How to freak out Mom so fast...

[learnteach]

Everyone has their own reality.

I mentioned the thought of volunteering as an engineer in Latin America. Spend a year learning Spanish and teaching technology and setting up alt eng systems. Ride my motorcycle around Guatemala or one of those stories.

I'm apparently certifiably crazy for that idea. Who knew? Sounds pretty good to me...

Tonight I was re-reading Edward Abbey's boyhood travels in "The journey home" and thinking wistfully about the many daring schemes that I never went through with. Not that I'm complaining too much, I've done many many weird and wonderful things over the years, and so have you. I guess someone who really does like that kind of adventure will never truly outgrow it...thought we may eventually forget about it.

Go forth, buy a backpack made of bat skin, explore a culture that wasn't raised on Wal-mart, eat something weird, learn a Mexican ballad, search for a golden idol, and come back and tell me all about it....
