Escape to Paradise, aka World Murder Capital [photos]

0

It's been eons since my last update, so here we go...

The latest news is my wife and I and 10 of our closest friends just returned from an unforgettable vacation to Honduras (also recently listed as having the highest murders per capita in the world). It was actually super chill. We spent the whole time on the islands of Roatan and Utila. And the only murdering done was of some lion fish (which I speared and made into fish tacos) and countless bottles of rum.

It was mostly a diving trip, getting in 20 dives in 3 weeks. And it's probably the best diving we've done! The reefs especially around Roatan are in excellent condition and teaming with life. We saw turtles, sea horses, eagle rays, dolphins, water snakes, loads of eels, a couple wrecks, and an endless variety of coral and fish. No whale sharks though, despite some high hopes.

It's so nice (and we feel so fortunate) to be able to get away from the winter dreariness for an escape to somewhere sunny and tropical. Now it's back to closely tracking the weather and the cherry blossoms and the opening dates for the local patios. Come on SUMMER! I'm certainly ready for some festivals and outdoor parties and lounging around the lake. The pinnacle for us will be returning to BURNING MAN this year. Awww yeah. Yes, we got tickets.

Poker-wise, it's business as usual. I'm splitting my time evenly between: coaching, playing and study. I'm playing 100NL - 400NL 6max on a super soft, smaller site. And coaching mostly 25NL - 100NL 6max.
I hope to do some 6-max quickie videos soon. I'm open to topic suggestions.

The photos are here (as CR has some bug with embedding photos right now):

Oh and I also just completed my first dance mix in over a year:
