I’m in Puerto Vallarta right now. We arrived this afternoon, but we booked it 6 weeks ago- well before the current cartel situation was even a consideration. We watched the situation as thoroughly as we could and decided to stick with our plans and I feel happy about that so far. It’s quiet here, more than usual, but still peaceful and lovely. We caught the sunset tonight after dinner.

It feels good to be away from the heart of the beast for a few weeks, even if the beast is still meddling here now. Peaceful beautiful people and culture, friendly faces everywhere, great food. Laying in bed in our apartment now listening to the cabaret next door winding down for the night. It feels good.

I’ve got a lot of work to do tomorrow and while I’m here this time. My goal is to write, move my body, dance, and be present while keeping forward momentum on the important things back home. Tomorrow I set up my local rig, my traveling altar with some grounding rituals, and get out to the beach at some point with a book to read.
