storm moving in on our hotel
wish i had better photo of school. we were driving. school looked like a prison.

This is my 2nd trip here and I could say it was better than the first. What a beautiful and unique place this is. It is one of the dirtiest, but at the same time most beautiful places I have been to. It somewhat makes me upset, the inadequacy by which this land is taken care of. This land is paradise, naturally. Then you start looking at how the land is used. The houses, the properties, the streets, signs, the towns….everything is dirty and mistreated. I have seen abandoned cars on the side of main roads with weeds growing from them. I came across a starving cow directly across the street from a neighborhood, and a horse that was literally tied to a pole 2 feet from a busy road. Trash is decoration to the roads, and their drivers are the most impatient, daring, insane drivers I have ever seen. Way worse than LA. Did the moral of cleanliness get washed out in the waves? What is funny though is, the beauty is still not remotely hindered by the lack of malcontent citizens who call this land their home. I can’t honestly see why people let beauty degenerate to garbage. Why dilute it’s brilliance? Some things I will never know. Oh well, I am still rejoicing in it’s natural beauty.
I made it a goal to order a meal in spanish, without any confusion from the employee. 1st attempt, definitely didn’t work, as I totally botched my opening statement. I don’t even know what I said. My 2nd attempt was a success, although I bet is seemed a bit rude. ”Numero dos, grande Coke, gracias.” NAILED IT! I will be speaking fluently in no time. ; )
Well my first climb(300ft tower) was suspended due to a missing safety slider. I was a little bummed, but safety first. Not worth the risk. I snapped some photos, I will be uploading shortly so stay tuned. Tomorrow I am climbing/riding (it has an elevator that goes near the top) a 1200ft tower, doing another photoshoot at the very top of the tower. You get an amazing view of the Ocean, as well as being amidst large cumulous clouds in the most entrancing blue sky.
Looking forward to getting back to the states and start filming for CIY in Missouri. Going to be awesome. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I have a ton on my mind/plate right now. I am grateful. Thanks.
With Hope and Love
