A bit back, I wrote about living and blogging and how sometimes one has to choose – to blog or to live. This is one of those times. Living the life wins out.
But I know how I read blogs and if too long a period goes by with no posts, people stop checking in.
My favorite example of that is The Luck of Dennis St. Michel, Viscount Stokington-The Life, Times, and Misadventures of Dennis St. Michel, Viscount of Stokington, Soldier, Gambler, Diplomat, Scoundrel, Notorious Rakehell, and Lord of Menacing House, in his Own Words. It is very well written, funny and I highly recommend it. As far as I could tell it had a good following, but on The Yule, 2007, Dennis disappeared. People kept waiting, but the posts stopped in mid adventure. Now I only check in every now hoping he has returned, but alas, he has become ether(net.)
I am currently in Merida, in a nice cool room at the Dolores Alba Hotel, contemplating how to get caught up after five days on the road in the midst of a very strange and excellent adventure.
We left Oaxaca last Friday and have made our way through the cactus forests and mountains to the flat coastal plains of Tabasco and Campeche onto the huge calcium ledge that is the Yucatan. We have seen the major cities and lots of small villages. We have visited the major Mayan sites and some lesser knowns, too.

But today, I will slough through it and try not to enjoy the beautiful pool right below me too much.
To work.
