Finally, on the road again!!!!!!!!!! :)
It feels awesome! :)
After riding out from Miami, I crossed the Alligator Alley area. I got to see lots of alligators, and they got to see me! :) I also got to see plenty of other cool animals, including dragonflies, butterflies, frogs (leaping!), a turtle, and more. Also, I came across scary signs like these:


Made it across Florida, to the Gulf coast! :)
Went through Naples, and carried on, now in Punta Gorda.
Good timing, now in a tropical storm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Here's my first map update in a while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I am riding from Miami through the northeastern USA. I have a heavy heart, as I really love Miami. However, I believe it is important enough for me to continue on now. I want to explore the people and places of that area of the planet, and now seems like a great opportunity.
Destinations include New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Boston, and lots more, up from Georgia and the Carolinas through New England. Lots more left to do!!!! :)
Please feel free to send me any thoughts, encouragement, or whatever else you believe would help! :)
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Soy Paisano - Banda Aguileña

Submitted by eagle on Mon, 05/30/2016 - 05:00

Para todos mis paisanos!!! :)
Les amo!!!!!!!!! :)

Cancion de banda tan nortena que es casi afuera del pais! :)

Letra:

Soy paisano

Mis tortillas, de harina no de maiz
No tengo en ningún lugar raíz
Y es casi mi primera vez en el país
Pero en mi corazón soy paisano

Así nomas!

Grito!

Cuando veo bailes, mi corazón canta
Cuando escucho banda, mis pies vuelan
Cuando como tacos, me siento en casa

Aunque canto con acento
Aunque escribo sin acento
Aunque es afuera mi nacimiento,
En mi corazón soy paisano

Gringo!
Gabacho!
Guëro!
Guëy!

Cuando veo bailes, mi corazón canta
Cuando escucho banda, mis pies vuelan
Cuando como tacos, me siento en casa

Aunque no manejo troca
Aunque no como huitlacoche
Aunque casi no puedo tomar pulque
En mi corazón soy paisano

Ay, compañero!
Campesino, andale!

Grito!

Rock & Roll & Banda!!!!!!!!!! :)

Little Miami!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Submitted by eagle on Tue, 05/24/2016 - 23:03

Today I went to a car shop where a hispanic mechanic welded together a few broken parts on my bike. We had a conversation in Spanglish, maybe the unofficial language of Miami?
I also went shopping in a Haitian neighborhood. I got shoes, and also had a chance to try a few Haitian foods like accra (a fritter made of malanga root), and fried plantains. There was a funny poster in the window of a shop, which showed little capsules about each of Haiti's political leaders. It seemed like around half died of an assassination, a coup, or in exile. A good chunk of the profiles weren't individuals but provisional ruling groups. Miami has a large Haitian population, many of whom fled political violence there. Now there are public signs, like on the buses, in English and Spanish and Haitian Creole (it took me a little while to figure out what the last language was). I've had conversations in French/Creole, although it's more of a stretch than when I converse in Spanish with many of the locals. The area I walked through had great plants, including mango trees (ataulfa/butter and the red/green ones), which produced loads of fresh and juicy fruits. There were also other fruits that I didn't recognize. Tropical fruits are so amazing! :)

Miami has many ethnic enclaves. There are also neighborhoods with lots of Russians, Colombians, Cubans, Jews, Northeastern Americans, French Canadians, and lots more. It's a big city, but fairly fun and easy to navigate. The people are somewhat self-involved, but very cool. And it's so utterly beautiful. And there are tons of beaches!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Miami has such a rich mix of gorgeous geography, diverse culture, commercial and civic activity, and so much more, it's a really wonderful city. Reminds me in some ways of a mix of Vancouver, San Diego, New Orleans, Mexico City, Guadalajara, and more. A unique place! :)
Miami is such a lovely city that I want to stay here a lot longer. However, with hurricane season approaching, my desire to do the northeastern US this summer, and more factors, I still think I'll keep riding soon…
Rock & Roll & Salsa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Advice for returning students at CodeWOW! :)

Submitted by eagle on Thu, 05/19/2016 - 17:22

You should compare prospective schools and your desires when returning

You can start by assessing where you are, and comparing it with where you want to get. For example, in answering the question "What schools should I be looking into?", you can start by drawing up a list of schools that you can go to. Which ones will accept you, which ones offer programs that interest you, which ones can you afford?

Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
