Wonderings As I Wander: March 2011
http://bsickler.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wonderings As I Wander. Thursday, March 10, 2011. It’s March and I haven’t posted anything on here in 2011! Man do I have some catch-up to do…. This year has been chugging along at an astonishing speed but overall it’s been really great. Life is good :). I’m still in Guatemala for those who may be remembering that I came now over two years ago. If I was following old plans, this would be my last month of work….crazy! However, I was offered a position as a Peace Corps Volunteer Leader. But so far so good.

Wonderings As I Wander: August 2010
http://bsickler.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Wonderings As I Wander. Thursday, August 26, 2010. The Canadians coming to my house for tea. The view from the second floor corridor. The view walking down the main street towards my house. Coming from the other direction. I love the mountains that surround us. My favorite street dog hanging out in front of a store. He looks big and ferocious but is a big softy inside. Pharmacy/mayan natural medicine store. The old church, patron saints St. Judas Tadeo and St. Simon. Small mouth for such a big apple!

Wonderings As I Wander. Saturday, June 11, 2011. For all of you who have been scolding me.here's a quick visual update :) I've actually had these pictures set aside forever to upload, just haven't gotten around to it I guess. Was busy with school work, Easter in April, gall bladder surgery in May (surprise! Yum, avacados at the market. Saw this picture and thought of a really easy where's waldo picture :). This is actually from Thanksgiving, all my boys have since left! Day at the lake with extended fam.

Wonderings As I Wander. Friday, December 31, 2010. 10 Photos of 2010 That Didn't Make It In The Blog. To wrap up, many pictures that mean a lot to me do not get shared, so what better time than now to throw in some of my favorites (not necessarily the best I have taken, but ones that carry deeper meanings or represent changing experiences for me) from 2010. Enjoy! Monday, December 27, 2010. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! I guess in those general terms, it’s like back home. We set up the ...

Wonderings As I Wander. Monday, September 26, 2011. Cooking caldo de marisco for Papa Chico and Mama Lupe's 55 wedding anniversay. Carnaval El Novillero style: kids and youth running around with confetti, eggs and flour. Hard at work teaching financial education to a woman's group. Last procession before Semana Santa (Holy Week). They set up a station in front of Papa Chico's house. So much bread but went faster using Papa Eugenio's brick oven. Relaxing trip to the lake :). Birthday party out in the campo.

Wonderings As I Wander. Tuesday, August 16, 2011. So I have been out of touch this year. Pero exagerado (lit exagerrated.too much! And I cross my fingers that good democracy triumphs during the whole mess. Everyone keeps asking me who I think is the least bad, not who's the best. I'll be posting pictures soon to tell the stories of my recent adventures :). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Wonderings As I Wander. Monday, March 26, 2012. Roughly translated: walk together. Below I've posted some pictures of my walk in life (in Guatemala), together with those special to me. My two Guatemalan families together for the first time :). One of my favorite places- Chuitzanchaj. Try it out loud: chewy-sz-an-cha-hh :).

Wonderings As I Wander. Monday, December 31, 2012. The End of 2012. I mean I finished my work in the Highlands the end of April, and since have traveled up and down, half way around the world and back :) 2012 was quite the memorable year! So I have an idea for the New Year: to share interesting pictures, quotes and stories, here on the blogster. It won't be anything epic.but I think it'll be fun. Almost as much as taking a leisurely cruise down the creek.almost :). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Lodge a...

Wonderings As I Wander: Costa Rica
http://bsickler.blogspot.com/2013/01/costa-rica_19.html
Wonderings As I Wander. Saturday, January 19, 2013. Last week I posted pictures from Belize, in a somewhat vain attempt to feel warmer! These days that chill in my bones is returning and today I'm sharing pictures from that same trip, but of Costa Rica. Back in 2005 I spent a semester studying there and lived with a wonderful family. Besides visiting them, Molly and I also traveled about to see some beautiful sites. Dear friends on a hike around the Volcano Poas. The crater at Poas. Looking up bird names.
