Coconut water

I got a little homesick after Spanish class yesterday. I was tired and cranky from too much sun. My Spanish teacher recommended drinking coconut water to combat heat exhaustion. So, on my way home, I bought a coconut from a fruit stand on the beach. The seniorita hacked off both ends of the fruit with a machete and gave me a straw. I sipped the juice from the coconut all the way back to my hotel as I walked along the sand, and realized that I have the rest of my life to be at home.

Right now I happen to be in paradise.
