I'm in Mexico City airport. The wifi works like a charm. Was speaking to Samir and he reminded me of the blog and writing.
Many things have happened since I've written.
My back and knee saga continued. It's not fully gone either. But magically doesn't show up on soft surfaces. Only roads long distance are not so comfortable.
I went for a long physio duration - like a month or so. Leading up to America trip.
I've been in US since 10 days or so. First NJ/NY with clients. Then Michigan for the board meeting. Both trips were quite productive. Even shadowed a patient procedure - which was something. Agnes her name was. 82 years old. Anyways.
I wanted to write "Words before flight" - I didn't. I forgot. But I was really excited to get the boarding passes in my hand. It adds a big reality to the whole thing - somehow. I've been collecting boarding passes since last year or so.
As soon as I landed in Mexico - I wondered how it would be, how the immigration and customs would be. How people would be. The immigration officers were very young and friendly. Customs was friendly too. Less lines. The whole process was a breeze.
I have a longish layover. I took a long layover for some reason. I think to spend time in Mexico. But I'm feeling sleepy and tired now. Lima, Peru is 6 hours flight. Long. It's like a red eye. Booking time, I didn't realize that the countries are on Central time - mathlab, I didn't even think about all that. Just booked.
Anyway. Now I just want to sleep.
Ann Arbor was nice. Very nice weather today morning. I stayed in an airbnb across Kellogg eye center. Argo park and nature trail was right next to it. So was the river. I went for a short walk this morning. It was fresh and nice.
I've just been very busy the last many days. One thing after another. Even less sleep.
Dr. M is coming to Cuzco on 13th. It's fun. He booked his tickets, I think on a whim. Like kinda desperate wanting to get out of everything quickly. I would've never thought he'd come. I told many people I was going. But this was unexpected.
When I shopped for trekking stuff and meds, I remembered my previous treks. people also. It'll be something new for me this time. I'm kinda on my own. Like may be the chadar trek.
I went to Detroit downtown yesterday after many many years. When I was in college or may be after when we were starting up -- may be 2004-05...I'd head out there. Because it was dangerous etc. It added an element of adventure. Now, the downtown is full of people. Alive. Safe even. I took an Amtrak - never did that before. And a bus - quite randomly. Saw one stopping and jumped into it.
Detroit art museum and area near Wayne State etc. looks very cool.
Anyways...so these are indeed words before flight to Peru. What do I feel? Nothing much. Sleepy. Slight body aches here and there. I'm happy I'm going. I've never been on this part of the planet. may be it'll help me know again and again how small my world is. That all I need to do is lift my head up, look up, peak out.
I've been using Google translate app - it's very good. I downloaded spanish one for offline use. So I simply type what I want to say and then memorize it and say it. Factura is bill or invoice! Haan that restaurant waiter took more money in dollars but I played along for some reason. Just.
