Awake in the night listening to lectures, forgetting to adjust the time on my clock two hours ahead. After two hours laying there the truth clicks and I realize I could catch the sunrise.
I'm wide awake.
Headlamp on, blanket round my shoulders, it's cold and dark and quiet and the dogs are ruling the streets out there. Get on the mainway and get pedaling. I'm seeing shadow people just standing by, in the darkness next to my paved riding path. I am calm and unafraid and I greet them all. Their energy is felt, and I acknowledge them warmly, but it's still creepy when they appear there. So many ghosts. The beach is dark, the moon behind me is full. I stand at the water's edge and do hatha yoga, waiting for the sun. Headlights shine behind me and I bolt for the trees, always ready for trouble from humans. I sit in the brush for awhile, then walk, absorbing the sunrise completely alone. Quiet. Just don't want to be disturbed these days.

| Solo Sunrise! |

| Captivated by sand bubbles. I'm easy to please. |
 |
| Blue! Blue! Blue! |
That was the first entry. The day before this dawn I'd ridden to the Tulum ruins. It rained every day of the four I spent in Tulum. The rain was warm, not a big deal, but it made my clothes stink since they wouldn't dry out, and exploring was kind of annoying since everything was muddy and puddles were deeeeep. I hadn't slowed down to the local pace and wasn't yet used to being alone either. I remember still feeling... short of breath and in a hurry.
