Sweet Tears
Sunshine through the raindrops falling.
Smiling though your heart's been crying.
Sunlight beaming through the shadows of the tears of your soul.
Through tempest winds and winter storms.
Still stained with tears bloody and scarred.
Your trudging on to the sun.
Whispering softly, "It's all done."
The soul would have no rainbow had no tears filled your eyes.
Falling raindrops colour the skies.
The diamonds of a broken heart are tears crystallised.
And sunlight sparkles in those teary eyes.
As storm clouds part and darkness fades.
Sunlight springs new life again.
Little flowers after the rain tell of beauty through the pain.
- David Angelo
You should listen to that song.
Smiling though your heart's been crying.
Sunlight beaming through the shadows of the tears of your soul.
Through tempest winds and winter storms.
Still stained with tears bloody and scarred.
Your trudging on to the sun.
Whispering softly, "It's all done."
The soul would have no rainbow had no tears filled your eyes.
Falling raindrops colour the skies.
The diamonds of a broken heart are tears crystallised.
And sunlight sparkles in those teary eyes.
As storm clouds part and darkness fades.
Sunlight springs new life again.
Little flowers after the rain tell of beauty through the pain.

One week in Mexico came and went. I spent about 4 years there so it's like home to me in many ways and even though I've been away for some time going back was as if no time at all had passed... at all. I was on a bit of an emotional roller coaster the first day and a half. Overwhelmed, happy, surprised, excited, relieved, sad, angry, drunk - hehe, no not quite. (listing off my emotions - hey I'm a pisces we're well acquainted - the order was accidental but is somewhat ironic too) Ask Mig and Angie, I was shaking when they came to get me from the airport and then it was tears pretty much on demand if too much went on. Kinda weird, never had that before. First few days I hung out in Tepoztotlan with the Luna's and 60 something other people (aha, the culprit!). Tacos, beer, cards, walks, mexican market, mailbu, going through old pictures, old memories.
This was somewhat of a significant visit for Migs and I. I haven't seen him since before this blog was created and we didn't have that closure, or just the forgiving and forgetting. I left almost all my stuff in Mexico and he held onto it for me, bless his soul that he didn't burn it all :P Danny and Luchi had given us two bottles of wine from their trip to Chile a few years back and we said we'd drink it on a special occasion. This visit was that occasion. Sitting on the floor, light sprinkling rain outside, a song by Snow Patrol came on - Run - and the two bottles of wine (hey they were tiny "two glass" bottles!) needed to be opened to toast to life, love and our future... as friends. We forgave, we cried, took turns toasting with each sip till it was done. It was sweet and sad, so many flashbacks of our adventures, the good times, the bad times... now only encased in our memories. The realization of something that once was being no more is sad, but one can't look in remorse over "if I only had". We'll keep pressing on to our futures and the new horizons before us. Mig, I'm thankful I still have you as a friend. I hope you find the best cake recipe ;)
Thursday, was off to the Zocalo for LUCHA LIBRE MASKS!!! (We're wearing them to the opening of Nacho Libre, so stay tuned) Had some AMAZING tacos, soaked in some Mexico City pollution and then off to Tasquena by metro to catch the bus to Cuernavaca. Even with the traffic it was a lovely drive. I love that particular drive, so picturesque and peaceful - tho I highly recommend taking the old road vs the highway. Arrived that evening at the breathtakingly beautiful property that is home to my dearest friends, Danny and Luchi (+ more) Relaxing in the pool, drinking on the roof, taking advantange of every photo op possible, searching for tacos (not the luckiest trio are we), cutting hair, being followed home by kittens, world cup, frapuccinos, spankings (j/k) and much more. I had so much fun and so much talking!!!! Felt nice, I don't get to have those long conversations about life - too busy I guess. I love you guys! Thanks for being you, for being there, for not forsaking me :)

My last day in Mexico
It's been one hell of a week. Seems like it's been way longer than that. They say time flies when you're having fun but I think so much happened in such a short space of time, every moment was accounted for. Sigh. Miss you all already. Here are some pics from my last day.

4am
no use teasing my body into thinking it will be getting any sleep.
it makes me nervous to travel having not spoken to anyone I am going to be staying with in 2 days.
oh well, as long as there are churros close by I am sure I will be fine.
wish me well on my flight....... you never can be too sure.
Adieu

This time tomorrow...
I'll be sipping margaritas, laying by the pool (with a local band of HOT Mariachis keeping me entertained) in the heart of Mexico...
ehehhee
Ok so not entirely accurate.
Number one, no such thing as hot Mariachis. Number two I'm really craving Pina Coladas and I'm not sure if the pool has yet been filled with water.
Other than that I have spoken only the truth.
SALUD!
Fear not! Pictures WILL follow.
just sumfing to see
