Day 4: slow day

Today was about no alarms. Less agendas.

Churches: I see them all over. I've seen them in other countries. They comes in different shapes and sizes. Someone's living room. A circle outside. A small room. An old grocery store. A small chapel. And even today. Themajestic castle like one. They captivate me. I visited this church today. A gothic style three story beauty. There were woman all over who would give anything to tell you all the facts they knew of this place. The murals, the chapels, the history. The stained glass that tells stories. This place was stunning.

Cupcakes: you've heard the show DC cupcakes. Who could come here and not try it? The sisters weren't in, but they know what they are doing down there. The irish Creme cupcake is top notch. I highly recommend it.

Battery: I think I work like a car battery. If I sit stagnant I become exhausted. I need a jump. Not physically only, but mentally, emotionally, spiritually. It's the end of the day and my heads got a lot going through it. Adventure does that to you. So I laced up my nikes and pounded away through these foreign city streets. It's the end of the day and most are inside at dinner. I'm not sure if you run. There's this moment now and then when everything feels good. Not just good, but perfect. Like this machine and you go with it and you run paces you haven't run in a while. You remember this is why you love this. Tonight was that night. I turned my last corner. That moon shines so bright and so big it was like a movie set. I smiled and stopped to try to capture it. Most people are bummed when the picture just won't capture it. I like when that happens though. When you know it was just a moment for you and whoever you were with. You can't share it quite the same. You can't describe the way the moon looked with those dim city lights. When i was in Costa rica you cant describe just how green that rainforest is. That little little moment is forced to be just yours and boy does My God feels so much like a romancer when this happens. The car battery. The more I use and work myself in these things that make me feel alive, the even more I feel alive. Tonight, I feel alive.
