Uno de esos días
Hoy es uno de esos días en los que quienes nos mudamos aquí recordamos por qué.
El cielo es del azul más intenso, las pocas nubes son blancas, la temperatura es perfecta (no sabemos cuál es, pero es perfecta) y corre una ligera brisa.
Más temprano, colgamos una hamaca en la azotea y nos sentamos en ella unos minutos. Desde ese punto podemos mirar por encima de los techos de las demás casas de la cuadra hacia la distancia y sentir la brisa. Algunos de los gatos callejeros que viven en nuestra cuadra dormían plácidamente junto a las plantas, bajo el sol, algo que normalmente no pueden hacer porque hace demasiado calor. Y el perro andaba husmeando, simplemente contento.
Es solo uno de esos días.

Hola...I can only hope and pray for eternal days like that. I live in the state of Maine , it's April 29-th We will receive 2-4 inches of rain in 2-days. It's totally miserable, the sky is bleak, dark gray, 50-degrees out, I just worked 6-days and today is My day off. The temp will go down to 36-40 in My area, I live on a beautiful 40-square mile lake, the ice and snow just went out a couple eeks ago. Sometimes We go from late winters to cold wet Springs to fast quick Summers, a nice 2 and a half months of Fall, then We hibernate for 6-7 months again.... Life as I am fiding out is way too short, I was born like My parents and Their Parents were never expierienceing the beautiful bluest skies, the fiery sunsets, being outside just to relax and take the Yucatan to Me is Heaven, stress melts away I appreciate the littlelist joys of the beautiful colors of houses, flowers, the genuine smiles of Your gentle People, and just how Their mindset of life and love of family are what matters. People in the states are getting so bitter about everthing, Our government, politics, everyday the price of living cost more to get less, not just goods and services but the quality of life suffers, and this is all I want. We , My wife and I have 7-8 years to retire, My heart and soul left this Country 6 years ago When We first visited I knew this is where I want to be...I live a simple life and don't need alot of material things to survive. My internal living will come out as Yours did just sitting in a hammock ....Viva Mexico TIM Perry

We are experiencing days like this too. We have plenty of time to go exploring the state, but some days we just sit in the hammock and reflect on how good life feels here.
