Looking for Ruins


sept08dogs-003

Yesterday we went up to Seven Springs area to run the dogs. There’s a hill with a big communications tower atop, We went there. About halfway up the hill on a saddle we stopped, had a lunch, played with the dogs and looked around for some ruins. In that area we have found extensive ruins, some on maps and some not, but no such luck yesterday. Dave found a 1 inch piece of pottery with a black stripe across it, and I kept finding small pieces of a silicate mineral that was bubbled and crystal shaped. Like the inside of a thunder egg or vug already weathered out from the rock around it. I brought some of that home, but we always leave the pottery and such where we find it. It’s only polite, after all, it’s not our pottery.

Looking for ruins reminded me of Puerto Vallarta. Sounds like Ron and Megan are gearing up for another trip down there next spring. We want to go, too, it’s always fun. I thought I found a web site that details some ruins in that neighborhood, but I’m not sure I am remembering the right locale. Sure is interesting to travel south. I want do some Machu Picchu travel in Peru some day soon.
Been thinking about my decision to move the focus of my non-profit business to the U.S. and am losing my nerve.
The problem is, it takes so much more money to do anything here, and anyone who is a citizen has our good-old fall-back system to draw from. I mean, if I can pull myself up from ignorance and poverty to get an education, then anybody born and living here should be able to.
I might just go ahead with my Honduran plans and take a chance, it will be a couple of years before I am ready anyway, the rate I’m going. Things will be better by then.
In fact, I don’t seem to be able to work up much passion for the U.S. program as it is shaking out. I need the passion to keep me working.
So the e-commerce class with the web site and business plan is going to go ahead and be the Honduran thing. More passion is good.
