Banners decorating the streets in Las Varas, Nayarit, Mexico
I've been flying under the wire for the past two weeks...we were busy in a really good holiday-kind-of-way with family while they were here with us. Dad and Ona flew back to Canada several days ago, with hopes of the worst of winter being over and the best of spring, not far away. (I think spring is being as illusive in British Columbia as it is in the rest of Canada this year) It was also difficult to get a sustainable internet connection where we were staying, which made the decision to leave the computer unopened a lot easier.
We're coming to the realization that our stay in Guayabitos is rapidly coming to an end. We still have another week here but it's gone shockingly fast. Thankfully, we still have 3 more weeks in Mexico but the last two will be away from the beach, in the mountains at San Miguel de Allende. At the beginning of my stay, I asked the question...'would a life time of this be heaven or would it drive me crazy". Even then, I felt I could tolerate a lot of this easy living, but after 5 weeks, I now KNOW that I could slip into 'less doing and more being" very easily. Maybe it's just my personality, or my age and stage in life, but I love the lack of structure and easy flow of life here!
And that lack of structure and easy flow looks like it's going to continue for awhile. Last week we sold our home! After 2 years of it being on and off the market, we are now home free! When we arrive home around mid March we'll be packing and arranging storage for our belongings.
What's the next step??
We're really not sure just yet, but we think it involves even more travel...maybe a home on wheels for awhile...discovering new places and spaces. Meeting new people. Eventually we'd like to build a new home...something smallish and cozy.
But not just yet.
