Smells Like Sunshine! Caye Caulker, Belize

9 years ago
http://monkeysthrowingfeces.blogspot.com/

I had to go to four Chinese Stores on Caulker here before I could find real butter. Thing is, didn't really mind. Picked up my laundry for the week washed and dried for $12 Belize. Bought potatoes, carrots, onions and garlic along with a quart of fresh squeezed papaya juice and I ain't gonna lie a bit of Belizean Rum, Mon. At laundry she doesn't have change for a $50 but I feel a little bit like an asshole for not thinking ahead and offering her a $50 dollar bill so no problem I say, "uno momento por favaor" and traipse a few blocks through paradise so I can buy some small item in the nearest Chinese Store and break the $50, see. I make a mental note to myself not being negative, cutting myself a ton of slack as I always do, "don't be an asshole ever again an offer that woman a fifty, man".


Got it! I agree amongst my self as I offer her $12Belize for my weeks laundry more than a fair deal and smells like sunshine cause of the line drying to boot. Maybe best to think of it here as not counting the hassles, count the little miracles. The latter takes the same energy as for former but I'm a lot happier with how it adds up, hehehe

What a trip, man, what a trip.

The smell of sunshine, I mean, is a real trippy thing for real wink emoticon
