Words of wisdom from Ted Geisel...

...aka Dr. Seuss ´´Don´t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.¨ We will try. It should be obvious that we think Central America is wonderful, with all its difficulties, bittersweet as life is. I highly recommend it as a traveling destination. I will be reflecting and maybe sending more thoughts soon. We are in the town of Herredia, a university town near the airport. It is kind of a shock. We thought it would be quiet, but it hass massive traffic, bad air, people rushing about madly. Maybe it is because we haven´t been in a city in more than a month, but it exhausted us and, to be honest, makes it easier to leave. But we will be back in Central America one day, I will share thoughts about that later. We fly to D.C. tomorrow, getting in quite late. Our friend Ben, who some of you readers know, will pick us up at a hotel Thursday morning. We will spend some time at his house, and Don and Ellen, again who some of you know, will join us. We are figuring out time after that... will check in Thursday to let you know we are in the U.S. As they say down here, Pura Vida!

I LOVE your quote, but also enjoy reading your writing. You experience such magical and wondrous things and share them so eloquently. I really like how you tell us something and then explain the technicalities so easily and succinctly. I am going to miss your journeys, and share your desire to go to Central America. I never thought I would say that, but you make it so desirable.

Thanks Paul and Kate - hope to see you soon enough. Enjoy your next leg of the journey! R
