It is really sweet here in Lo De Marcos. It looks like we are going to be staying here for a couple of months. My life has changed in so many ways. And, in some ways it is still the same. I am still working, doing some distance energy healing and helping Owen when I can with some computer work.
It’s easy to forget what day it is! I sleep until whenever…I usually like to get up by 9:00..but there is no pressure there. My morning coffee is a wonderful thing listening to the ocean waves, as I come back on to the planet. Its a whole new way of thinking here in Mexico, and of course a new language to learn. Every Spanish word means only one thing. This is a good thing. And all of the vowels have only one sound. It’s fun to go into town and do the shopping and meeting the shop owners. Everyone is very friendly from their hearts. They go out of their way to help you, even if it’s not in their interest. It is also a great way for me to practice my Spanish.
No one here is in a hurry. A Mexican minute could mean a good 15 minutes or more!
Everyone like to siesta between 2 and 4 pm….Its really crazy, because come around 3:30 I have got to have a nap! I think that this may be empathic! Everybody’s doin it! It feels great! Siesta is a wonderful thing indeed.
Everyone is getting for Samana Santa, which is the week before Easter. Palappa’s are going up all along the beach, getting ready for BBQing tacos, carne and pez, adababo and pollo. yummo!
Here at La Paroda, they will have the traditional tacos, along with burgers and dogs. (hot dogs that is!) there are a lot of dogs on the beach, but you would not want to eat them…they look old and tough. But so do the cows! And, the meat is tough. We have cut down on the beef that’s for sure! The cows are skinny, and it looks like they are eating dirt. Seriously, I am not sure how they are surviving.
One of the worker guys caught a good size iguana yesterday. They let me hold it. I was scared that it would try to bite me! Owen got a good video of it. It was an amazing green on its belly.
Today, was another interesting day…got some work done, and went out to the beach to work out, and lay out! These young girls and one young boy (that was on the horses) came up with three horses that they were training to swim in the surf. I watched for a while. They asked me if I wanted to give it a try. Well, hell yes! OMG! I energetically connected with the mares heart first. She was sweet, and very well fed and taken care of. She felt happy. I managed to let them know I knew how to ride, and up I went.
You get the horse out in the waves…and wait until you can get out there a ways. Then a big one comes in, you turn the horse around at the last second, and you swim the horse in on the wave! Man, it was so much fun! My legs were so tired from trying to hold on…and finally I fell off…and the horse went in without me. Apparently they thought this was quite the hoot! One of the girls was lying on the sand laughing like crazy! All of them were….in fact, the fishermen had gathered around and were laughing too. I decided that this was a good thing, so I laughed with them. They did not want anything for letting me ride either. That was nice. What a blast!:) Owen was taking a nap at the time, but I did manage to get a video of the boy riding in the ocean..will try to get that in later. Another fun day at home in Lo De Marcos.
