Thursday, or Thereabouts - November 12, 2015

Take me Away!

I wanna get out of here. Oh I know it's been little more than two weeks since getting home from our last adventure. And I've only just recovered from 14 hours of jet lag, BUT a cesspool of naughty microbes has bubbled up inside me. Sneezing, wheezing, coughing; streaming, sputtering, choking.

Please, oh please take me away to some place warm and sunny by the sea.



It doesn't have to be for long; four or five days should do it. Idyllic days with wonderfully warm sand underfoot...


... salt water bubbling between toes


... a white sandy beach interrupted only with thatched roofed palapas strung with hammocks.



Some fruity drinks with exotic names like, Bahama Mama, Pina Colada, Mojito and one that I really could use right now, the Painkiller.


Surely such libations would do much to counter the uninvited pestilence that has invaded my respiratory system. All that vitamin C would do wonders, as would warm salt air breezes and spectacular sunsets.



It's a dreary, damp November day outside my door with high winds set to blast in a cold front.


Take me away!

Passport to Paradise




There may be ink in the fountain pen, but there's nothing flowing onto the page, save for half a dozen incomplete sentences scrambling to grab some energy and a few doodles just for decoration. I am not feeling the joy of writing today. It happens.








Well hang it all, let's go look at some flowers. I know you've seen many if not all of these before, but what's not to like about flowers?



Especially when the sky is blue, the sun is shining and it's MINUS 12°C outside (balmy compared to the -20 I woke up to this morning).


Now while you are off smelling the roses and basking in the tropical delights of paradise in pictures, I'm heading into the city to pick up my renewed passport.

Enjoy!

(It's 30C in Puerto Ayora today...)









aaaaahhhhhhhhhh
