just another friday in paradise.

swamped my moto today.  ended up knee high in babyshit green colored muck.  had the shoes sucked off my feet several times.  no one around.  no one really to call.  Dave couldnt come to help because he'd have no idea where I was (even though I was only a couple of blocks from home).

so, i did what i had to do, and pushed the mofo through the shit mud to dry land.  it took a few minutes for me to catch my breath (that bastard is HEAVY), and wash my nasty feet off.   got myself sorted, turned around and headed off to where i needed to be.

point of this post?   dunno really.  other than i realized that once you stop becoming dependent on AAA/iphones/knights in shining armor, you can do just about anything.  


well, almost.   i still can't do math.  but i'm okay with it.

life

hard to believe we've been here 7 months already.   Visa renewals just came back, so we're legal for another 6 months.   Since our apartment lease will be up at that time also, we'll reassess things here and make the decision to stay longer, or return to the states.   My suggestion has been to go back to the US for 6 months and then move to the next destination.  We'll see.....  


Life has been really really good.  Rainy season is just about finished, although its still too flooded for me to ride my moto to school.  Hopefully another couple of weeks ( feels like I say that every couple of weeks!) and everything will be dried up.  

Regular roads are fine, and I'm so happy to be riding again.  I missed that little bit of independence.

School is really ramping up now that the rains are stopping.  There are so many younger children that they've been split into two classrooms, with the basic english lessons held in the main classroom and the beginning students (the abc kids) having lessons in the library.  My older kids have suddenly come to life and are doing quite well.   I finally feel like I'm accomplishing something.
