Huichol bead ring
smelling: right now…sea air, but on Wednesday it was orange blossoms. I stood under an orange tree and inhaled deeply, over and over again. Pure bliss! The essential oil for orange blossom is called neroli…in case you’re wondering what heaven smells like.
seeing: palm fronds waving in the wind, Mr I. tapping his toe as he listens to his iphone. Birds fliting from tree to tree, my feet propped up on a pillow with my computer on my lap. An orange, red, green, gold and black beaded ring that I bought this week from an Huichol indian woman. Very funky and I love it!
Huichol Indian children...doing what all kids love to do with a hammock
tasting: sugar coated almonds…I know, I know, what am I thinking?…I bought them at the market on Monday. The “nut man” boils them in sugar in a pot at his stall until it thickens and turns to candy. Yummmmmm.
hearing: birds fighting over a prime roosting spot, people laughing, very rapid Spanish being spoken and Mexican music floating on the breezes from the little tienda (corner store) across the road.
feeling: thirsty, from the sugared almonds and sore and a bit stiff from a massage I had this afternoon. I’m also feeling a good kind of tired, from walking for miles today under the hot Mexican sun.
Have a beautiful weekend my friends!
