About Me

My photo
I am a bohemian nomad, someone who acts and lives free of regard for conventional rules and practices, but also one who moves according to the seasons. After traveling to over 100 countries and all 7 continents over the past 12 years I feel that I truly subscribe to the words of Mary Poxon, who said. "I sought to see the amazing as normal and the daily as unique, and in that swirling paradox I found the joy of travel." I will be forever in pursuit of new sights and adventures and hope that maybe I can convince a few more to give budget travel a chance. Budget travel gives those with little money an opportunity to travel and those with money an opportunity to travel longer.

Thursdays Injuries

With all the fun I had diving Thursday I knew it could not last. First, I strained my lower back changing out air tanks and did not realize how bad it was until I could not get out of bed this morning. Then to make matters worse I stubbed my big toe on a concrete step and it does not look good. I went to the pharmacy this morning in an effort to get bandages, an antibiotic cream and pain pills and muscle relaxers. Pharmacies throughout Central and South America distribute just about every pill needed without you having to see a doctor. However, he did suggest I let Dr. John look at my toe. I told him I would rest a couple of days and if it does not get better see him. Dr. John is supposedly a good doctor when not drinking or self-medicated.

Unfortunately my diving is on hold but such is life. Guess I will use the extra time trying to post more pictures.
