coffee and salsa

i can´t believe it´s been 2 weeks since my last post. seems like i´ve done tons of stuff since then!

the past 2 weeks have been the weeks of coffee and salsa. i spent a wonderfully relaxing weekend at a coffee and macadamia nut finca nearish the coast in the highlands. it was deliciously more warm than xela which meant shorts and unfortunately, some mozies (as my aussie friend called them). this finca and the people who work, own, live there were pretty unique. bio-diesel and hydroelectricity, among some of their own cool projects. after sleeping in a hammock and waking up to a beautiful tropical sunrise, it was back to xela for another week.

that week was colored by my recent love of salsa dancing. my dance partner and i had scheduled 3 private lessons and were really getting somewhere until he got a parasite. after that spins and shines were...a bad idea. i had a really private lesson, just me and the teach, so i got to focus on all my new hand/hip moves. then my dance partner left to go back to Detroit; thus are the woes of travel and travel buddies.

the week was ending pretty uneventfully, until Thurs night, the night before my big one break to the lake. guess who got sick now... but this case was a bit more serious than my flu-ish thing i got a few months back. this illness involved vomit and no intake of food so i decided to nip this in the bud and start on the cipro. i´m feeling better now and so far, the the trip to the lake has been pretty magical.
