I brought with me the Shadowscapes tarot by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law. Today I drew my first card -- the seven of pentacles. How appropriate, rest after labour. In this deck the fruit looks like a strange tropical breadfruit. So, it is time to pause and access my Path. Knew that. The seven is not a card of endings, one stops to consider work well done in the knowledge that there is further work and learning ahead.

This morning I discovered that I have mislaid/lost my money pouch. All my cash ($350-400, probably, in dollars and colonnes. $50 in George's singles for tips.) I have my credit cards and visited an ATM for more Colonnes, but argh. I paid for my bar tab from it last night. I suppose I could have left it on e bar though the hotel staff haven't seen it.

So I got a taxi to the ATM and then he dropped me down at the beach. The crocs are perfect shoes for walking in the surf. I spent about a hour wandering and then sat at a picnic table in the shade and read _Santa Olivia_. I was approached by several tour operators asking me if I wanted to rent a boat. One named Adolfo was quite personable and if (a) I hadn't just lost all my money and (b) if I had been wearing a bathing suit I would have been very tempted to take a snorkeling trip. The water is very inviting.

So it is about 10am and they day is getting muy caliente. I am feeling a little headachy, so I may nap for awhile.
