LOS CABOS
I made it a point to really get away on this vacation. I didn't use a computer for the entire week, which explains my absence on this blog. Only a couple of times did I catch bits and pieces of news when I shot quick glances at the tv sets hanging inside the resort's gym. I also didn't make a single cell phone call, relegating my phone to a mere pocket watch. And I silenced my iPod. Thankfully the band that played outdoors each night cranked out some good tunes, including quite a bit of Pink Floyd.
I came to realize that nixing electronic devices and staring out into the Pacific Ocean does the soul good. I also got to catch up on books. I haven't been reading all that much lately, so it was nice to turn some pages during this trip. I really admired the storytelling abilities of Khaled Hosseini ("A Thousand Splendid Suns") and James McBride ("The Color of Water"). And I also got halfway through C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity". In Los Cabos - ironically - I renewed my love for the English language.
