Riviera Maya, Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico
February 8th, 2010

Parrots everywhere. Lots of Macaw's, too. A Macaw is gorgeous, but has the disposition of a Bronx bartender with an ingrown toenail.

Morning trek to beach. Warming the huevos and continuing to nurse the tequila teat. Speaking of teats, there were a huge number of Canadians (especially French Quebecites) whose teats had been cruelly kept from the sunlight during the winter and who subsequently let them loose to get sunburned to a bright pink hue. Looked painful, but the darlings seemed relieved to flap freely in the wind and sun.

Local beach near my room. Water was always warm. Air temp ranged from 22 to 28 C. although the humidity was consistently near 90%

Said hello to Sam the donkey every morning on my way out. Poor bastard never got out of his pen. C'est la vie.

Took the ferry to Cozumel for a day. Nice reef-encircled island. Very touristy, although I did visit their nature preserve.

A replica of a Mayan holy shrine. I am sure I am desecrating it somehow, but I am an ignorant fuck, so I beg forgiveness.

Entrance barkers were ruthless and endemic. Only stores I'd go into were the ones who let me the fuck alone.

Some kind of Madonna icon floating in a sea of agave leaves. I'm sure there's a serious fetish in that image somewhere.

Entrance to an underground river. Floated/swam down this one. Fish nibbled at my privates, and there were plenty of bats above.
