Well there are many things that I do to pass the hours on the bike. The first part of the ride I mostly pray and think about life. This is my time to connect with God and try and stay at peace in relationship to Him. I have no idea how long I do this. I just pray until my mind is empty. My heart is full and my life feels right. Then I enjoy listening to several different things. I have 17 full concerts from NPR'S all songs considered podcast. It is great being able to listen to a whole show live insted of just 1 track. I listen to the harvard business review "ideacast". I download like a dozen at a time and fly through those. I have Henry David Thoreau books "walking" "a fishers boy" "walden" and "the discourse on civil disobedience" that are great. These come from my app called free audiobooks on my iPhone. It costs $1.99 and you get 2947 audiobooks. A pretty great deal. I stop and take pictures and shoot video and pull over wherever I want and enjoy the scenery. I also collect thoughts for my blog I write each day. I also have a couple hundred songs in my iTunes.
So between praying, concerts, audiobooks, taking pictures, shooting video, enjoying the scenery, and collecting blog thoughts I easily fill a 4-5 hour bike ride.
At night I sometimes watch Avatar. I have the whole movie on my iPhone. I've considered lately buying the first season of the office because I think that show is hilarious.
Here are some pictures from our Hotel here in Manzanillo that we are at with Danes Parents.
And for the first time on this trip I have gotten a bit of Montezumas Revenge.
So I'm laying low today here in Manzanillo. First on my agenda is feeling better so I'll keep you posted. Hope your all great.
