Today was very exhausting. I’m out of shape severely. Dropped 750 feet to the Caverns of Carlsbad…twice. Once in an elevator and once on foot. It’s truly amazing such a place exists on this earth, preserved enough from the destruction of man, that you can imagine what it looked like thousands and millions of years ago. Granted, mankind has been destructive enough to these caverns, but the majority of the beauty remains intact.

I’ll have the pics up on Flickr along with some video of our tour on this site after I get home. Traveling with family that doesn’t truly understand the whole Social Networking/Internet/Media thing makes things a little difficult to do run and gun editing.

I’m sitting in a hotel room in Carlsbad, NM.  I’ve been away from home for 24 hours.  I wish I was lifecasting but the lack of a decent civilized 3G or even 2.5G network along the way has made that impossible.  So I’m taking pictures which you can see (here and here).

I’m so glad to be out of the car.  I hope the bed is more comfortable than last night and that tomorrow is more interesting than today.  We’re scheduled to hit the caverns at 10 AM.  I don’t know what the day has for me after that.  I find myself lacking energy to move.  It’s vacation.  I want to rest, but the break from life at home is definitely appreciated.  I’ve been videoing as well but probably won’t have anything up until I get back or maybe tomorrow night.  I’m too tired to capture and then edit…especially with a comfortable looking bed so close.

Keep checking Flickr and Facebook if you have it.  I’ll get the podcast and the YouTube going in the next couple of days hopefully.

Catch you tomorrow.

Still no video updates.  I can´t find a spot to hook in.  I have to use preconnected computers that don´t have any of the software I need on them to upload stuff.

Anyway, it´s warm, muggy and rainy.  Tolerable.  I´m staying hydrated.  Blood pressure is way low though which concerns me.  Not sure why.  I´m not getting any sleep either due to sleeping conditions but I´m tough and I´ll survive.  It´s a good reminder of how good I have it back home.

The clinic workers treated 243 kids and adults yesterday which is insane.  We´re finishing up this morning with the sponsor kids and will open up to the general public this afternoon and tomorrow.

I´m working on video updates but may not be able to upload anything until I get back to el Estados Unidos.  Checking for an internet cafe after lunch.  More later

Hasta la nacho
