wow guys, just wow. today was absolutely amazing. I managed not to get sunburnt while incredibly fucked up and had (sadly because of all the beauty I was around) some of the best closed eye visuals I have ever had. water lapping on the shore in 1-3 feet of waveless water, the most incredible shades and colors of blue, green, teal, and purple, some of the BEST (and im like rory many times I have eaten more than 1mg) fractal patterning I have ever seen in my life with the waves, sand, the thatched roofing of the palapas, hanging out with my wife (also my sober babysitter, she doesn't partake) I couldn't have asked for anything better. after all the hard work I have put in this year- it sure fucking paid off. this is the second time I have tripped here, the first was my first time here 16 years ago (holy shit i just realized that was a long time ago). and this just crushes that first time beyond belief. after the sun went down we went downtown with my friends that live here to the local dias de los muertos festival and (i don't believe in god) but my god what a fucking incredible ass amazing day. i will add some "day of the dead" photos later to show you what i mean, but damn, just DAMN WHAT AN AMAZING DAY. I will update some more later if anyone is interested- but damn, all in all this was just amazing and I couldn't have dreamed up a better experience. I highly recommend any of you to do the same. so. . .thank you to my wife, honey i love you for taking care of me today and filling in the gaps when i couldn't get the words out, and thank you to mexico.
