Set up next to our camper is a teepee style tent that we use to shower in as well as keep our portable toilet. This morning, while I was using the facilities, I hear our camp neighbor, who is out for a morning swim, exclaim “starfish!” In that moment, I can’t help but laugh…at how much I love my life, how much I love this style of travel, how much I love Mexico in the winter.
We begin the day breaking in our new paddleboards. We see hundreds of starfish, two huge schools of fish, a few seals (not even 20’ away) and several sting rays. Is this real life?
Mark spends the rest of the day diving in to a long-awaited project. I start reading a new book, catch up on email, and, thanks to the wonder of Starlink, get to connect with four of my closest friends over a Zoom call.
Just before sunset Mark’s project is ready for a test run, or a maiden voyage of the most hilarious kind. He’s made us an electrically-powered paddleboard catamaran. Amidst the glow of golden hour we set out on a one-of-kind cruise around the bay. We look absolutely ridiculous and are simultaneously having a freakin’ blast.
What a hilariously wonderful little life we live.
Enjoy ! ! !
Big, exciting things are great, but “appreciation” can grow from some of the smallest things or moments!
So so true!
Now I really want to see more pics of Mark’s project! 😀
Ha, I don’t blame you, I should take more!
Oops reading this out of order. Just saw this. Think it’s so great the life styles you are living! You 2 are really enjoying life. So happy for both of you.
You take me on a little mini vacation every time I read your adventures.
