This is one of only two photos I took in Tulum, Mexico. These are my feet, in a hammock, on the porch of our beach front room at Nueva Vida de Ramiro, at dusk on the Caribbean Sea.
For five days, I turned off my iphone and detoxed from phone calls, gchat, twitter, facebook, e-mail, to do lists, gawker, the nytimes, youtube, and everything that wasn’t beach/book or guacamole.
In this blissed out, tan state, I decided that I was ready to apply to MFA programs.
