bloodredsuns and bright moons

whow and thanks Unity.

your words are touching me in a fine way. wish i
could be with you, spend a mystic night in tikal.
i like fullmoonlight. and i like tikal. and i like you.
that had to be unforgettable.

so, i'm spending mystic nights in mazunte. yes, i'm still here, since two
weeks. there's a nice youth hostel where i found work as a boy for everything.
well, not for everything. i can sleep and eat for free, save money and spend
another three month in this country.

yes, it seems that already three weeks has gone by since i left paradise san
pedro. i always remember this incredible breakfast at luna azul, the party
with the pizza and the time we should have spend together more. and, of
course, pan de banana!

maybe we can do that again, sometimes! i mean the time, we didn't spend..
i'll stay here for another week, the beaches and this landscape are
wonderfull. not as an post-card-picture like the carribean coast, but in its own
way full of beauty.

black rocks are sleeping in the silverblue pazific ocean, wild
and loud it smashes powerfull waves at the goldenbrown beach, white and
turquise they run around my feet. the sunset is always to get in an melancholic
mood, dolphins and orcas are passing by this place.

i understand well, how people arrive here and never go back anywhere. this
place keeps also a good portion of crazyness in the evening breeze.
you would like it. for sure.

what about your plans? are you going up north? tulum and playa del carman?
or belize? tell me about your meditation-experiences.

take care of you, my thoughts are with you. manuel

Hola Amigo

Hola Amigo
Como Estas? Estoy in Flores. I arrived here yesterday after 2 hideous days of travel from Roatan Island in Honduras.

Roatan was absolutely pristine and beautiful. It was a postcard with white sand beach, blue to blue ocean with coconut trees everywhere. It was expensive, but it was okay to be on a strict budget for awhile. I lived like a princess in San Pedro.

I am here in Flores because tonight is the full moon and I want to spend it at Tikal. So I will be catching a 2 pm shuttle to Tikal and I will camp there! I am hoping it will be safe and fun!

I just wanted to say to you, Manuel, that you are an incredible person. I have met a lot of people in my life, and especially on this trip in the past 2 months. I like most people, but it is not often that I meet a man whom I really respect and hold in high regard. You are a very gentle person, whose eyes are always twinkling. You appear to be comfortable with yourself, therefore you are not out to impress others, but instead you just hang out being yourself. It really was fantastic meeting a man such as yourself, because in a small way you have changed my persective of your half of the species.

I am just filling this email with compliments. Oh well, if I don't say them now...then when will I say them. And you definately deserve to know that you are a interesting person!

I hope that you are enjoying your 3 months and 3 weeks in Mexico!
Lots of luck and love your way!

Unity
