Testing post from iPod
Hello anyone. Just wanted to test the ability to post to my blog using my iTouch and the WordPress app.
Straight text seems fine. I wonder of I can post an image.
So Long Boston. Hello Norwalk.
Yesterday concluded our stay in Boston. It was sad to go. I had a blast at the Vocal Summit and met a lot of really cool people from all over the world, and the rest of the family got to see the entire city and experience it for what it is. I think we can say, and agree, that Boston is one of the coolest cities we’ve visited as a family. The atmosphere is great, and, even though its set up similar to New York, its enjoyable. We all had a wonderful stay there and I’m glad we get to visit up there more often thanks to Rebecca’s schooling.
Right after I was picked up from my last session at Berklee, we made the 3 hour drive to Connecticut. We’ve been here several times over since our family lives here, and we love it. Its a great town and being with family is, obviously, the best part. So far, its going really well. My grandparents fly in this morning and should be at the house soon, and its an awesome thing when we’re all together because we don’t do it so often. I guess that’s what makes it so enjoyable.
For now, though, breakfast is waiting (;
with much love,

San Francisco to Anaheim – fly thru
Hold on to your eyeballs because this was a wicked ride. Starting in SF we dared to cross the Golden (it’s really red) Gate (there are no gates… in neither end) Bridge (at least they got that part of the name right) which always seemed to linger in this massive fog that never went away. It looked like one of those creepy zombie movies… even in the day time. At night the creepy fog would literally roll into the city and obscure the entire landscape. Leaving SF we decided to go to Anaheim via the coast. We experienced an immense variety of scenery. From beautiful rapids between mountains to shear cliffs that dropped straight into the ocean. To the exquisite homes (and golf course) of Pebble Beach to “seaside” farm lands and vineyards. Oh! How about seals sunning themselves on the beach? So what did I come away with in this leg of our journey? That our Lord has a purpose for everything and everyone. Every tree, rock and lake is exactly where He intended it to be… and for us to enjoy. Sadly, we so often drive by and miss the tree whose branches are reaching up to the sky as if worshiping it’s very creator. We dismiss the fact that that giant funky boulder balancing itself on 6 other funky boulders is not an alien thing… It’s a God thing. He put them there for us to stand amazed at His creation.
This video goes out to our pastor and dear friend, Pedro. That through the work that Jesus has done through him, has taught us, shown us and inspired us to “live life to the full”.
Big In Texas
Day 02 of the trip!
Today has been a test of patience, endurance and stamina. Over 9 hours in the car, with very few stops, from Pensacola to Dallas. It went by smoothly. Then the last four hours crawled by. But we came out victorious! We finally arrived in Dallas at around 7pm CST (8pm EST). We’re an hour ahead, just like Pensacola. By tomorrow, we’ll be stopping in Albuquerque which constitutes for another hour that we jump. Its kinda cool how we keep gaining time as we near California.
So what’s in Dallas? A lot of trucks. Six lane highways. Its pretty cliché, but true: everything is big in Texas. But we decided to stay here in Dallas for one reason alone: The Krueger Family! This family and ours go way back. Marty and Connie and my parents have known each other since atleast 1986. As far as I’m concerned, that’s a long time. Their kids are awesome, and we all get along really well. They’re just one of those families that make you feel at home, no matter what. Even in Texas, a van full of Cubans feel at home with these people. We love them!
Tomorrow, we wake up to the Connie-tinental breakfast, and then head out for New Mexico. Its going to be a long trip, just like this one, especially since Texas happens to be… well, the size of Texas. Its a big state, and I can only imagine the change of landscape when we hit Arizona and New Mexico. We continue to look forward to California, but I’ll share the warning I’m constantly getting hit with: Its about the journey, not the destination. So sit back and enjoy the scenery. Hitchhiking is totally allowed.
much love,
