Time is flying by ... this is my first post since Christmas !
High Season is in high gear !! But it's a cold winter, overcast and rainy weather, but the swimming is good, so I'm told !
Just be sure to time your swim to sunny breaks !
There has been more then one whale coming right into the bay as of late. One was very close in front of the house slapping its fin on the water, over and over again !
For a few moments I thought it may be in distress, but
it wasn't, to my relief .
I had to leave for school, but later I was told there was another whale behind, giving birth !!
No way to confirm that exactly, but wonderful to think of it !
Life, death aging .
Santos, who worked for Isabel 20 years plus at the time of her death, and continued working for a few years after, but then retired and promptly got sick and died within 2 years ! Dementia. And his son Mario,
who returned to PV from San Jose,California, in a stretcher and paraplegic, 3 or 4 years ago, died within a month of Santos passing .
Sisters and daughters and Ramona, Wife and Mother, had dedicated years to the care of these men, and now they are both gone. Bitter sweet release .
And the world keeps turning .
Small town living, life on a pin head, someone said .
So evident how everyone and everything is connected.
Especially with Mother Nature all around.
The moon and stars hang over my palm roof, as close as if my fingers could reconfigurate.
The sun moves over my shoulders in a way I don't remember from anywhere else I've ever been.
The month of June, the sun comes up through my toes .
Not so much anymore, only because I have curtains now to block the horrid security flood light on the beach, but still, the sun comes up betwèn my toes, I just have to open the curtains !
So many changes in Yelapa and it's hard for a small town to keep up, but ...
One new project come to Grand Opening, is the Yelapa Museum ! Located below the town basketball court, above the Hardware store. I have not yet been to visit,
but I must see and will report.
What I have seen, is the slate wall installed at the path entrance on hardware store side. 1000% improvement .
This is also the office of the Deligado, this election term,
Three years we have,Deligada, Feminine!
This is our representative to the County/Municipal Delegation of Tuitò. They who give money !! This is also , in my mind, a Sheriff sort of position, and it feels good, to me, to have a woman in the job. Right on, right on.
My focus now on mi escuelita English groups, and Yelapa School Project, and once a week teaching at Prepa.
I'm preparing for March 21st visit from representatives from Isa Mundo Foundation and GLYN; Global Leadership Youth Network, operating of Vaancouver BC
Please check in with Yelapa school project website or facebook page !
