So I met a couple Canadian girls on the bus to Xela yesterday. Actually what happened was they stored their luggage underneath the bus, then somewhere managed to miss the bus when it left the station. So I felt bad for them, and talked to the driver and attendant. They seemed mostly unconcerned, but then another passenger asked me what the problem was, and he had more success in convincing the driver to wait about a block or so away until the girls caught up. Anyways, we got to talking on the 5 hour bus drive back to Xela, and ended up hanging out today. We went to the Fuentes Georginas and soaked in the hot springs for awhile. It was a nice relaxing day after a long week.
Travelling is such a different world, it´s crazy how open people are and how people hook up and become friends. It´s out of necessity, but it´s nice being able to start a conversation with random people and feel like you actually get to know them. You meet people, and you´d think they new each other before the trip and came together, when they´ve actually just met the day before. People tend to be way more open and accepting, and I absolutely love hearing everyone´s view on random things, you learn so much and you meet people from all over the world. Some people are just way out there, but that too just makes for great stories.

I'm stealing portions of this post to use as an example of why I'm wanting to do youth hostel ministry. It is so true that the connections you make when traveling are so fast and strong compared to many other situations.
I don't think I've heard you mention youth hostel ministry before. Is Amsterdam out of the picture?
Amsterdam is where the youth hostel ministry is. I'm waiting to hear back from the organization in Amsterdam that I would be working at. If I get hired I'll be there for 10 months starting in September.
