  A MEMORY OF A HOUSE I LIVED AT IN OAXACA, MEXICO
  by miguel

  I TOOK THE LIBERTY TO LIVE IN ABJECT POVERTY WHEN i DIDN;T HAVE TO WHILE A YOUNGER MAN. I LIVED IN A PALAPA ON THE BEACH AND COOKED OVER A FIRE IN THE CORNER OF MY SAND FLOORED ROOM. I SLEPT IN A HAMMOCK AND ATE INDIGENOUS FOODS AND SMOOTHING FOR BREAKFAST EVERYDAY AND GOT SPIRITUAL RIGHT AFTER BREAKFAST. I SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THE HAMMOCK AND READ MANY LATIN AMERICAN POETS AND WROTE AND WROTE. I LOVED MY LIFE AND NEVER WOULD HAVE LEFT BUT FOR THE INFLUX OF TOURISTS THAT CONTINUED TO TRY AND BEFRIEND ME. I PREFERED THE MAYANS. I WAS AT PEACH AND LOVE MY LIFE. WOKE TO A LOVELY BREEZE AND BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GIRLS ASKING ME IF I CARED TO BUY FRESH STRAWBERRIES AND THEN FISH IN THE AFTERNOON. A LOVELY LIFE

  A View From My Room, Day 3
  by Barbara Brown

  We traveled south from Acapulco, actually west as the land curves westward. We turned off the main highway and found a lovely little beach, Playa Ventura. It was quite sleepy and accommodations were rustic at best but the beach was lovely!

  Xanadu
  by Sri Parker

  2008 pen on paper my little van gogh tribute, from the head, i was looking at a book of all his drawings, saw the thatch roofs, reminded me of my childhood. when i was a little kid, I lived in Belize. Huricane Kieth knocked down a palapa at the end of a dock at a resort called Xanadu on Ambergris Caye. For most of the summer it didn’t get repaired and my friends and I used it as a type of ultimate club house. you could crawl in through the hole and hang out inside, or you could climb on top and use the thing like a water slide.
