I shot this around five. I like that time of day. Especially when there are clouds around.

Being cousins, Kelly and Christine are always up to something. Or laughing about something.

Although it's hard to tell, we're right behind the waterfall.

This certainly isn't one of the roughest bits we went over, but I like the photo.

Desert. I'm getting slightly jaded about desert scenes. Anyone still interested?

Off-Roading with Kevin and Christine

Last Sunday Kelly and I went off-roading with Kevin and Christine. It was a great time—great to hang out with them, and nice to get out in nature. We went to a place called Chiva Falls. Since it has rained a lot recently, there was lots of water going over. Here are a few photos.

Musing

I feel like it’s about time that I posted a musing/thoughtful post. After all, pictures are worth a thousand words, but it doesn’t really take me that long to write a thousand words. If anyone will read them in another question, of course.

I managed to get some more Costa Rica preparation done today, which is good. I haven’t been the best about motivating myself to get that done. I find that my motivation for a lot of stuff isn’t at a peak at this point. Partly I think it’s the February blahs, and partly it’s that work and school keep me plenty busy.

In any case, I’m closer to where I need to be, but I would like to be farther. I’ve got a good chunk of my presentation for Solar Hot Water done. I feel good about it so far, but am starting to get a bit nervous about actually presenting it in Costa Rica. I know the material fairly well, but I don’t have as much experience in a variety of systems as I would like, so I hope the students don’t stump me too much.
