I've been quiet the last few weeks because, to be honest, returning to the USA has been a real jolt to my system. On one level, I picked up exactly where I left off. Driving a car is like riding a bike. Finding salsa clubs was as easy as searching the internet. On another level, I've met up with friends and old colleagues and felt as though I've been living in a parallel universe.
After a few weeks at home, I decided to come visit New York City, which along with Medellin…and Venice…and Pokhara…and dare I say Paris…is one of my favorite cities in the world. I'm having some fun adventures after just 24 hours, so I look forward to sharing more soon.
Earlier today, I found myself meditating atop a rock outcropping in Central Park. I'd lost touch with how beneficial it can be to practice meditation, and am trying to get back into it, which will compliment my new yoga practice well.
But perhaps of most interest to me was the epiphany I had before that meditation:
The last time I was unemployed, I decided to pursue a dream trip around the world. If I can make my (travel) dream a reality once, it stands to reason that I can do it again.
Stay tuned.
That last paragraph has me interested, looking forward to hearing what you have planned Dave. Good Luck.
My home town! Have fun, it’s one of the craziest places on earth. THey say you don’t ever have to leave NYC and yet you can travel the whole world there:)

Yep, I love NY! Judging from last night, they’ve upped the wattage in Time Square. I need to step up my salsa skills if I’m going to be able to hang with the community here. :)

DEFINITELY check out Jimmy Anton’s social (www.salsanewyork.com) if you’re still around Sunday night… it’s the best place to go dancing in the city (and the country, if you ask me). A bit intimidating but just stay away from that corner of the floor on the right when you first enter. Or go over to watch, it’s a free show you’d usually have to pay to see. Have fun!!!
