Snippits from a Fantastical Trip

Justine and Scott came to visit-here are a few little bits and blurbs from our truly amazing journey.

Nov. 6th
back on our own private island again and just like the first 2 times I came here, there is no one else here. The magical volcano watches over us; its top covered with clouds.

Obama wins! We watched as the polls closed from a bar/restaurant in granada, setting up camp with mojitos and cards.
Nov. 7th
We are now living in the trees with the monkeys, the butterflies and the birds. A decent hike through the jungle takes us to our treehouse dorm, complete with howler monkeys prowling outside our windows and a wire bridge leading to the yoga platform. I think I could always live in a tree.
From way up here the land looks calm
Nature becomes a peaceful psalm
My mind wanders to other days
Contemplating my moves and stays.
Nov. 9th
free concert in Leon-Perrozompopo and Fulanito de Tal-awesome chill and entertaining. Musica breaks language barriers. You do not need to understand everything that is being said to appreciate the beauty of it.
Nov 10th
Arrived at Surfing Turtle Lodge by speedboat and then by horse and carriage. We boated through the mangroves, making our docksite at a private farm where our horse and carriage awaited. The poor horse dragged us, our bags and our driver through the jungles of Leon until the jungle opened up to the beach!
Nov....something I have lost track of time

The night sky with all of its sparkling coolness fell down on us. We saw shooting stars over and over again, dipping in and out of the sky. Our toes warmed by the bonfire, our finger nails filling with sand; we watched as Jupiter shown bright for most of the night. The shooting stars turned into burning scratches across the sky, exploding at the end. The waves crash causing the plankton to activate its glowing-ness. As I splash the water over my body, as it drips down from my neck to my legs, the planktons glow. I become a shimmering specimen of the sea. Bits of sparkle get caught in my bathing suit and the moment lives on. It was a night of cosmic happenings.
