From Nicaragua
I'm typing this post from an Internet cafe in the city of Granada in Nicaragua where I'm vacationing with my family. Though the Internet connection has been sporadic at times, this is a wonderful reminder of just how completely connected the world has become.
As I've strolled the streets here, peeking into shops, I've seen many Korean products on the shelves. These are noteworthy to me because I just spent some time in Korea so I recognize familiar brand names. Today we visited the workshop of a master guitar maker. He showed us guitars that had been shipped to Nicaragua from China just so he can repair them. The cultural museum in Granada has been restored and supported by a group from Sweden.
I love to travel because it helps me to see the world and my daily activities throgh new eyes. What I learn and internalize from expanding my view shapes and influences my choices as I move forward.
When was the last time you left a comfortable routine and tried something (or somewhere) new? How did it change you? Are you ready to do it again?
