i have fallen victim to one of the 7 deadly sins, which coincides with last night´s journal entry.
but this time, i succeeded in obtaining my ice cream pint...although it was hagan das, not ben and jerry´s, which makes quite a difference in my satisfaction level.
chunky monkey it was not.
i am guilty of gluttony.
i did finish my book today.
we went on the boat outside the port to a secluded area with no one around, perfect water, and scorching sun.
it was the type of place you´ll probably only see once in your life, complete with mountain goats tippy toeing on the rocks above.
it was the type of place where all you can think about is sharing that spot with someone you love, even if that´s just a family member or a good friend...but preferably the romantic kind.
and i was not with anyone i would say i ´love´...maybe josefa, but not in an intimate way of any kind.
i found myself oddly subdued as i watched the pristine coastline drift away in the sunset...
i should be feeling some incredible ecstasy of being in this surreal place...but i´m not.
i am not sad, just...i don´t know.
so, it figures, i´d grab a pint of ice cream and drown away my questions with eating and a book.
sometimes i talk way too much in this journal.
i fear that some people may be afraid of me after reading these journals for 3 months.
oh i didn´t mention yesterday that i will be flying to lisbon direct from palma next friday, 22 aug, exactly one month from when i return to the states (can you believe i´m only a month away!).
get this...the flight was only 60 euro!!! the ferry just to barcelona was 65!
the down side, i need to occupy myself here in mallorca for another week.
i was looking forward to moving on sooner and getting back on my own to explore the cities and sites.
i´m actually considering staying in a hostel here, regardless of my free bed at lisa´s, just to try and get social with some people my own age and just see something new.
do you ever drive around without sunglasses on, just so you can see the colors better, or have you noticed how wearing sunglasses takes away from the saturation of color in the objects around you?
sunglasses are basically good, to our advantage.
but they take us away, sometimes, from seeing the whole picture, in all its glory...
sure, we may be saved from those nasty uv rays, but is it worth giving up the colors and the clarity?
(don´t ask about this strange thing i just brought up...it was a random thought i had today.)
"cause we all have wings, but some of us don´t know why."
