Holiday blues

Driving in a foreign country always makes me appreciate our well maintained Alberta roads. Most of the places you can stay in south central Costa Rica needs four wheel drive vehicles. The back roads usually have at least one stream you will have to cross. On a good day with no rain this is fun, but if you are in the rainy season one good down pour can send the stream overflowing its banks, Great adventure but I was sure glad I was just the passenger . Most of the time its like living a dream and a few days after I'm home I find it hard to believe it was real .
I must admit my ubbt training went to the dogs while I was away. Though the guilt of not training was ever present. Should have just done it. The reality cheek of attending my Monday morning class was enough to put everything back in perspective. I still have a lot of things to learn about keeping focused.

The appreciation for me is gone if the foreign country is the US. I love their highways!
I do remember Costa Rica as having the best view as most of their narrow roads are built on the hills and mountain tops as opposed to in Canada where we drive through the valley's and blow up the hills and mountains to make a through fare or less hilly highway... not sure why to be honest...

Never thought I would give so much though to roads...

... and I totally get the missing the UBBT requirements while on holidays... I am joining you in the misery of getting back to it... but I love it.. just the body sometimes procrastinates.
