WanderingWhy…

Here are some stupid unrelated observations and rants I’ve had while traveling in Latin America (don’t take any of this too seriously):

The queue is a figment of the North American imagination… or perhaps gringos are invisible due to our blinding white skin. I swear I’ve [...]

A few years ago I read a book by Alan Weisbecker called “In Search of Captain Zero” I loved this story. Is it a bit embellished? Maybe, but I think most great storytelling is. If you haven’t read it you should click the link and buy it (or anything) to help get [...]

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS PICTURE AND VOTE….SHOULD SEAN KEEP THE BEARD OR SHAVE IT OFF? He says Wandering Sean has a beard, Sean does not. I told him I married Sean, not Wandering Sean. So we decided a vote would be the best way to end our stalemate. Post [...]

Yesterday we took an all day snorkeling trip off of Tortuga Island in Costa Rica. Last night we were pretty tired after snorkeling and being in the sun all day, so we went to bed rather early. At 11pm we were awakened to the sound of a couple walking out [...]
