Traveling

Each other phase of this trip was sort of its own very defined and
coherent thing. Visiting a friend in Puerto Rico, for example, or
camping on an island, or staying with a friend's family in the
Dominican Republic, a visit to Haiti, 12 days at sea, 5 weeks in
Trinidad waiting for the boat to be fixed. Each phase had a very
coherently defined home base, set of people, and rhythm attached to it.

Right now however, even though I'm in closest proximity to the
ostensible goal for this trip (speaking Portuguese), I am just
straight up traveling. Youth hostel backpacking dollar watching
meeting europeans on old-style Grand Tours traveling.

This post won't go out until the next time I connect my laptop to the
internet. God willing I'll have escaped by then.
