I thought Australia was great. The movie, not the country. I’m not sure why it didn’t do better in theaters. Perhaps I’ll find the country to be great soon! I enjoy being able to work on things in the evening and watch movies at the same time. I know I’m not quite as fast, but it is a nice change of pace. Today I surprisingly bumped into an old friend from Chemonics who is serving as the development advisor for one of the Provincial Reconstruction Teams. He really is enjoying it, and made the interesting comparison of his work to Peace Corps since it is always changing and he has so much access to people.
I’m a bit perplexed as to why 2 stories of stairs seems to make everyone breathe hard due to the elevation. Certainly, I'm not in the shape I used to be in. I understand the concept of limited oxygen in higher elevations, but if that is the case, why are people able to do cardio workouts and not be under any increased stress? I pushed hard on a bike yesterday for 45 min and was ok, and see people running for an hour, and yet those stairs coming up from the tunnel still manage to get the best of everyone!
Peace...
