A Quiet Day
I woke this morning to low cloud cover. There had been rain, that slowed to periodic drizzle. I have been waking up slowly the past few days, luxuriating in the absence of any need to be anywhere. It is totally outside my frame of reference, but there you go. I did some stretching and then went down for breakfast. I was a leisurely breakfast that included lots of fresh fruit, corn flakes, and café.
After breakfast, I went out to walk around. I took some pictures of part of the fort between the hotel and town. I walked into town and then along the boardwalk. There were very few people out. I went down to the broken shell beach. I saw a sign that said La Playa Conchería. The tide was out, so I went tide pooling. There were tiny little sea snails stuck to the rocks, slugs I saw yesterday and other forms of sea life. I also found even more sea glass than I did yesterday. Collecting sea glass is very meditative for me. It was the same when I was collecting nuts, bolts, and other objects while riding my bike. I guess focusing on looking for stuff is like counting breaths. 
After the beach I explored the rest of the fort walking all around the fort on the parapet. The place is massive! Inside the walls is a forest. It was a nice walk. I got back to my room a little after one which gave me time to shower before my massage. That was a special treat. It was so relaxing. When it was over, I had to take another shower when I got back to my room, because I was do covered in oil I thought I was going to slide out of my clothes. lol
Then I went down and had a café. The rest of my day was spent resting and reading. I don't do either well for long periods of time. I've eaten dinner and now I'm ready for sleep. Sweet drems.
