2007 - Adventure Writing

“Calm as a Hurricane’s Eye,” Road and Travel: Everything in Honduras is slow, slow as I’ve never experienced. Heat leaches muscle fiber, skeletal strength and all ambition. Coral sand grits under my bare feet, after the espadrilles unlace. Even the lightning pulses long and lazy on the ocean’s horizon. Tropical diving downshifts yet another gear, if such a thing is possible.
