Where exactly are you?
Someone asked me today via Facebook “where exactly are you?” My first thought was, I know I wrote everyone either on FB or a letter. People know where I am.... then I thought... some people I don't even know are following the Campo Blog on Facebook. After a moment to process, I just told them I am sitting on Lake Nicaragua. But then I started thinking about the question more. “Where exactly are you?” Spiritually, physically, emotionally? I didn't really know what she was talking about. I found out later that she meant location. So I wanted everyone to know that I am on Lake Nicaragua in the middle of the sugarcane fields. Life is nothing like the states! I wake up everyday looking at the breathtaking volcano with the sun rising in the back. The closest town to me that has a restaurant is Rivas and its about 20 minutes from Campo. There are not any fast food places until you get Managua which is about 2 hours from here. So if I am lucky I may get McDonald's when I make an airport trip with the teams! We also take teams to San Juan Del Sur located on the Pacific Ocean or Granada for their tourism day. However, I would like you to know that sure life is good here no doubt, God has blessed me in countless ways. But its still very difficult! Its hot all the time, my sleeping conditions are never the same, privacy is rare and I do not treat this like a vacation. I assure you all that I am working more hours than I ever did while in professional sports, and that's a lot of hours! So here I am, exactly, at Campo Alegria!
