Pura Vida

After months of hard work and planning, we are finally ready to begin our adventure! It is a bittersweet moment as we are sad to be leaving our family, friends, and co-workers but; the anticipation of lounging on the beach on the Sea of Cortez is enough to keep us going.
Many people have expressed some concern for our safety on our trip through Mexico and Central America. We are aware of the risks and these things have also been a concern of ours as well. However, Ozzie has put alot of thought in the design of our camper, as it is pretty much indestructible and very safe. We have bars on the windows, a very sturdy metal door, and a "mean" sounding dog.(He's not really, but he sounds mean and growls at stangers who approach us:)
I once read that an adventure was something you enjoyed after the fact. In the moment it sometimes can be scarey, exciting, and dangerous. However, what else is there in life if you don't take risks? What stories would we tell?

My good friend Kim gave this quote to me that I think speaks well to this.

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole exprierence it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure." ~Helen Keller


Off we go to expose ourselves to the elements of living! Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. You can e-mail Ozzie and I through lyndimay@yahoo.com We will be hopefully checking it weekly and updating our blog as much as possible as well.

Hasta luego,
Lyndi and Ozzie
