sleeping in the tropics

Well that wasn’t the best night’s sleep i ever had but its morning and it’s time to wake up. It wasn’t as bad as that night i spent in a termite infested hut on Kho Phanghan in Thailand (what a noisy hungry bunch of critters THEY are) but last night was a little rough nonetheless. Problem was it got cold in my circus tent in the night. A little cooler than pants, sweater, one sarong and one towel could protect me from. I started actually dreaming about blankets that i had brought but forgot to use and finally ended up pulling the bottom sheet up and burrito-ing myself up in it to preserve warmth. That worked well enough to doze into the morning but it was a little survival-esque for my taste. Tonight will be better.
Goals for today: Not to have a crappy massage, find a better home i can move into for the duration of my stay, have breakfast, visit Balanced View community (this is the revolutionary new moment to moment meditation and mindful awareness teachings that my mom and i came down here for last year) and... if all goes well, GO FOR A SWIM!!!
I could hear the waves all through the night which always takes a bit of getting used to, I find, the first night back sleeping by the sea. After that though, it’s “butter” and i wouldn’t trade it in for anything in the world.
It’s only 8 o’clock but i think i’ll get busy and have breakfast and get goin so that when my neighbours vacate their digs, i am available to move right in.
Pictures being posted will have to wait, due to my phone cord being left in Rishikesh, but i promise to get them up as soon as possible. Mom, you can just use you imagination. The hut i slept in last night was just like the one we had at Horizon last year but with a pink and yellow circus tent feel inside and the bathroom is a little bit of a step up from the last one. Haha. You are remembering now....
