As I raced along Mexico's 15 towards Esperanza, Sonora, Mx. I just kept on thinking how good life really is; On Esperanza a good friend of mine, whom I have never actually meet, was waiting for me.

- I really like to go out there in the wild, if its a confluence in the middle of nowhere, that´s my kind of place.
- Don´t really like to take too much stuff, maybe a couple of tent cots and some basic...
I think that work wise i have it very nice, I can practically walk to my office and have lunch with my wife and kids everyday. :). However, every once in a while, there is a project far, far away from home.
