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 he´s 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 i´ve never really had the opportunity to do, in pools and lakes there´s 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 couldn´t 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 israeli´s i´ve 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 i´m in horrible cancun again with tamara and this other israeli the name of whom i can´t 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, he´ll be a different person in a way cause he´ll be speaking the spanish. should be great.
good news for emily, her camera turned up in panchan, we´ll 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 can´t be that bad.
i might drop back my tulum, but for certain i´ll 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.
don´t even ask about the mythical free tickets, what a bunch of junk.
miss you all, oh yeah, NEVER COME TO CANCUN, it´s lousy.
