I know how dull you find it when I rabbit on about how busy I am and how little time I have had for blogging, (especially as you internet potatoes out there have nothing better to do) but the month of May and June really has been exciting and busy. I've been away from the blog for the last ten days because I've been on my annual jaunt to El Salvador.
What an exciting few days! I love bouncing down the dusty roads of El Salvador in a pick up truck with a group of teenagers. We climbed a volcano, visited a coffee plantation, went to the site of the martyrdom of Romero, celebrated a village fiesta for Saint Anthony of Padua complete with fireworks during Mass, a clown after Mass, work in the local school and parish and all with a dose of reality with lots of heat and no air conditioning.
My favorite comment from the teenagers: Kid arrives home and Dad says, "Welcome to the real world." Kid pauses and says, "No Dad. I've just come from the real world."
AMEN.
You've been gone?
ReplyDeleteWho knew!
Yeah, that is the real world. We are living in a bubble. Best.
ReplyDeleteI noticed you were gone. It was quite empty atmospherically, blogwise, without you actually. Then again, with all your alter egos, there's a few of you to miss.
ReplyDeleteI did reflect yesterday, that having been gone so long, you might have found real life to be preferable to online living. It happens to me sometimes, well, when I sleep, but as soon as I wake up I forget all about that other world and get back online a.s.a.p!
Seriously, it sounds as if you've been having a thoroughly great time, if not adventure.
I suppose you'll still visit us on holidays, birthdays and Christmas! ;)
PS. I've only gone and landed a proper job Father, as opposed to part time, so I may be missing myself soon........
Unless I am allowed to go online during lunch breaks........
I am glad the trip went well and you are all back in Greenville. Can you put some of the pictures from the trip in a post? They are always good!
