Another Day in Paradise

Although my life is not exactly what I had plan, I can say this its nice to be in a place where the Sun shines after a fresh early morning rain, and you smell how it has cleaned the air and feel the warm wind blow.
Today we experienced one of many hard down pours of rainy season. It really came down, but it's not that cold it has cooled down tremendously though after the rain. Tonight it is cool, a little humid but very cool.
I made dinner for Rossy and girls.
I made something that Kathy made me in Spain. A salad of fresh pineapple, lettuce, tomato, avocado shrimp cooked in garlic olive oil, and finely chopped onions.
I made the dressing very similar to what Kathy had bought. I mixed mayo, Ketsup, white vinegar, a little sugar, and tiny bit of relish which I could not believe was in the fridge at Cafe De Mar. This is unheard of here?? so I was a really surprised and of course added it in!
All the girls took some of it and really like it. Since business is non exsistant we ate out front on the vip table. I do feel for Rossy, she is experiencing exactly what I was one year ago.

I am hoping that things change quickly around here for all of us.

It was a pretty productive day for me, I worked all day on the computer making up research lists. I hardly moved out of my chair the whole day but was still able to enjoy the nice weather after the rain. I was outside for some time as I am right now working on the computer.
Yesterday Sunday, I had gone on a lead that someone gave me for an apartment right on the beach. It was very far almost down to where I lived orginally when I came to Jaco. I knew I was at the right place when I saw a huge White man in a hammock lounging about with four big dogs barking . His old blue car sat near the house on the beach. I walked up slowly since the dogs were out, and asked about the Apartment. It was suppose to be for $300 a month on the beach one bedroom.
Again I was not there soon enough, about 15 minutes shy of getting it. Disapointed I walked right back out to the beach, laid out my surrong, and lied down for a while in the warm filtered sun.
I fell asleep and when I woke it was slightly sprinkling. I was so drowsy, I felt as if I was in a daze for more than a hour.
Walking through town I decided to eat a TCBY and treat myself to something good. When I sat down I looked around, the town was so quiet, so erie.. I just thought and wondered what will all these businesses do? Looking in the mall area where the TCBY is, almost all the businesses were closed, out of business. I slowly walked toward the store my other friend owns.

There I found Magaly, this young girl I know sitting and drinking beer in the front of the store. As if there was something to celebrate. Not my frame of mind at all, I changed my clothes got the computer and began working on this research. Listening all the while to them speaking Spanish about things that were un-important. Although at one point the conversation changed to how dead the town was and what will they do? Hmm? I though? What will we do?
I retired early last night laying in my little room, pondering the world, and how it has change in my lifetime, reliving some of my past. Wishing for a moment that I could change things not just for myself but for the betterment of others.

Keeping my thoughts in a positive way some how I want to make a difference in how other feel and live.
