glorous day

i am thankful for strangers that are not really strangers... we are all a cheek kiss and a hand shake away from a new friend.

collected a ton of information early in the day and then had a calm evening of sitting in the square, walking the streets, meeting new people and recognized by others. so much warmth in the air and in the people. the sweat is feeling normal and lovely. and the smells... once again, intoxicating!

the personal freedom here is exhilarating! dogs and kids playing where ever... people doing what they love with no one looking over there back. shoes? no shoes? men with out shirts? stray dogs? street signs? street vendors? street performers? it's just people doing their thing and letting others do theirs. NO FEAR!

later...
i just remembered my perfect moment of the day.
i was having dinner at the 'tequila bar' and getting ready to bite into my fish taco when the one of the owners was serving dinner to her daughter. she was a little one and was going to have to eat from a very high table since others were filled with customers. i said she could sit with me and she was such an adorable dinner companion. we talked about food, colors, numbers, barbie, the sun, moon and geckos. it was a realization of how a 3 year old can speak MUCH better spanish than myself. well... it's time learn! thanks azul, for a giggly fun dinner! - joshua, she reminded me of anna.

right now tieki at the raggae bar is singing 'welcome to jamrock'. rasta dreams await... it's a perfect way to fall asleep.
