Beauty that can heal a body and soul...

My heart is resting and my body is healing. My time here in Mexico has been wonderful so far. I arrived in Cancun on Tuesday and first thing we headed to the beach, I got a Margarita and we sat in the sand and watched the waves and just talked about all the things that he loves about his home. I knew at that moment that this trip would be everything that I needed it to be. After Wilbert took me out for an amazing Mexican dinner, we had his favorite (which is what he has had for dinner the every night that we have been here ... he he ... I guess if you know what you like and you have not been able to eat it for 2 years, you eat as much as you can!)It is a taco, but the meat is seasoned pork of a schwarma scewer. Then we went for a swim at the hotel ... my first time in a pool in months.
I have been putting off starting to swim because of fear. Fear that I couldn't, fear that I would not fully recover from what I chose to do to my body over the past months. I sometimes wonder if my cells cried ... did they wonder why I was doing this to them. Or did they understand, is the connection between our minds and our hearts and souls strong enough that my body knew why.
I loved people watching at the airport and found myself laughing out loud a couple times ... my favorite was the man in the bow tie ... men in bow ties are simply fabulous.
We headed off to Playa del Carmen early Wednesday ... and I am glad that is where Wilbert picked because I like it here much better than Cancun. The beaches are amazing, the color of the water is like my eyes when I cry ... and I have always thought that was my when my soul is transparent. The sand is wonderful, white and soft and of course ends up everywhere.
I was a little sick yesterday but luckily nothing that a little peptobismal didn't help. We spent the first day, all day, swimming, sleeping, and eating on the beach. It has been wonderful being here with Wilbert, fabulous food (that I would never know to order) just appears as we are laying bathing in the sun. I have been converted from the dirty tourist beer Corona to Sol ... tastes the same to me ... good. I have been swimming a lot in the ocean and it has felt so good. It has been raining all day ... and we decided to go for a swim in the downpour ... it was fabulous ... all you could see was rain splashing and playing in the ocean all around you. And it is so warm in the ocean ... I just floated and let the rain tickle my face ... and smiled to myself.
Yesterday we went to a Mayan theme park (for lack of a better descriptor) it is where you can swim with the dolphins but they were already sold out by the time we got there. A little late getting up as we were at the disco tech the night before dancing my little heart out ... salsa and hip hop ... what more could you want. Wilbert taught me how to dance to salsa and I taught him hip hop. His friend met us, a really sweet girl who Wilbert had to translate for. It is kind of frustrating to not just be able to talk to everyone ... as I like to do. I have found that I am not as eager to talk to people anyway though ... I am not really sure why ... might be because I am with Wilbert and learning about Mexico and his life here has been constant. I am trying to learn what Spanish I can ... but am finding my memory a problem.
We will head to his city Marida on Saturday and spend four days there. It will be fun to meet all of his friends and to just be in a home. Turned out that our hotel was right beside the disco tech and it also turned out that Wilbert snores like a chainsaw so sleeping has had to be caught on the beach ... tough eh!
So my loved ones ... I could not be safer and am having a wonderful time. The only thing you might need to worry about is me not coming back!
Running out of time so there will be no spell checking ... sorry Treesa!
