Co-op

Hey all,

Well I had an interesting turn of events the other day. I went over to my old house at the Co-op to pick up some stuff I left with a friend there and ran into some of my other friends. When they heard I was staying in the youth hostel cos the office for the co-op wouldn't let me stay at the co-op for only a few days they were outraged. And since noone is actually in my old room, and they had the key... Well I'm back staying in my old room again. Weird. It's nice seeing everyone again, and they're all happy (and shocked) to see me. But its a bit strange being back in a place I'd said mental goodbyes to and put behind me.

I went to Niagara Falls yesterday on a tour and had a great time. The falls were really incredible. Hardly real. Especially with the way the light shone through the mist, the effect was more like looking at a painting than real life. All the land around the falls is parkland and really pretty in early spring with tulips blooming everywhere. The attached town is a bit tacky but hey, so's the Gold Coast. Sadly I couldn't get into any of the 60's motels. I have images of honeymoon suites with heartshaped beds spread with pink chenile that I wanted to check out.

Am making final Central America preparations. It's quite nerve-racking, have no idea what to expect. But that's part of the fun I guess.
