Another day in Antigua, Guatemala. The gringo-saturation of this town is getting to me. I think it's time to be moving on. But tomorrow should be exciting. A hike to an active volcano, Pucaya. Throwing things in live lava flows. And seeing what happens. Wish I had a camera to film the destruction.
New things in my life besides blogging: YouTube. I've realized all the music videos I loved so in Panama can be found with a simple YouTube search. I've currently been on a meringue binge, so it's a great joy to have all the meringue I'd ever need at my finger tips. I think I will keep up with Latin music in the U.S. I went from hating to tolerating to enjoying it. My slowest transition. But perhaps my deepest one. Latin Americans are so passionate and dramatic. Their music follows suit. We have much to learn from them. An image of joy in my head is the return to america and rolling through the streets of Charleston in my yeye camry with the windows down pounding meringue or salsa or tipico or ballenato and singing along, attracting stares.
Chilly and cloudy in Antigua. Nice quiet walks and moments in empty cathedrals. Insence and candles. And I send out an email to Mepkin Abbey, a third visit in December? I need time to process things and I cannot think of a better place.
