Listening to the
Deep calm breath of the forest
Allows me to sleep.

We went to check out the Quetzal trail since we hadn’t been on it for a month and a half and it’s the old good news/bad news story.
The good news is that it survived the worst of the rainy season and is jog/hikeable from end to end. In fact yesterday it was just about perfect all the way around, with a light breeze helping to keep us cool and comfortable.
The bad news; it’s in great condition. Yesterday I lucked out and managed to find a decent excuse to walk the trail. At the Quetzal Hotel where we take a taxi to the trailhead, we met an American who just got here on Friday and he looked a little confused to me. I asked him if he wanted to tag along with us on our hike, and he said sure. That’s the excuse I was looking for. I was tired and didn’t feel up to running.
But next week I won’t have that excuse. Not that I don’t enjoy a good wrenching sweatfest now and then, but doing the Quetzal out and back on a regular basis is like going to church; both edifying and nauseating at the same time.
