Worth the Wait: Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
Beach bumming in a small Caribbean beach town sounded like a perfect way to end our 6-month trip through Mexico and Central America. Or so we thought. The foul, fishy stench of rotten seaweed hit our nostrils as we stepped from the cramped bus and looked out at a rather depressing, empty, and underwhelming black sand beach. It was pouring with rain, and we had to quickly fish out our ponchos. We thought, this couldn’t be it, could it?

The anticipation and then the let down. So well done. 💖
This captures such a forlorn sentiment. To me it speaks of the very human feeling to sometimes feel too separate from nature, like maybe we're just something a little different from our environment. But I think this poem could say so many things. Gorgeous.
Such a sad ending.
Awww!! I was soaring through those first two lines and then you hit me with that last one. So well done!!!
