Lucky Lucky!
Hi gram,I got so lucky this morning! I headed out to go for my walk. As I stepped off the elevator, there was the faintest hint of drizzle. Now, you know I hate getting rained on so I headed back up to the room to check the weather and steel my resolve. I psyched myself…

More Mobile
Hi Gram,I had a good day today. I usually wake up around 5am. Either my alarm didn’t go off, I turned it off in my sleep, or I slept through it. In any case, I woke up and checked the time, expecting to see that I was way early and saw that it was almost…

Stairs and Meandering
Hi Gram,I had a great day. I woke up and got some morning routine things done, then headed out on my walk. I took the concrete loop through the trees then up the stairs and slope. I took the narrow goat path stairs up then enjoyed the view before starting down the other way. I…

Hi Gram,Well, today is the end of November, another arbitrary marker of the passage of time. It’s hard to believe that I left America almost three months ago and have had all the amazing adventures that I have. I got up this morning – I woke a little before the alarm actually – and did…

Impossible Sandwich
Hi Gram,I had a bit of a lazy day today. I happily woke with no alarm, being that it’s Sunday, and lazed around for a little bit. Knowing I couldn’t just stay in bed or watch YouTube all day, I got dressed and walked down to Mitte Mitte with Natiya. I have been looking forward…

The Stairs Challenge
Hi Gram,I’m enjoying another beautiful day in paradise. I was heading out to walk when I saw Jo from my classes as we were leaving the hotel. We chatted briefly about a group trip to the night market on Sunday, then she booked it to meet up with the group. That woman walks at superhuman…

I’m Kneaded
Hi Gram,I woke up this morning very much like I have before. I did some of my morning routine then headed out on my walk. I saw a nice sunset on the beach and was glad that the tide was out so I could walk a little farther. I did my usual breakfast and reading…

Luckiest Man You Know
Hi Gram,I’m going to do things a little different today. Instead of reporting on my day, I want to tell you how grateful I am for the life that I get to live. All of my life, I’ve been a lucky man (well, I suppose for the first 10-15 years, I was technically a lucky…
