Home and back again

It really was great to be home.  I tried to see as many people as possible and to relax as much as possible.  I could have had a month and I would have wanted more time.  As it was I felt very rushed the last week.  I will have to have a better plan for next time.

I did end up getting my bike bag, and I now have the nicest bike in Cuba.  lol.  I haven't had a chance to ride it yet, but I'm hoping to give it a go tonight.

I just sat through 3 hours of defensive driving videos (all in spanish) only to find out that the vehicle I'm driving is too dirty to drive.  I need to get it washed before I can take my tour of town.  I will hopefully have that all sorted out for this afternoon.

Anyhow life in Cuba shall be interesting.  I am getting used to it, but I need to get the freedom of driving.  That will help a lot.

Ciao

Strange Happenings

So is it bad things happen in three's or strange things???  In this case I have three strange occurrences in past several days.  I apologize in advance as this post won't have my normal writing flare. #1  Azuly Just when we think that we can go out and have a normal evening strange things happen.  They have renovated this old bar and we had started to go.  It was quite, it was clean, and there are no hookers.  So last night we went out, had some beers and then got in the truck to leave.  We were going to do a quick lap around town and see what was happening.  We pulled through the intersection and a cop on a motorbike pulled us over. First off we rarely interact with the police.  Normally when they see that we don't speak Spanish, and they get our vehicle papers they are happy.  Not this guy.  He was yelling and screaming at us.  Of the three of us that were out, I was the one that knew the most Spanis...

Out of Office Assistant

I'm out of here.  Less than an hour of work left and just over 2 hours until the van leaves for the airport.  It has been a slice but I need this break.  I'm exhausted.  I can't wait to land in Kelowna tomorrow afternoon.  It's going to be my best arrival home yet.  As I mentioned before I won't likely be posting for a few weeks.  Too much fun stuff to do.  Plus don't you all have something better to do than to read my blog???

Ugh

The last couple of months have been interesting.  The relationship ended, and it should have ended at least a year ago.  Unfortunately for all involved it didn't.  I also knew that the end wasn't going to go well.  I knew unless I rolled over and let her steam roll me and take anything she could it was going to go bad.  She never learned the word no.  Nobody ever told her no.  Which unfortunately I did.  I should have known sooner, but you live and you learn. That being said I've taken a lot of crap the last few months.  Non-stop nasty email, constant bad mouthing around town, and passive aggressive posts on social media.  I've tried to take the high road.  I haven't bad mouthed her to my friends or anything.  I don't have to.  When they ask me what happened I tell them it just didn't work out.  I could say a lot more but I don't need to, and this isn't high school. The main point of her contention seems to be tha...
