Yucatan 09

White sand sunrises, clear blue cenotes, pink flamingos, Mayan feasts -- and yes, they are worth the 90 mosquito bites I suffered.

If my last blog, from living in San Francisco, was called My Life is Not Full House, I guess this one should be My Life is Not Friends. Or Seinfeld. Or NYPD Blue, thank god. That would be weird. Anyway, I just moved to the Lower East Side, Manhattan. It costs me two arms an a leg every month and smells like puke ever weekend. But most days, I love it.

My Life is Not Full House: Notes from San Francisco
Jul 01, 2006 – Jun 10, 2008
OK, you know that San Francisco you see in the movies? Where people with questionable income live in cute little victorians and travel across the golden gate bridge constantly (Why are they going to Marin, anyways?)? And everything is clean? Yeah, that's not me. I live in the Mission where it's flat and dingy and full of burritos. It's fabulous. Anyway, this is a collection of stuff that happens in SF, as well as summary collections from my travels.
