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

I really like the way you have explained your feelings on the situation with Russia. This is exactly how I feel and you've articulated it so well. I know and believe these types of situations are important but I don't know enough to know what is the correct opinion for me to have, so I am happy to leave it to others. In addition, my mind can only handle so much heavy, tragic, horrible kinds of things before I go into overload and feel dreadful inside, so I do consciously limit my intake of stuff like that. I have felt guilty about that previously, but I've tried to stop, because there ARE others who can study and work to help in ways without feeling so upset by it. And that balance is good...we each have our own purpose.

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!!!

My sister loved living in Peru, for what it’s worth, and did so on the cheap for a number of years. (I love Mexico, would love to be able to live there again, doubt it’ll ever be safe enough for me to feel comfortable again.)
Everywhere the Spaniards went had a city of gold RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. We have a local legend in Tucson of the CHURCH the Spaniards built in the Santa Catalina mountains, which is next to a gold mine sealed with an iron door. Neither have been discovered.

One of my former work colleagues has been hanging out in Mexico over the past few months. I asked her how it's going for her because a lot of people i know (including Mexican Americans) are terrified to visit. She says she's mostly stayed at Airbnbs in nicer parts of town and taken big buses between towns, avoiding the rural areas. I guess that's pretty much the best way to do it now, live like a middle class Mexican person. Not sure if it's all that cheap, though, or if it'd even be much fun.
