Why do I always feel as if I am catching up??

As usual it has been too long since I have posted an entry but I have come to terms with the fact that I am not a journalist. :) I know my profession and journalism is not it.

To that end I will try to do some catching up. Since the last post I went to Costa Rica with friends from the States. It was so good to see them all and get to explore a little bit more of Central America. A side note that most Americans may not know is there is a kind of rivalry and feud between the countries of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The rift goes back a long time in history with varies reason ( ownership of Rio San Juan, a war where something was burned and someone took something, and the economic/ political / social differences between the countries). Regardless the countries in land mass are very similar. Check out the picks.
