This is the Last Day of my Vacation – oh, oh oh!
Yes, that title actually came to me today, accompanied by Sinead O’Connor’s voice, who would otherwise be singing “this is the last day of our acquaintance”. To try to end it with a bang would have been futile. How could I top the last 5 months?! So I slept late, ate salbutes, then sat under a palapa on the beach while a cool breeze blew. I napped, read one of the few English books I found on the posada’s shelves and woke from my nap to wander into town and buy the cool beverage that would accompany this evening’s rum. Hedonism? Maybe.
Tomorrow I’ll catch a ferry to chiquila, timed to meet the bus to cancun. It still seems a bit unreal. The waters-letson clan will pick me up at SFO and I can only hope this includes Sammy, my soon-to-be godson. By all accounts be is a real charmer. I left him when he was only weeks old – when babies are simply babies. now he’s his own little person. I was asked to be his godmother while on the road. despite my unorthodox credentials I do think about “God” a lot and amy and brian, whom I admire for their open-mindedness, reached out to me.
So now I think I’ll actually go have dinner at a restaurant. I better get a move on.
