Frozen in Montana

ME:

Been very cold and Saturday may or may not hit 20ºF.

My writing is doing fine; but, today I didn't want to leave my room. Just don't feel like doing nuthin.

Washed 24 shirts at the laundromat yestereve. I will have a closet of clean shirts when I leave. Yes, I will! For the next two weeks I'll just wear Montana maroon.

I wash those separate!

Travis thinks we should do Thanksgiving dinner together... a very nice thought and unexpected. I used to love Thanksgiving, but without family around it's not the same.

Might go to the GAME in Bozeman on Saturday. Need to call Nick. Should call Teresa to see if she'll be in town... Roadtrip?

Salmon loaf at the Senior Center so I'm keeping my self well-fed. At home it's been mac&tuna or rice&beans. Have successfully cut back on beef/pork/chicken ...for now.

It'll be interesting once I'm in Costa Rica if I can find and try new fruits. San Isidro de Pérez Zeledón is a market town. Farmer's Market is all day Thursday and Friday mornings. I plan to get there as much as I can. The regular market is open 6 days/week, so I'll always be able to get stuff. There are super-mercados as well.

I should be eating more at "home" and if these 3 months prove to be more relaxing than the previous trips I'll be able to focus more on observing and trying out new things. Traveling day-to-day is exhausting.

Even with taking pictures... I won't feel as obsessed. The down side of my visit to England was that I lived it behind a camera. (And a few of those photos still remain to be posted!)

I envision myself sitting on a balcony, overlooking the city-lights, inhaling the fragrance of the tropical night. We'll see...
