I am lounging on the verandah in front of my cabin, looking out over one of two small bays that sandwich my resort. . Water in front of me, water behind, and a nice infinity pool that’s open 24 hours. That’s about right…

It is quiet here. The road from town to the resort comes to a dead end about half a kilometre from here, so it’s mostly local traffic, the odd delivery truck. I walked into town this morning…a tiny place called Saladan… and rented a bicycle for the next week, given that this is the first place in three months where I actually feel safe on the road…sorta…

There are few things on my agenda. I spent about three hours in the pool so far today, and I have a date with the ocean coming up. Otherwise, I am just going to breathe…
