The days here are the polar opposite of all those glorious days of forest bathing in the mountains.

I had lunch at a recommended but strange – for several reasons – Mexican restaurant. I explored the pre-mentioned worlds, and now I’m back at the hotel very much appreciating online books.

Here are some photos for you.

Yes, it’s all fake.

Live all you can. It’s a mistake not to.
