Yucatan, Mexico

Sunrise over Yucatan


我來自風雪

正如候鳥 飛到

一個買來的季節

我打扮成春風

幸福是搖曳的棕櫚

冰點遠了 

雲霞燃燒得熾烈




Chichen Itza


 Mayan Liquor

不要以為瑪雅人是喝Tequila 的!他們有一種特別的蜂蜜酒,蜜蜂採集Xtabentun的花粉(類似牽牛花)所成的蜜,瑪雅人拿來釀酒,這種酒就叫Xtabentun。我買了一小瓶來嚐嚐味道。喝的時候以等量的Tequila 與Xtabentun混合,加一片綠檸檬。甜甜的,是好喝的飯後酒。加在咖啡裡也不錯。





像不像檳榔(Areca Catechu)?

"Did you hear Tiger changed his name to Cheetah? "


If you lol at this joke, then you have truly arrived.

(If you don't laugh, but you are doing the New York Times crossword puzzle, then you have also arrived, in a limo)
