last post before cuba. tulum

last post before cuba.

tulum turned out to be a very relaxing and enjoyable few days before heading off to cuba. one of the best moments was paddy and i, paddy is the scot who i hung around with a lot, both of us on the same wavelength a lot cept heīs down to drink a bit heavier, you know the scots, anyways it was pouring rain, buckets and buckets, so he and i ran out and jumped into the ocean. swimming in the rain is something iīve never really had the opportunity to do, in pools and lakes thereīs always the danger of lightning. anyways, we swam out, looking at the ocean horizon, this gunmetalish grey, then back at the shore. the palm trees were being pelted with rain, heavy like, to the point where we couldnīt lift out of the water cause the huge droplets were falling with such force, carried by the wind, that they stung like hell. it slackened and we ran up through the trees and right to the bar that wsa part of the cabanas we were staying at. quite a memorable moment i must say.
also got to hang out with eli and tal, two israelis, all the israeliīs iīve met have been superfun, and hearing them speak reminds me of my dad saying things in hebrew. i know for sure that i want to go to israel to learn hebrew someday, just not sure when.
now iīm in horrible cancun again with tamara and this other israeli the name of whom i canīt remember for the life of me. i head out tomorrow in the plane at 2, should be meeting steve my brothe around 5 at the casa particular. excited to see him, heīll be a different person in a way cause heīll be speaking the spanish. should be great.
good news for emily, her camera turned up in panchan, weīll be mailing it to you. we all hope your return to australia is commencing smoothly, from what your said about going to weddings and music festivals, it canīt be that bad.
i might drop back my tulum, but for certain iīll be in san cristibal by the 25thish, a week there (maybe more) for the countdown to new years, then maybe some work with villagers in chiapas, or else straight on to guatemala.
donīt even ask about the mythical free tickets, what a bunch of junk.
miss you all, oh yeah, NEVER COME TO CANCUN, itīs lousy.
