Continuing. There was a glitch there - we were running on generator power, and the cafe manager said we had to log off because the power came back on and he had to switch us from the generator to city power.
So - talking with other travelers over food and drink at a guest house in the evening. Great was to meet interesting people, and pick up hints on what to do and see, and where to stay when you get to wherever is next. Sometimes it works out well, that way, sometimes it is all people who want to be by themselves.
Last night I talked for a long time with a couple who have traveled really extensively. For the last four years they have been coming to India annually to buy things, mostly textiles, to take back and sell. They have about worked it out so they can support themselves and their travels this way. Their stories were great, and their ultimate plans are to live abroad somewhere they find idyllic, maybe buy some property, and export to their customer list in the US from there.
Of course, that gives me midnight thoughts about what might be possible from Guatemala or South America, as a means of supporting the travel that Myrna and I will undoubtedly want to have available to us. At the least, it makes for very good dreams and a kaleidoscope of ideas.
