wringing out my suit i wasn't sure if it was water pooling below or tears of joy as i packed my bags to leave the sweltering coast. though i daydreamed of lounging my days away on the beach, all i really wanted to do was hole up in the shade and study spanish flash cards in hopes that evening would bring some cooler temperatures. not so in zihuatanejo, but now that i am in san miguel de allende, where the sun going down marks a change from about 75F to about 40F, i am slowly going back to believing that i love the heat. today's spanish word of the day is alivio. relief.
the pictures above document the bus ride here from the beach. the sun set that night in a fury, bright orange and distorted by smog leaving all black broken only by the occasional customs caseta and tiny bright fires glowing from people's homes.
