Well I am back to express...

I have taking time in life to see what I could have done to make life better for myself and others. I have spent time looking back at what I could have done to make things better. I have spent time dreaming of a day when things are right and I can make a difference. I have to spent time wondering just wondering what If...
We can live in the past or dream of the future but how many live in the moment. The Present. The Now. Today I want to take to expressing what I have seen and learned to date. I want to express what I want to see and learn. What I am doing and struggle with in life. I am back to blogging to express and be open with the community. In the now Blogging is the way to express yourself, so I take up the challange of adding my voice and view to the blogger media platform.

Thank You, Community

Lago de Atitlán Guatemala -Arriving Moments

The travels have been awaking to the presents of the moment. Here the mountains dance with the rivers. The result es el Lago de Atitlán. I will post for the first 24 hours here. Arrived in Pana Jarchel on the east side on the lake. The lead poin to the lakes community.
The lake is surrounded by many villages, in which Maya culture is still prevalent and traditional dress is worn. The Maya people of Atitlán are predominantly Tz'utujil and Kaqchikel. During the Spanish conquest of the Americas, the Kaqchikel initially allied themselves with the invaders to defeat their historic enemies the Tz'utujil and Quiché Maya, but were themselves conquered and subdued when they refused to pay tribute to the Spanish.
We are staying in the town of Pana Jarchel at the Hotel Marios, the corner of calla santender. About 300 meters walk west to the docks and beach. The streets are full of bright dress and spirits. We (Amber- amiga de Roatan by the way of Houston and I) walked to the beach around sunset. The cloulds and winds where thinking it was best to continue their work of the -start of rainy season. Rainy season- May through Octuber with a brake in June. The other season is dry November through April. The rain is fresh from the tips of the surrounding volcanos. To many to name now; dozen plus. We meet some locals who where quick to warm us with friendship and conversation. We spent the next hour or so learning about local culture and getting invided to a futbol game today around 1. Next we where off the to dine at Bombay Cafe, The first true vegetarian chief I meet in central America. We a fresh hummas, jarden sopas con pan, Thi pan tofu and Wafel. Amber drink a green mint tea and I El Gallo. Total bill was 165 Quetzales. Including tip. We went back to Hotel Mario for sleep.
The dinner 165 Quetz ; room - double bed, tv, breakfast, and communal bath 130 Quetzales. Plus the mini bus from Antigua city 160.The Exchange rate is 8 Quetzales to 1 Dollar US. Total One day expense 455 Quetzales/ 2 persons = 228 Quetz exchanged 28 dollars. This is a big spending day. I try to average 10 to 15 dollar per day. It like riding a cost wave.
This morning the world was colored with smooth grays and sound on rain drops dancing on steel roofs and leafs. Amber spent the night awake with stomach aches. I drank a cup of cafe negro and set out to find a clinic to help. I walk about ten blocks and found three clinics, one which spoke english. A hour later we took a ride in a titic a three wheeled scooter for 10 Quetz. La Doctora was kind and Amber spoke spainish using a past presentense word to disribe where she lives- Roatan, Honduras. Thats big in the word usage game, two points. They gave her some antibiotics, Gratis. back to the hotel by foot to see the street shoping openning for the day. Had breakfast and took to writing the blog. This has been the last 24 hours of moments.

Where to begin

I have thought of what topical information I wanted to express through this media of a blog. My focus will be on Sustainable develop/cultivation in Central America and Sustainable travel. My thoughts wonder from the reality of my steps, skips, swims, and sits in this Nicaraguan world of beauty. Why is this place getting trashed and what is the plan of action to combat the fear of this reality. First is where did all the trash and culture of consumption come from? In short the answer the outside world... And how did is get here? It was imported like all goods which are non native. Side note Things that are native here, I have seen imported. To turn the topic of imports to the positive of the tourists. People who want to experience the Nica, short of Nicaraguan, land and culture first hand. In short order they come to get away from their cultures as a whole. Thus I will back track and give some advice on what one should bring and look to do to help bring forth the action which is needed to cultivate the of central America for the people and by the people... the result I hope will be like visiting a neighbor of the world where one enjoys the differences and feels safe to explore them to better oneself and all....
