Been a week now, as me hammock sway, breeze blow and Monkey howl. Hot one this day, 94 en casa!
First example of crazy ways--on the way to our house one will pass a well pump house, thence a small house just past ours, then a larger one and finally up to Ranco Brovilla. Which is a fading away hotel/restaurant/rental house. By fading i mean the pool, empty and dry, pinto de gallo is breakfast and steak is supper. That's it! Well a santa claus lookin Hungarian has owned this stretch of land since, this now regraded Forest Service type road wuz an old rutted Ox wagon trail and no one wondered if Pacific Ridley Sea Turtle for breakfast, for all Costa Rica families, would affect Turtle population, long term? This mans name is Szabo and even after all his years here, no mercy is shown. A well pump is a well pump and two have been stolen in the past year. Ballsy huh! We have gladly paid $30/month for water, not anymore. Szabo wants $60/month. Talk about over a barrel w/o any lube. "What a bastard!", was my reaction and Marina says, "What are we gunna do dig a well?" So we chew on that topic for abit, then, Marina says, "Angie (Szabo's wife) said Szabo has stomach cancer." Well damn. That will knock a guy back a bit. So then me thoughts changed to "Oh, that poor bastard!" In some strange way you actually want to pay he and Angie $60/month.?
Besides that--a Honda 250 ATV is our only transport, pineapples are still my favourite, smoothies for breakfast, frisbee on the beach, Marina sleeps 10-12 hours daily and a wave at high tide turned some dull S.I. joint pain into, excrutiating, "Holy fuck i need to kneel down right fucking now!!!", pain. Wow! That was not the way to begin February, but it is what it is. For months this adventure held anticipation of feeding our bodies better and healing mine to a better position. That wave was similar to a dragon picking "the slayer" up w/ his tail and thwaping him down as a play toy. Well that's enough wincing.
Fried plantains, yummy-yummy-yummy
Member...waves and cancer will change ones course. Make yours "true", prior the change!
