Sunday, January 14: Off to Costa Rica

Well, after getting about an hour sleep and getting up at 3:45 AM we 

quickly had breakfast with cereal and some coffee and some super coffee. Least I had a super coffee. Next step was to call Uber to drive us to 30th St. That went

 smoothly. Got the 30th St. and the train showed up at time at 5 AM. Then we landed at Philly airport and had 2 1/2 hours to kill and we killed it all right. I 

left my charger in Philly so we talked this really cool tech lady at this tech place
 they sell sunglasses that are a camera, but I bought this thing that 

accepts USB and USUSB-C cord so she was really knowledgeable. It could charge more than one thing at a time. I managed to find a portable charger that worked

while I was Plus I managed to find a portable charger that worked home. I got to see the concert on the live stream was pretty cool. We flew into
Charlotte and it’s a pretty cool airport with a lot of sunshine. We 

went to potbelly sandwiches and really enjoyed that sandwich. We thought the 

Plane was going to be 20 minutes late. It ended up they 

were on time but we were almost late for the flight..  Hey there, we just lifted off from Charlotte to go to 

Costa Rica. It’s about 5 1/2 hour flight. Mary and I almost missed the 

flight from Charlotte. We were the last two to board after a family of 4. They are very efficient. They just looked at our passport waived it we went in really 

looking forward to this it’s gonna be 90° the whole time and we’re on the Pacific 

Oceanside at Playa Negra. Yes, and we arrived at Costa Rica and there’s a huge ass line to get through through customs

 and it will first immigration then customs. Made the show a passport proof

 of where you’re staying and proof of when you’re leaving and wasn’t 

clearly written to us about that, but I was able to whip out both of the things

 on my phone. What lady was hesitant to me and I just gave him my whole 

pile of emails that were sent over the last two months. She finally just got tired of me and waved me on. After that, we waited 

for about 40 minutes for our caravan shuttle bus caravan, whatever the 

hell it’s called and all of us from the flight got together we all managed to find each other with no problem and the line
 was long but it was very efficient we got to the place and had a quick orientation

 Oh yeah we checked into our cabana and they wanted our credit cards and I and we were thinking we paid for these rooms but they want to keep the credit cards so if we get shit 

you know they’ll have it and then we’ll just use the cash at the end to pay off the money so they told us about that our cabana was fine. It was one of the air condition ones with no bathroom. I thought I was gonna suck because it was gonna be hot as balls but it wasn’t very comfortable, and I was very  
 relieved and I think that’s what we did the first day we signed up for the sweat lodge and the ceremony. Tomorrow morning we have foundation yoga at seven the yoga class at eight and that’s that’s the story and we crashed around 8:45 PM because it was long ass day of traveling and my brain feels like you know I am floating at space but it was good and it was really cool to be nice. Tropical weather, as Philadelphia is set to get its first measurable snowfall, possibly tomorrow and tomorrow is Monday. This is my first overseas trip since the 90s I believe excluding Canada yes I’ve been to Canada bunch of times. Anyhow, that’s it.

Saturday, June 30: Off to DC for Protesting Trump

Well, we got up very early at 7 AM to get ready to drive down to suburban DC catch the metro. I had a bowl cereal and we then drove off with our food provisions 

 nd sunscreen since it’s going to be almost 100° outside. I stopped @ WAWA an I  got a coffee with a banana and she got two hard boiled eggs. We then arrived at the metro station and figured out the ticketing system and it would be eight dollars round-trip for each of us since each way was about $3.85 each way. Anyhow we arrived there. She noted that the parking lot was hardly pull it 

 ff as compared to the women’s march she went to which the parking 

 ot and packet. I had a feeling this is going to be a smaller

 protest. I found out later that they were expecting 50,000 people and 30,000 people and it showing up. So they were just about right considering they 
 nly had two

 we can organize and I think the women’s march and organized after 

 rump got elected in November and the women’s march was held January 21 the day after 

 inauguration Day. Anyhow, we used to Google maps to find 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. after getting off at one 

 articular stop. It was leaking hot outside. It was a good thing we had a supply

 water food and I put SPF 70 all over my head so I wouldn’t get burnt to a frosty crisp. I wish

 I had bought new sneakers before this because the ones I have on are pretty raggedy

 right now. Anyhow he was really hot and you’re wanting to Mark to 

 espect her and then we were thinking of going to the Trump Hotel and we considered leaving and then with all people marching and joined in on the March. We march back to the place

 we ended up having to do with chanting and I saw the door a lot of people. After
 that we  rain from Union Station. That station beautiful place I took a couple pictures of it. We arrive back
 at the park-and-ride and decided that it probably Would be best  she just drop me off at the train station right away rather than go back 
 to her place. 
 e on the way we did cited to listen to music other than listen to political shows to give her a ring to break. SoI found out she like Beatles and 

 e sang along with a hard days night Sergeant Pepper, Revolver @ Help before going 
to this delicious Middle Eastern Pl. in the middle of nowhere 

 ear new Ark Delaware. The food was absolutely delicious! She said she had been there 

 efore it’s a cheap they’re more if you lived closer to it. We really enjoy that dinner 

 t really hit the spot after a long day of protesting. Anyhow I came home thought about 

 oing to a meeting but charge my phone and decided I better

  just get some liquids and hit the hay. And that’s exactly what I did. I wouldn’t want to little rip off Brady stores and got 

 ll kinds of liquids it would taste good and he could for me. I do need to Mindy and

 food and crashed pretty good. It was a good day. I’m really looking

 forward to some more good days with her. Only time will tell of course! And what

 will become of our country once Trump gets his Supreme Court pick. I also took lots of movie 

 f the event today in Washington. I have so many pictures I took I can’t include: this  

blog posting but I do try to represent the that day I know well.
