“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”- Mark Twain

I can't rember what it was..

I had something awesome to write about last night. I completely forgot. I remember it being amazing and magical. Go figure.  I don't think it was about food. it might have been about the stars, though it was not a night of shooting stars, and the full moon is tonight, not last night. I am hoping to remember by writing right now. hmmm..we drank Flor de Cana, I do not think I would want to go home and write about rum. no, it wasn't about the 'reason for my current headache.' what else happened?? It wasn't about the new dream catchers I have been creating, or the rice noodles I scored on finding in the city that we had for dinner? Why am I always thinking about food? We listened to Reggae and had shots of jalapeno vodka- they were wicked strong...

Maybe it all was just-lovely- and I use that word because I see through obvious rose-colored-glasses- how the town looked in the evening. Lovely not as in pastels and flowers, but how simply happy and alive the little junction of 2 roads which we call "El Tunco" was. The little stands of food, the different kinds of music, the smells, the conversations, the people- families and groups of surfers, groups out for girls night-and the older men watching with smiles., and the fireflies- little fairies glimmering throughout this magical little town.  I can not remember the wild hair I was supposed to write about, but the view sitting on the sidewalk at a  pop up white plastic picnic table was perfect. Being where you are, being simply happy in your existence, that's beautiful.

Friday in another world

Woke up at 6:45 this morning after magical dreams of being a mermaid (not a joke). Boston and I sat at the bus stop for about 15 minutes before the bus came and took us to Zonte. Had some amazing coffee before yoga en Essencia Nativa with Alex.

Boston watched. After- had a mandarin juice and made my first dream catcher ever. Amazing.

Caught the bus home and a friend brought me bean soup and tortillas for lunch. Practiced Spanish with a friend online and took a lovey nap alongside Boston to French music.  About to make some coconut rice and am contemplating walking to sunset.... oh the woes of Neverland :)
