Here We Are

Two years ago we spent three months months driving from our home in Calgary, Alberta to Central America. Not being smart enough to appreciate how great that time was we endured the next winter back in Canada, with at least enough sense to start planning to get away this winter.

A man, a plan, Panama! Well, close enough, Costa Rica. This blog was not part of the plan. I seem to want to express myself though and it appears that the blogosphere is a better option than boring my friends back home with my constant emailing and Skyping. Not to mention the fact that they're slogging around in -30 degrees, trying to drive in their lane in the snow muck and ice

whilst being gridlocked on their commute. Telling them the temperature has been around 30 Celsius, the beach is pristine, the local fisherman's catch is cheap and delicious and I'm more relaxed than I've been in years just doesn't hit the right tone. My gripe that the howler monkey's woke me up too early this morning does not gain me any pity.

The pic's show just what I gave up back in cube-land. My new workspace, like my old workspace is air conditioned. There are creatures peering into my new workspace just like in cube-land. The gibbering that is going on in the new workspace is far more comforting than the old workspace. I have no need to pretend I'm paying the least attention to my new workmates. Smug? Moi?
