Summer Vacation

If you are one of those yelapa lovers who really, really want to experience a summer here, well, what can I say but what others told me; don't bother, it's too  hot and too humid and
bugy and the ocean gets grungy , a lot.  But i came anyway, i knew it wouldn't make a difference. And i stayed, but that was the whole point, but to come for a vacation, well, a week is plenty, better 4 days , and get out !
You'll hear the sound effects, frogs and crickets especially, and the alarming array of birds.
Listening to some of their calls and whistles makes me laugh out loud, to myself !
The rain of cource, if you are lucky there will be a storm with sheets and sheets of rain, and thunder smashing directly over your head, you can feel the earth shake under your feet, and lightening shows that are wonderous and glorious and frightening at the same time.
It all makes you laugh, eventually, from relief, amazement or shock !
Once you stop seeing the lighter, brighter side of it all, it would be hard to go on ....
soaking up the rain blowing in with the wind, wringing mops and towels and sweeping ,
and sweeping, and sweeping .... living with crabs, and mice, and insects ... in the house !
It could all get a little much, but 4 days would be perfect !
I am not complaining.  I am learning how to relax, how to pace myself, how to let go.
There is so much to be done, and so much i want to do, but no sane person would/could work in this heat, the humidity, so get in the hammock and read, sketch, listen.
The village is so quiet, a very different vibe, more time to meet and greet, even though everyone is on slow-right-down time, Yelapa Summer Time !
Today the ocean is clear and bright, more thunder and lightening last night but little rain to speak of.  Didn't cool us off much. 
It's hot everywhere i'm told, there's flooding, also fires and chaos going on and on ...
I will be leaving for Canada this week, so I won't post again until first Monday in Sept.

Enjoy and Be Happy this Summer everyone ... wear a hat in the sun !
