*ahem*
I'm back from Mexico now.

With a sunburn, and sudden cravings for: mouth-burning flavour, chicken, sunshine, hugs...more photo opportunities that one can imagine, the sound of spanish in my ears (and the beginnings of understanding), a drier climate, shorts, chilly showers...a killer exchange rate, bumpy bus rides and the thrill of picking bugs out of my oatmeal.

Yes. It was a good trip. And I believe...the beginnings of a new chapter in my life, the magnitude of which I cannot grasp or define.
