I’m on a major detox kick. While some people call Wasabi poison, I still try to think of it as medicine and a spicy condiment. But either way I’m ready to rid my body of any of it still hanging around.
Between teas, supplements and of course gin and tonics I’m cleaning out my system.
Today it was cloudy enough that I didn’t need my sun hat and sun shirt. I’m still being careful even in clouds.
I saw this soapy foam on the ground and for a very confused second thought it had snowed.
I also enjoyed this sign. It says slow children playing. From the picture I would think fashionable super models were throwing a ball around. Those are some fancy pants and shoes for playing children.
Now that I’m pretty much back to myself, we are trying to eat healthy. Today was chia overnight oats for breakfast, salad for lunch and lentil stew for dinner. It did NOT include these cookies.
The warnings in the lower right are for excessive sugar, excessive fat, and excess trans fat.
They have more warnings than a package of cigarettes.
This is a picture of an arepa which is what Samuel taught us to make last night. It looks weird but is really good. Samuel is Venezuelan and this is a popular food there.
It’s basically a dough patty made out of corn meal, fried, baked then stuffed with different fillings.
He’s shown us how to make several times and I almost have it down .
He would let me form them, tell me they were perfect, then remake them when I wasn’t looking.
Jeff had no arepa training so wasn’t allowed to make them.
I’m feeling really good. So close to being back to normal!
Its hard to believe since I have so much clothing on, but I am at the swimup bar.
This little kid and his brother had their own mini convertibles. When he drove by us at breakfast I waved. He nodded as if he was a 19 yr old cruising for chicks.
The ocean was great, no waves and warm. There was a steep beach and I knew getting out would be hard and funny. I asked Jeff to take pictures.
After several tries, a mouthful of water and a somersault in the waves, Jeff had to put the phone down and rescue me out of two feet of water. He beat the nice lifeguard who was also walking toward me ready to pull me out.
It was a great day. We’ll be sad to leave tomorrow but it will good because we are both burnt.
Today I walked to the park. I was going to stop at the store too but was so a bit tired for that. Tomorrow I will be out of nadir! Then every day I should be able to do a bit more.
