Headed Home…

Even in grand moments when the sun, the moon, the temperature, your sun-kissed skin, your accessories and the almost perfect lunch matches a very good Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand I find myself in a state of a mental ‘no man’s land’. I’m talking about sitting in the airport lounge in a foreign country (this time being – Guatemala – a country that I would love to explore at some point) and regrouping about where you came from and where you are headed…. Feeling a bit lost and rootless yet curious and hungry for more… But… I guess it comes with the territory…? And really – I’m not complaining. Just sharing thoughts on this …. yeah.. Well what day is today? I lost track of time while in Honduras. That lifestyle was so laid back you have no idea. And I had no phone reception. However, I know that I get into LAX very late tonight and Saturday is all about GTL and Sunday I was supposed to go to The Academy Awards, but now I booked a job that day. So my first days in LA are pretty much mapped out.

However, after having devoured a pretty good Chicken Caesar Salad here in Guatemala City where I’m spending some hours before I head home to LA I can get a little – if not sentimental – then grateful and happy about how many things I get to see and how many cultures, languages and people I get to know. Next time I fly down this way I want to be, if not fluent then almost fluent in Spanish.

One confession: I did not shop anything out in the islands. But here in there airports I splurged a little. I treated myself to my favorite fragrance Chanel Fraiche, the hydrating and firming face serum from La Prairie and 2 amazingly colorful scarves made out of Guatemalan wool…. How can a girl resist…? Just saying.

Anyways, Here are a couple of shots from a happy and ‘pink’ afternoon on Roatan, Honduras….
