As Tom Petty said, “It’s good to be King, if just for a while. To be there in velvet (or blue fleece), yeah to give them a smile…”
Can’t say I have any aspirations to be King, but I did find this throne too irresistible to pass up. A regal easy chair in a straw covered corner lot adorned by a beautiful mural. One of the many beautiful murals in this wonderfully eclectic and mildly chaotic city. How ecclectic you ask? How Chaotic?? Well, for example, here’s a picture of the front door of our Airbnb…
I’ll admit, it can get a bit drafty at times, and it does feel a wee bit damp when it rains. Still, you really can’t beat the view and the price is right for an under-employed wayfairing vagabond like myself. Not to worry though, despite this humble abode I am making very good use of my time. In fact it took me less than a week to master this undoubtedly valuable skill…
And of course I don’t stay in all of the time. I’m frequently out and about. Seeing the sights, making new friends. Really I’ve found that my lack of knowing any Spanish at all whatsoever doesn’t present even the slightest impediment. Matter of fact on my second day here I made two very good friends and they’ve been loyal compadres ever since…
Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, it is paradise indeed. Every day it is a joy and a delight to be alive. Feel free to hit me up with questions, comments, or requests if there’s something you’d like to see. Until next time…
I love you. I’m so happy you’re doing this. I wish I had my youth back … brave, adventurous, untethered. I’m going to follow your journey closely because you never know … some day maybe I’ll be on your end. Until then, wring all you can out of each day. PS … your friends are adorable 👍🏻
Thanks Auntie M. Love you too!
