Dawn with the ever changing light over the horizon, the promise of the day being spoken by birds, the breeze, the sound of the waves on the reef.
Hammocks and pulp fiction and the time for both at once.
People who say hello and look you in the eye.
Being called Miss Lady.
Warm salty seas.
Fireflies.
Butterflies.
Brilliant stars in night skies.
Hummingbirds feeding a foot away from the veranda chair.
Children who aren't afraid.
Elderly people who are cared for by three generations under one roof.
The national anthem.
The zoo.
The mountains and rivers and caves.
The Mayan Temples.
Oh...... did you mean to name just ONE favorite thing? Well maybe the dawn because it opens the day to all the rest.


(and nice people who come to visit and return over and over for all the right reasons)
