boosters, bucket lists, politics and mysterious cities of gold

Well, folks, i am boosted. After waiting about three weeks for a formal vaccination card from the Panamanian ministry of health to arrive at my hotel, i gave up and decided to try my luck at a walk-in. I walked in. I got vaxxed. That was easy. It was nice having the feeling like i am doing my bit for global health by coming in to get vaxxed even

Since I live in a country that borders Russia, the situation in Ukraine screams a bit more loudly on my radar, but I've been too grossed out by it to articulate my concerns on LJ.

I'm also ex-architectural so for me, seeing the Mayan jungle temples of Tikal (with howler monkeys roaring) was amazing, much better than the Aztec temples in Mexico, though they were pretty excellent! I'm too obsessed with the architecture to notice the tourists, who I suspect would drown out the experience for you, and Guatemalan food was pretty bland. THE PYRAMID WAS AWESOME!!!




The restaurant gig sounds interesting!

That is a funny looking pyramid. Although you're right that the first thing i noticed was all the people around it. People do tend to annoy me when i'm trying to enjoy something cool. Then again, when you are up close, you can usually find corners of less people, and those are nice. I'm happy i went to the ruins at Delphi, for example, even though it was mostly packed. That said... i did go by myself, i didn't need to have a guide to take me from my accommodation to the site. That would've annoyed me a lot more, i think.
