So so true..
I absolutely love my mornings! Starting a routine already each day. But I gotta tell ya. Waking up to the ocean breeze sunny skies and living in paradise will never get old lol! After my morning coffee, internet and ESPN I decided to take a walk in the opposite direction this time. It is clear that some things never change but a few have. Not sure why but there seems to be a lot more topless tourists this year. Dang THAT sucks lol! A popular restuarant burned down just a stones throw away from me. I wonder what kinda of fire response they have. Apparently not quick enough! I went by my old stomping grounds of Danny's Sports Bar. Different owners(again) but a few of the same employees who instantly remembered me lol! Karaoke on Wednesday nights still lives. Next door is the bakery where many local expats gather all day to snack, eat and get online with the free WiFi. I noticed construction has picked up a bit. More units being refurbished etc. And a few road projects. And several empty units last year seem occupied now. I got burnt a little yesterday and feeling it today. Need to watch
