' winter here!
Keep warm---hahaha!
Enjoying Your Blog You two really know how to breathe in life's experiences. Whichever breeze you catch, be safe and know you're loved......and don't forget to write for those of us that need your adventure too.
hi again! Tim, you wrote just enough wonderful things. I totally feel like I'm in Mexico, not in chilly Calgary. Chilly Calgary is great, but mexico sounds just lovely.
Thanks for taking us on your travels. Wow! Love the description of your flight over WA. That's what traveling is about!!! Enjoy the warm weather, I wish I was there with you! Take care, and live it up!!!! - Georgia
West Meets East Happy Birthday Tim! We'll drink you a toast from here. Take time to breathe deeply and feel the energy of the ancients at the ruins. Let us know when you have an address.
Thank you for describing the moon/sun journey across WA. I heard a speaker recently describing the light in the west meeting the light from the east as significant--an invitation to a co-mingling of energy--a meeting a cultures, a meeting of the masculine (the sun) and the feminine (the moon)--deep holy energy at the root of our being is invited to oneness. The whole universe takes part in the dance. Love you lots, Tricia
Tim and Natalie are a couple of woohooers who travel light, play a lot, and enjoy good company on a global scale. We travel to learn about ourselves, others and the planet. Live to love, love to live with peace, humility and open arms. Oh and maybe a pint or two! Cheers, Nat and Tim... full info
