Today started out pretty splendid, once I woke. Breakfast on the beach, a wee swim in the ocean, and dawdling until the parade started (wish I could post pictures from here. later with those).
And then I went to the office to pull some cash from the safe and then I was headed up into the village to meet Aldo at the church.
Oh. It’s not like it sounds.
Aldo is the paragliding pilot and we were going to launch from the mountain; today I was all set to fly. But at the offic, Lucas said there was a rumour that my flight had been canceled … and the rumour was true.
I am incredibly bummed.
And now there is 750 pesos burning a hole in my pocket and an unopened bottle of tequila in my room. Hmmm.
But I just finished a shower (to wash off the anti-bug juice) and I painted my toenails bright pink, so I’ll wander off down the beach and see what’s there for me. (My playmates, Adam and Ron, left on the early boat, so I guess I’m on my own for dinner tonight … More on those adventures when I’ve more time to spend on line. Suffice to say, they inspired a painting.)
