A Huge Arrival
Our friend Galen, also known as Tangerine Huge, arrived recently from San Francisco. Nicole and I know Galen from our camp at Burning Man, the common theme between us all. It is amazing and exciting to have someone come visit us here, not only to share this world with someone I know but also to validate its greatness. Having such a momentous experience with no one to share it with is always...
A Momentous 24 Hours
While I was tempted to make the title of this post “The Perfect 24 Hours” or even “A Freakin’ Amazing Freakin’ 24 Hours,” I realize that it is better to let things be than to try to exaggerate for effect.

One of the best parts about living in Yelapa is that Puerto Vallarta is only a 40 minute boat ride away. You get the best of both worlds. I can spend my weekends partying it up in the open-air clubs and eating at the luscious taco stands of PV, and then decompress back in Yelapa with my waterfalls, naps and books. Yelapa is possibly the best vacation spot ever, because it is also easily...
Yelapa, Jalisco, MEXICO.
Reading the quote below from Bob Dylan’s “Chronicles: Volume One,” on my first day on the beach in Yelapa, was eye-opening. Not only because he talks about making it in New York, the city I just moved away from, but because his words held particular relevance to me. Because my life recently changed in a flash. I decided to move to Mexico, and boom! There I was in Meixco, two weeks later. Shock...
