Tomorrow I leave for an island off the Caribbean Coast. Punta Mona. It is a place of permaculture, sustainable and communal living. I am tiring of this hot sun and looking forward to go deeper into the rainforest. Be with more organic, down to earth people. As a friend said, not down to earth friendly but down to earth with the land.
I hear that the 3 week mark is a cornerstone for travelers. Either they get into the groove of things or they want to go home. Traveling in this developing country is not much of a hardship so I do not miss any of my usual amenities. However, the change of cities and people every few days leaves me feeling ungrounded, in a spot of internal unknowing. Smiles are a bit harder to come by and I feel guilty to not enjoy every moment.
So life when traveling is still life. Changing emotions and variable degrees of self-knowledge.
A special hello and hugs to family. My thoughts will be with you Easter weekend and for Henry and Asa's baptism.
I will not have internet access for the week I am on Punta Mona. A chance to be with my thoughts instead of checking in with others.
Sending Love!
Special hugs back to you Sammy. Enjoy your week of further unplugging. It started snowing like mad here. I am sure I speak for all Minnesotans today that we would love some hot rain. Of course, with that, comes mosquitoes, so perhaps I will mull over which is more desirable: warm/heat + Mosquitoes, or cold/snow in late April.
