Got a Feeling Inside Can’t Explain
I wish I could explain why there are places that I just don’t like and places that I love. All I can say is that it is from deep inside. Some places just set off alarms in me that there is something not right or not for me. I’ve learned to try to persevere through these times and sometimes a place grows on me. But then there is Cuba and Bolivia that just didn’t grow well. Puno isn’t suppose to be a nice place according to the travel books, but I have already fallen in love with it. The lake is beautiful, the people are exceptionally friendly, the food is interesting and international, the sun is bright, the air is crisp and it just feels right to me. I can’t explain it any more than that. I grow tired of travel books telling me where I should like and where I should not like. It just seems very disingenuous. In the same respect, you shouldn’t listen to me about these places and how I feel about them. Go out and find out for yourself. Somebody has to like New Jersey 🙂
I could not explain why I loved Tanzania other than to say that it felt like it was inside me… in my DNA… our home. I was worried leaving Bolivia that I was burned out and the last two weeks were not going to be what I wanted them to be. Well that thought is now gone. I love Peru and Peruvians and I can’t explain why nor do I feel like I need to explain why. Peru is my favorite Latin American country. I’m feeling good now, yeah, but can’t explain (Pete Townshend).

Hi Rick,nrLast night Malú, my argentinean wife, and I were watching our videos from the Glacier boattrip at Calafate and she had us both on the video. It pleased me also to see the breaking of the big piece of ice on our video as on your photos.nrKeep on searching and learning. You have started to remind me of the boy ,Santiago( in the book Alchemist by Paulo Coelho), who findsnrand spreads good will in all the people he meets.nrI also learned from your statement: We don´t have to worry about the indigenous people who continue their lifestyle, or those who leave it and adapt fully to the modern world; the problem lies with the people who don´t belong to either group and live a transition period .
