Living in Tamarindo
Wait You Have What in Your Shoe?
The other day I was riding my bike. I was hauling butt down this massive hill near my place. About 20 feet from the bottom I started patting myself on the back for not falling over the last 20 times I’ve ridden down it.
Wouldn’t you know it almost immediately my front tire it a rock and I went end over end. It would have been very funny if you were watching from the street. A couple cars stopped in the street and couple of people came over to check to see if I was ok.
I made out ok. I got some good road rash on my arm and bruised my shoulder. I picked myself up and headed off to my destination.
While a on a call with a friend of mine I felt something like a rock in my shoe. Made sense considering I just bit it about 20 minutes ago. Thinking nothing of it I took off my shoe to see what was in there. I did some digging and man was I surprised. I found a dead scorpion. I had smothered it with my foot. Thank God I was wearing some thick socks. I freaked out pretty good and my friend on the other line got a good laugh out of it. Below are some pictures of my new foot buddy.
Mmmm…Scor-peen…if you were Man Vs. Wild you would have eaten it for nourishment!
Patrick, looks and sounds like you are having an amazing time! What a great opportunity this is for you! Hope all is well!

Patrick,
Your a funny guy! Great blog! Sounds AMAZING – keeping it interesting and real. Sounds like your getting a real sense of awareness and perspective. Giving me a moment to live vicariously – living the DREAM and all! Watch out for those coconuts.
Peace
