Culture shock

     We arrived in San Jose. The weather was beautiful, and the people were sweet. But I didn't realize how much of a shock it was going to be to my system to travel to a completely unknown part of the world. I've never been South of Florida. And also haven't travelled in almost two years since I arrived home from London. So I don't think I gave myself any room for adjusting to a new environment again. 

     Traveling is the only thing I think I am truly good at in this world. The planning and preparation and the traveling itself are things I live for. So to arrive in a foreign country and be completely side swiped by the culture, the noise, the hostel, and the drunken hostel roommate, is a little much for my system to handle at one time. 

     The only cure for that is to just move on. Go to the next stop along the way and hope it's a better fit for me. We go see some sloths today. If that doesn't cheer me up, I don't know what will.
