The Water Fall Printer

Comments

Hat tip to Cool Things for this video, which features a water fall in Canal City, a mall in Fukuoka, Japan (don’t you love the name?

I can imagine going to Japan to run an errand to the mall, getting mesmerized, and then waking up 30 years later if they have a lot of eye candy like this.

beyond mellow in Puerto Vallarta

Comments


As my second full day comes to a close in Puerto Vallarta I have to say I’m finally chillaxing at full strength.

At Blue Chairs rooftop bar it was a little cloudy so this picture shows the last dying embers of the Pacific sun setting.

I had a 60 minute deep tissue massage. The guy’s name was Angel & with such strong hands working out the kinks in my shoulders & calf muscles, his mama named him true.

The other bartender I thought of fondly — Gilberto — from last year remembered me tonight. We call each other tocayo.

So things here in Puerto Vallarta are beyond mellow. I’ve been photo walking on my tumblr account — http://gibsterific.tumblr.com/ on the spot as my living photo album of this trip.

The BlackBerry Curve is great internationally — Wi-Fi built-in for the T-Mobile model gives me free calls to the states when I’m in the hotel. The built-in camera with a liberal data plan while I’m here lets me post pictures as they happen.

With Utterz, I’d like to post more sound entries but paying for calls where the sounds are happening isn’t quite financially feasible. Yet.

By-the-way: I’m on margarita 11 as I type — but second one today.

Empty in Puerto Vallarta

Comments


Surprisingly empty around midday.

People seem to be buying other tourist crap here & like overblown rock anthems at places with two for one descuentas.

This elderly gent is a stranger to me & I couldn’t resist the juxtaposition.
