Perdida!

There is an expression in spanish perdida which means literally, lost. I am not lost, I know pretty much where I have been and where I am at the present moment, but I have been lost from this site for well...quite a few months, perhaps too many months. Alas, the girl is back. I don´t even know where to begin, or what to write... some hightlights, however, over the past few months. Another candle added to the cake, as I had my birthday in yet another foreign land. Thanks to those who sent birthday cards or wishes from afar. Colombians take a whole week off at Easter and call it Holy week, but I called it a welcomed vacation. Mom came down for the week and we spent the week in Cartagena--yes, the city that has captured my heart. I think mom adores it too, or at least she understands why it is I want to go back. My grade 9 students rock. They are the ones that drive me out of bed in the mornings and make my weeks at the school tolerable. And yes, counting down to the weeks. In March, started teaching beginner classes at the University of Sinu. It is much different than teaching teens and quite a bit more tranquil. It is sad really, I have been racking my brain trying think about what I have done in the past 4 months...and although there have been quite a few adventures I really have´been laying low. I´ve been doing more writing, just not on here and have had 2 articles published on a travel website.

I know that I will be back in VAncouver for the summer, and that is as far as I can confirm for the time being. Those that know me, know that there are more than several ideas storming around my head as to my next move...but we shall see where the itchy feet take me next. No promises, but will try to be more diligent on posting more stories or at least more pics.
