I’ve always liked PDA. I’m not a big fan of having over-the-top PDA myself (I don’t like making those kind of scenes) but I do like holding hands, a peck here and there, etc. And I don’t mind seeing others show affection either. Except when I’m feeling like the third wheel—then it’s awkward.
Here in Oaxaca, almost all the couples PDA. Morgan and I spent some time in the park today observing people. Older people, young people… Las novios were joined at the hip!! Constantly touching and kissing… and not just today either. Everywhere we’ve went while here there’s always at least una pareja making out. And not in any corners. In the open. With no shame.
I must admit I felt a tad lonely. But I like the love. I’d rather see public displays of affection than public displays of animosity or hostility any day. Maybe that’s something we need back in America. More affection. Which is different than lust.
I’m really becoming a sucker for kids….
Jacoby, Jarius, and Jahlil are the two-year-old triplets that steal the screen. Jacoby, the oldest, referred to as “Mr. Personality” by his parents, is the one who likes to shake his hair when it’s wet. He’s also the biggest of the boys. Jarius is sitting in the middle and is also the middle baby. Known for being the “bossy one”, Jarius is often telling his brothers just what to do. Jahlil is the smallest, youngest and unfortunately for his parents, the most fearless and of course a “climber”; he had his hair washed the most in Bath Time.
It’s apparent that the triplets love taking a bath. Mom, April says “At bath time, the triplets remind me of ducks the way they march up the stairs and run down the hall screaming “Bath! Bath!” My favorite part is watching them play together in the water. Sometimes they lay out as if they’re on the beach and splash with their feet. Sometimes they pretend to bathe each other and that’s just fun to watch. They have always loved taking a bath. I believe it’s because I’ve never rushed them in or out. I allow them to play and enjoy the water.”
The triplets are real CARA B Naturally customers and while their mom likes the product line for its all-natural, high quality, gentle ingredients and subtle sweet scents, it seems the boys are big fans of the bubbles!
Taking place in England the owners of the yard slowly kept adding sections to the contraption so when the squirrel learned one section and got the nuts, they’d add another section. It took over 2 weeks to get to the final product you see in the video.

It’s such a beautiful place to be!!!
Today we toured the city (photos to come eventually). Maybe it’s because I’m in a new country or maybe it’s because I’m pretty malleable but I’ve been stepping out of my comfort zone. I’m usually EXTREMELY time conscious. I wasn’t really preoccupied by the time today. I wasn’t impatient or in a rush to do anything. Which was nice. It was also nice not being glued to my phone. I’m used to constantly touching it: texting someone, tweeting, twatching, reading emails, surfing the web…. Hardly touched that bad boy today (probably because the service has been disconnected lol).
Something that’s really gotten me excited already: LA COMIDA!!! OMG!! Walking around, the smells drive me insane. I’m trying to practice self-control (I know I can go THROUGH some cash on food) but I also know that I’m trying to try as much as possible.
My goal by the end of this program is to gain more confidence in my Spanish. I also want to experience as much as possible. Outside of our classes, we have a lot of free time. And so many places offer lessons for the low. Ceramics and sculpting, instruments, dance…. I’m definitely going to find something. Which means I’ll be interacting with my teacher in Spanish.
La practica hace perfecto, verdad?
Over time
the limbs branch out,
away from the trunk that connects them.
Each branch follows
it’s own path of Sunlight,
produces it’s own Legacy of foliage.
Changing with the seasons,
growing up and out.
And in.
The roots delve deep
as the branches reach high,
keeping the tree anchored enough to support
The Climb.
[[Haven’t done a creative writing prompt in a while. I guess this is me getting back in shape. My inspiration comes from this weekend with mi familia.]]
Don’t feel overwhelmed.
As long as you’re working your hardest, nothing else matters.
