Cabo Rojo
I have absolutely nothing of any real substance to post about right now. But while I was pondering how to advertise for a new muse, I went to the beach. I live on an island that's what we do when we need an escape from ... well you know, an escape from the lush vegetation. I went to Cabo Rojo. (you can read about Cabo Rojo by following the link). I'm still working on getting rid of this massive void in my heart but the sun and ocean did some good. I did take a few pictures for your viewing enjoyment.
Salt flats
More salt flats
One of the many things Cabo Rojo is known for is it's salt flats. In Fact "el Combate" beach is so named for the fights that took place among locals for possession of the salt flats. (salt was once worth a pretty penny)
El Combate Beach, it was this crowded all week.
Look at those crowds! There must be 10 people in the water.
My beach chair, where I sat pondering life, on the very crowded beach.
Nothing like bringing a 16 year old along when you ponder life. (my brother, Albert)
An even better thing to do when "pondering life" is to bring 3 sixteen year olds with you to the beach. See that look on my brothers face? He was really into the whole pondering thing.The beach was fun, I got a little sun burnt, I left with no answers to any of my life's questions but I escaped the sadness for a short while and that was worth it. (And my hives are almost gone, in case you were wondering).

You too? (Regarding the hives, I mean.) Don't know what's going on, but haven't been able to shake them this summer.
kofi, just another thing we share in common, or maybe it's a new epidemic.
I'm glad you have crowded beaches to distract you from the alone-ness feeling. Ha. Oh how I would love to sit in that chair right now.
Peace to you.
You realize showing pictures like that will get you no pity? The closest water to me is either from a faucet or the Harbor...I could throw a spot light in the Harbor and as soon as it goes under the light would die...I mean the actual light from the bulb. It would be strangled to death by the blackness.
That chair looks insanely inviting. I'd fear I'd never, ever come back from that beach.
Oh Es, the pictures are wonderful...now I have someplace to go in my mind while I battle this depression. Gracias!
so who's the girl and why is your brother leaning away from her?
I'd like to steal away to that beach right now
or
steal that beach and bring it here.
Not to worry about life's questions; they come when they come over time, usually when we're not asking. Having an escape is the wise plan and knowing when to use it.
Take care.
How much I need that chair and the beach at this time in my life--can I join you-promise not to talk-just to sit and ponder--doctor's orders.
Would you consider adopting me? I am much less trouble than a 16-year old and I can cook, too.
Those crowded beaches are what heaven is about for me. I'm glad the hives are finally going away (they're now visiting me, by the way) and while nothing will put an end to the sadness, at least you are sad in a very beautiful setting. Sometimes that really is as good as it gets.
Many besos y abrazos!
Hi there - pull up a chair and share what's going on...
You're in my thoughts.
just stopping by to say hi.
Nena estoy pensando ir a PR a ver "the folks" para el fin de semana de Columbus Day. No te me pierdas! Tu sabe que mami y papi viven en Caguas...son vecinos tuyos!
Hugs!
I'll just have you know that I saved you the disgustingness of one of the cigars I had bought you as a present. It was supposedly blueberry flavored, but what I they they did was wrap the outside coating in sugar. Man did I want to barf when I tried it fishing in Maine!!!!
Are you ok?
You are missed, Chica.
Thinking of you. Wondering how you are holding up these days? I know that grief is a bitch and wanted you to know that you are on my mind!
Hey, Es, how about a movie? Have you seen "Life as a House" with Kevin Kline?
