A Boy With Kaleidoscope Eyes

As I look around Mexico, now going into my 3rd year, I still have to pinch myself to see if I am dreaming.  Everything here is so different from, what I consider, my previous life, or life back in Texas.

Oh sure Texas has its own charm, but Mexico far outshines it all.

I am reminded of the opening lyrics of The Beatles' song Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds:

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Don't pretend you just read that... I KNOW you sang it!

ANYWAY, sometimes I wonder if I am on a boat floating down that river... looking around with "kaleidoscope eyes".

For one thing life here is so vibrant... nothing is dull.

 

Don't tell me that is DULL.

Course you don't actually see that everyday, but that's part of the culture.

Now something I do see every day is nature.  And we all know that nature can outweigh anything made by hand. 

Like....

This little beauty makes one of my favorite drinks Agua de Jamaica. Its a Hibiscus flower.

But even in Markets its quite Dazzling.

 

So even in the mundane things Mexico is quite a kaleidoscope of colors.
