thoughts on the road.

i´m near the end of my little ´vacation´away from the orphanage and have come down with something - possibly a flu, possibly some sort of parasite - in the last couple days.
on a bright note, i´m in a great hostel, in a great town (granada, nicaragua) with a nice little family of travelers that i´ve been lucky enough to collect along the way.
i´ve learned that when travelling through central america, one must allow for delays and obstacles of many kinds.
i had the no-money obstacle in san juan del sur, the natural disaster-weather obstacle on isla ometepe (mudslide blocking bus route 14 km out of town- had to get out and walk til some sort of transportation made it´s way to us). now i have the sick obstacle, which keeps me close to bed, hammock or bathroom.
all that being said, i´ve very much enjoyed my little adventure. i´ve met great people to travel with along the way and had the chance to surf, swim, hike to a waterfall on a volcano and do lots and lots and lots of thinking.
trying to rev myself up for another 2 months of the orphanage. i´m looking forward to seeing the kids, but i´m not looking forward to being isolated out there - or to the constant-ness of it (if that´s even a word).
i´m sure it will only take me a few days to jump right back into the swing of things. and it´s important to me to complete my time there.

i´ve also done a lot of thinking of where i´ll go when i´m done in honduras. after spending the holidays with my family. i´ve thought about so many different options, but for now i´m leaning towards heading back to toronto. my plan a. plans can change, but at least i feel like i have a plan. i also have a plan b, c and d.... there was a moment about a week ago when i was convinced i wanted to adopt a 3 yr old - even though it´s not actually allowed out of honduras - but then i remembered that i´m an actor and have no money. not a good plan. however, it may be something i would do if and when i ever have money.

anyhoo. that´s enough for now.
i think i need to lay down.
