New shores

I have been rightfully accused of erratically changing my whereabouts. To make a long story short, I have safely landed in IAH last Saturday. A turbulent trip with unexpected surprises on both ends of the continuum was followed by an equally eventful succession of my first few days in Houston.
Seeing old friends, new friends, my first ever baseball game, capoiera and live music, idyllic and scenic towns contrasting with the vibrant buoyancy of downtown cafes and bars. Last night’s sushi was better than I expected. I am still hoping to see some live jazz and the vague prospect of enjoying more musical superbities in New Orleans on the following weekend had presented itself briefly on the horizon…so we will see what popps up next.
I am still a bit off schedule, just woke up from a power nap, but things are starting to normalize slowly.
This morning I visited the production site of premium quality leather accessories for aviators and related professions recently launched and currently managed by my friend John. www.coyoteworks.net
I was impressed by what dedicated enterpreneurship and an inventive idea can spark. So if you are looking for classy binders, bags and the like let me know.;) (no, no, no hidden advertising by all means:P)

This trip has been full of surprises. Some good, some bad, and both equally adventurous. I guess one of the things that intrigues me about novelty is the challenge that comes with it. While you never know what you get yourself into when testing new grounds, exploring new places etc., the experience is always profoundly shaping. In my eyes the " real thing" will never live up to the second hand perspective as for instance displayed on TV etc.
Anyhow, without knowing what unexpected twists and turns will follow around the corner, I am excited at the prospect of exploring a new place, new people… and there shall be more to come…
