Everyone is traveling but ME!

Ok, I'm happy for Sam, Miguel and Saloumeh ... it's just that they've given me the itch. The traveler's itch. I wanna be in the sun, getting tan, eating Kivon. Walking the Plaza, looking into the trees hoping to spot a sloth. I wanna be suba diving and scaring Nemo, go on under water adventuers, meet turtles that talk like surfers. I know I've had my share of travels over the last couple of years, but the world is big. The more you travel, the bigger it gets. It gets bigger becuase you learn of some many more places. Places to spend days, and weeks before you can really say. .. "Yea, I've been there" ..

That brings me back to Santa Cruz. That's how I feel about our little Home town (over 1 million poeple). You have to spend days in Santa Cruz to apprecaite the laid back culture and scenary. Sit in "Irish Pub" and look down at the plaza, especially after 3pm. You'll see an endless number of students in white uniforms running around. Boys trying to talk to the Little Crucenas, everyone with thier books held under thier arms. Street vendors hustling icecreams under .50 cents. Money traders on corner, talking about the days events. Extra Micros running to take every back to their homes. Sam and Miguel enjoy!

Saloumeh... stuck on the little island of St. John. Scuba diving everyday ... ... Everything feels so close on a island, you swear you can always hear the waves crashing to shore. If you wake up early, you can catch flocks of storks hunting for fish. The sky is always Blue and the water, ... is so clear and warm. YOU ARE SO LUCKY!

Anywho, the weekend before everyone left (Except Miguel whose has been in Bolivia since August) we took some pictures.

Here's Saloumeh and I at club excel. I actually worked security that night and got to kick a drunk patron out. :)






Well, once again, I'm a bit jealous. But I did want to say to be safe and have fun. See you all soon.
