Here are some pics of Huatulco, my four days as close to fake Mexico as I can get...for now! The top one is where I went snokeling, then it's me in the foreground at a lighthouse and Eliot, my friend's husband in the background.

Huatulco
Here are some pics of Huatulco, my four days as close to fake Mexico as I can get...for now! The top one is where I went snokeling, then it's me in the foreground at a lighthouse and Eliot, my friend's husband in the background.
Good Days and Bad Days!
Like everyone I have good days and bad days. Yesterday was a good day because I found an apartment that I loved because it is close to the areas that I know and it is clean and comes with a stove (a very rare occurence here)and it is just really nice.
Today would be a bad day because I am realizing that all the money I had managed to stock pile is going to be gone what with my need to furnish this new castle away from home. It's also a bad day due in part to the fact that I am freaking out over my new classes that I am going to teach since I am taking over for my co-worker who escaped to a better life in the United States. It's just a lot of work and stress that I have on top of everything else with moving and such. I want to go back to Huatulco where fake Mexico was rampant (yes I truly do want to live in fake Mexico...the option of eating later, the idea of having a fish bowl sized Long Island Iced Tea when you really need that extra pick-me-up, a shopping mall with my own gay hairdresser named René who is an artist...as opposed to the chair and Pablo the esthetician/barber who looks like he enjoys torturing people for pleasure).
It's funny how when things suddenly seem clear and you think you have finally figured out what you are doing, life throws you that curve ball. Some people say stick it out, others say leave if you're not happy and it's a really hard decision to make. There are those who value responsibility and there are those who value happiness. Me? I bounce between the two because I am not too sure what I want to do anymore and I hate this downer thing that I have been doing. But I must get back to work as I have a ton of classes to plan for.
