Writes of Passage

By Parker Hsu. I’m posting it here in case FB doesn’t work while I’m in China.

Let me get back to travelling literature again. I discussed a little bit about travel gudebooks and travel authors in the previous 2 articles. The center piece of traveling is that how much discovery/ inspiration you might get from the places you have visited.

Xidi,hongcung villages are the places I fell in love dearly and the sweet memory just kept coming back to my mind from time to time. Why dont I record nice things happened before and leave more room for future nice things?

The following is taken from someone else blog, which I am quite impressed by its clarity of writing and accuate description of village characters. So, again, I take the liberty to collect it into my library and also share it within fb community.

Last day ..

Apoyo Lagoon day.

We woke up to it every day, and pictured it so much, physically and mentally.

A clean and lovely lake inside of the crater of Apoyo Volcano in Nicaragua (between the departments of Masaya and Granada).

Unfortunately, there isn’t a cable to glide down 🙂 .. so we went on wheels.

First stop at the Norome, the high end hotel (or hostel) in the area.

Kamijo San took us to his favored spot: a rocky area with springs. He encouraged DQ to buy.
He immediately went to work, digging the hole. We brought bagful eggs to cook .. well

We started the day early.
The Nica recycles the school buses fm the US, and they expand to include the usage of the roofs too. Pretty cool.
We first stopped at a gas station for fuels: coffee for humans and oil for the van. Unfortunately it’s too early. Then upon close inspection, even it opens, the coffee won’t be good …

Btw, I brought two kinds of coffees from the supermarket. Golfer tried Segovia
“Hmmm .. very good.”
So they’re good.
Phew
