more of the same and different


maybe someone in higher places believes as a nurse i should understand what it is to be sick in all manner of places. latest health tip: avoid ellotes, street bought corn on the cob covered with mayonaise, chilli and cheese, unless asked by lonely planet to do a detailed review on hostel toilets!

beyond all that yesterday i moved beaches (its a hard life!) puerto escondido was fun ¿i guess? but there was still the classic tourist shops strip and so much was directed towards me, us, the tourists...not my cuppa tea really.

however... this morning i woke up in mazunte, i crawled out of my scummy little bunkbed, with torn mosquitoe net (which the mossys did take advantage of) and as i stand up i hear the sun calling me from behind a series of rocks in the ocean, the birds are calling back and apart from the crashing waves and few wandering dogs there is little other movement. the sky begins to scar and its not long before a ferrocious yet luminous pink sunrises over the rocks, flooding everything in its path with colour and shape. this truelly is a magnificent creature.
