How was your Halloween? Scare any kids or overdosed on sugar? I set up a blanket outside and was handing out candy. I have great neighbors and in the end a few of us sat on the lawn chatting and eating whatever candy that was left with some wine 🙂
Did some Halloween pics and videos too. I think SuperPuma might fit my ego pretty good 🙂
We had so much fun shooting this with Angel! This version of the Little Red Riding Hood might not be kid friendly, but I think it’s a damn good remake!
Just a little clip from it…
Have you guys seen the panties that Kim Kardashian launched for her brand Skims? The ones that look like they got pubes on them?
$32 and they are sold out and you can join the waiting list to try and get your hands on a pair! Well, since me and Angel are multitalented, we decided to make this a DIY project. I must say I think we did a pretty great job! What do you think? There’s limited space on here, so had to make it low resolution…
Angel thought they were so great so she took them for a walk!
More stuff that got shot, because there can always be more Puma in your life!
I can finally write that I’m doing better with my joint pain!!!! Feels amazing and I’m so relieved! I still feel a bit stiff in some movements, but I’m working on it. I found this new spa by me called Pause and I joined. It’s not a spa for beauty treatments, but more for your body’s wellbeing. They have contrast therapy which is what I’ve done 5 times this week. You go in the red light sauna and then cold plunge. It’s freezing!!!! So far I think I’ve only managed to stay put in that tub for like 8-10sec. Work in progress. I feel great after. I got an unlimited membership and that incudes IV drip, LED Light bed, cryotherapy and float pods. Hitting some of that next week 🙂
I think I’ll be starting slowly at the gym too next week. Been walking, stretching, yoga moves, and mobility exercises to wake my body up 🙂
I went to Costco to get Halloween candy. You know I’ve been wanting to get a smoker. Well, this guy was so passionate about smoking and BBQ’ing so I ended up finally buying one. I love that I can use it as a smoker and as a regular grill too. Putting it together today and hopefully putting it to use later too! Let me know if you have any tips for a novice smoker 🙂
The next day Angel came by, and she needed Halloween candy too, so off to Costco we went again. It’s like walking into IKEA, you never come out empty handed. Found this super soft furry comforter and obviously Hunter and I needed (wanted) that! We both agree it was totally worth it!!!!
On October 30th it was 3 years since I found Hunter, or Hunter found me, in Mexico! Love him so much 🙂
Picked up food from the Amish farm delivery and there was also a lunch with Angel. That I think pretty much covers what’s worth reporting from this week.
On Tuesday I roadtripped down to LA. Checked in with my LA family. Love Sandy and her family and feel right at home in their house.
Wednesday was a full day on set. Sandy was doing production planning & make-up at a huge house and I crashed the shoot 🙂 I know the crew, and since it was such a big house with large surrounding area, I was able to shoot some stuff too. And of course I took advantage of having Sandy do my make-up since when you get access to a pro, utilize it 🙂
My favorite was this barn they had, so had to dress the part. Save a horse, ride a cowgirl -Yeehaw…
Nick is part of the crew and when he has time he snaps pics and video of me. Known him for ages from when I first got into the adult business in LA. We discussed if we we’re getting too old for this? But decided naaah, we’ll probably still be doing the same smut in 10 years hahhaaa…
Didn’t get home until late at night, but a great day all together 🙂
On Thursday I had the appointment with the the rheumatologist. Told him my story and everything I’ve tried. I told him that I’m pretty sure of my diagnosis with the help of AI and Reddit, but wouldn’t tell him when he asked. Said that if he came to the same conclusion, I would just be my own doctor in the future 😉 This Dr actually did a proper examination, bending and lifting my arms and legs. After some questions he said he was pretty sure I have ‘Polymyalgia Rheumatica’, PMR as short. Exactly what AI told me. Got prescribed Prednisone. From what I’ve read, people with PMR have gotten pretty fast relief. I have less pain now and I hope it will keep improving 🙂 Feel very relieved to have a diagnosis and going to work on getting back to exercising and boosting my immune systen!
Celebrated by going out eating with Sandy’s kids.
Love waking up and getting morning kisses from Snoopy, even though they are a little bit too sloppy for my taste hahhaaa…
They have an orange cat too named Simba. It’s more the size of a midsized dog! Hunter would look like a kitten next to him. He is a very chill cat!
Thursday morning we had some time to run some errands. When we were driving I saw this store named Kändi. I saw it on Instagram a couple of weeks ago and got so excited because I thought it was located in Vegas. It’s a candy store with Swedish candy, so Sandy had to make a quick u-turn so I could go in and get my sweet fix! I mostly go for the salty licorice because that’s impossible to find here in the US. Made my morning!
Shopped some make-up and ran into these cool dogs 🙂 Apparently the 2nd one was an influencer dog with his own Instagram account his proud human told me 🙂
Then it was finally time for my appointment with the rheumatologist. I told him that I’ve researched my symptoms and ran my bloodwork through AI and Dr. Puma has a diagnosis. He asked what the previous rheumatologist diagnosed me with, and what AI told me. Said that I won’t tell him since I want to see what he comes up with. This Dr. actually did a proper examination bending and lifting my arms and legs. After questioning me and looking through the bloodwork he said he believes me to have Polymyalgia Rheumatica. PMR for short. Same thing that AI told me. So don’t hesitate to contact Dr Puma in the future hahhaaaa… I got prescribed Prednisone. Now going to work on boosting my immune system and start moving more. The pain is better, but I was told it might take a few days or up to 2 weeks before I feel the full effect of it. Fingers crossed! I feel very happy and relieved that I have a diagnoses now and that my future post will be about me being pain free!
Felt that this needed some celebration, so we went to dinner with Sandy’s kids. I like my food spicy, but I might of overdone it since it required a couple of bathroom visits at night LOL… #tmi
Until next time LA. Hunter was happy I was back per usual.
Went to support some pickleball players from the gym this weekend who played in a tournament close by. Can’t wait until I can play again!
Also went to the Red Rocks again to catch some sun and fresh air. Came across this hole that looks like nature made it’s own flower pot 🙂
And an evening walk… This couple was walking their cool ass cat that walked on a leash like he was a dog. Look at those eyes! Also finally befriended this neighborhood cat that I’ve seen and tried to approach several times without success. He finally caved to my attempts! And a pic of my Hungarian goulash that was delicious!
Are you planning something for Halloween? I think I will just sit outside my place and hand out candy to the kids like last year. Our street was very popular because the neighbor across the street has an awesome display on his garage that everyone came to see.
Now going to edit some Halloween content, then a walk and starting a short yoga routine with some strengthening exercises with a band. Slowly, but surely, I hope to be back in the gym soon!
Had a great trip to Austin! I’ve been there a long time ago for work and didn’t really get to see much of the city. I really enjoyed it even though the city felt like a Finnish sauna at times 🙂
Short flight and checked into Carpenter Hotel. Cute hotel…
One of the good things about the hotel was that it had a great coffee shop downstairs! My day doesn’t take off without having a coffee first! Met this cute dog there too…
I have a couple that I’ve known for a long time that moved there about 4 months ago. Nothing better than knowing locals who already tried out spots and then just guide you around to the best places. We went around on those electric scooters and I love how much water and greenery there is in town…
Being in Texas meant that there were a lot of cowboy boot stores. We stopped at Allens Boots that has been around almost 50 years. Obviously had to get a pair and roll like a local 🙂
I’ll show you the pair I got shortly 🙂 It’s always a plus when the place you visit has an abundance of great coffee places. One of the places is Maaribu Cafe + Gift. Great coffee, cute little gift shop inside and we enjoyed our coffees in their quiet backyard…
You can’t go to Texas without having BBQ. Terry Black’s Barbecue hit the spot! Delicious meats! Ate like an elephant! I just assume they eat more than a horse…
A quick stop at the hotel to grab my bikini and we went to Barton Springs Pool. The water comes from Barton Springs and it’s super refreshing in the heat. Packed with people though…
There was this tree in the park outside and someone said it’s called the Monkey Tree and people do acid under it. Hmm, might have to check if that’s true next time 🙂
Had to try the hotel pool too to cool down after getting back. Wish I could’ve spent more time there because it was very relaxing later on the day when there was not that many people there.
I think I looked pretty damn cool in my bikini matching it with my new boots!
A quick shower and then it was time for the main event of the trip – the Phish concert! Made a pit stop at the Cosmic Bar on the way.
We were right by the concert riding our electric scooters when my hat is blowing off. Don’t think go to grab it with one hand. Get off balance, wobble and crash right in to the pavement! Felt like it went in slow motion and though I must be bleeding all over my face, Was bleeding by my right eye and thought the scar from the eye surgery had ripped open. My friends checked me and no bigger damages than some scratches. Lesson learned, both hands on the handlebar 🙂
No time to waste, so cleaned up in the bathroom, popped some mushrooms and Phish started! They went off and it was magical! People were ecstatic and it was intense at times. So good though!!! My friend has been to over 100 of their concerts. I saw them in Vegas like 6 years ago on psychedelics, and it was awesome then too!
I finally got to get a ride in a Waymo when heading back to the hotel! Very cool! But why waste space on a drivers seat when they’re self driving???
Got a burger and a chocolate milkshake from P. Terry’s right outside the hotel too 🙂 Got a bit hungry 🙂
At 1.30am Hunter’s sitter calls and says Hunter has had a little accident. Immediately thinking he’s been run over by a car. Yup, I can be a bit dramatic at times… Turns out he had jumped on the kitchen counter and got one of the fly traps stuck on his fur. Running around in panic so it got stuck more. Luckily the sitter is very cool and was able to clean him up good and all was good! But went on Amazon and order fur cleaning products to be delivered the next day just in case… A bit intense when coming off the mushrooms, but was finally able to sleep hahhaaa…
A bit bruised up the next morning from my attempt to hug the pavement…
After a coffee at the hotel, the next stop was Merit Coffee. Sooo goood!
Then Brown’s Bar-B-que for lunch. It was a food truck and didn’t disappoint!
Cross the street was this cool looking gift shop so had to check it out. The coolest thing in there was the store cat 🙂
There can never be too much caffeine, so also tried Proud Mary Coffee. Merit was the best coffee spot that I tried if I had to rate them!
A little stop on the way to check out a trail. Realized after 11 minutes it was way too hot to attempt even a lazy stroll…
I had to keep eating and TexMex food is another undoubtedly great option here. Veracruz had an incredible Mezcalita and probably the best chicken quesadillas I ever had!
My friends have a little toddler so we checked out some ducks and turtles in the next door park. It’s fascinating how many parks they have in town!
Something that hit me while visiting was that people are very friendly everywhere. You can walk, scooter and bike, (and some hardcore folks were even running in the middle of the day) everywhere. They really seem to make an effort in decorating and making places nice with cool designs. The Uber driver that took me to the airport said that they even support street art/graffiti if it’s nicely done. I’m pretty sure I will go back to Austin 🙂 I mean, I got my cool ass boots now!
Got home and Hunter had survived his fly trap trauma. Now lying next to me like the good semi-little boy that he is 🙂
Plan to start yoga next week. Can also start lifting weights now after the eye surgery. Not sure my shoulder will be in shape for that though. Seeing Tony next week too so really hope he can fix it because then he goes on a 1 month long vacation 🙁 Other than that I will be shooting, got friends coming into town, Angel is back in town, and 4th of July is coming up… You got plans?
Oh, I got so into the BBQ that I want to get a smoker. Anyone here a big BBQ’er that can give any tips on one?
Wishing you a superb upcoming week and Happy 4th!!!
OK, I’m going to attempt to talk about my week in Jamaica. A short summary would be – amazing, magical, fun, and when can I go back?
But here’s the longer version in case someone else is interested in trying a psilocybin retreat.
Before going I filled out an intake form. Questions like: ‘Are you on any medication? Any trauma in my life? Expectations?’ Etc… I personally haven’t experienced any big trauma in my life. I always trust the medicine (in this case psilocybin) to take my awareness to where it needs to go… I had a Zoom call with the facilitator Evelyn, where I could ask questions and talk about any concerns I might have.
On Friday the 26th it was finally time to fly to Jamaica. Uber picked me up at 3am. Flight to Miami and then connecting to Montego Bay landing around 1.30pm. Long line in customs. I got picked up by Troy who runs Mycelia Retreat and Chuck, another guy participating.
We stopped and ate some jerk pork on the way. Soo tasty!
It was about a 2 hour ride from the airport to Osho Rios. We checked in at Sago Palm. We then went to the hotel Sand & Tan, what they called the ‘Sister Retreat’. Justin, another participant, joined us there. We watched the sunset and had dinner before going back and catching some sleep.
Saturday 27th
Had breakfast on my own at the hotel. Since the rest of the participants were arriving later, I walked to the beach after breakfast. On the way there I was offered free lunch, getting my hair braided, and weed hahahaa… People were really friendly and a lady I talked to walked me to the beach. For $10 you got a beach chair and umbrella… A guy on the beach offered fishing tours and snorkeling on his boat and when I kindly declined, -”But how about some weed”. I learned that everyone’s last offer was always weed LOL…
At 1.30 we got picked up at the hotel and went to the main villa where you stay during the retreat. Wow, what a place….
A massage was included and Keela massaged so well I fell asleep.
By the time I woke up, the four other participants had arrived. Seemed like very nice people. Troy picked us up Indian food for dinner and everyone sat talking and getting to know each other. Slept like a baby in my big room 🙂
Sunday 28th.
Coffee was at 8am. At 9am, Marcel, our fabulous chef, served fresh fruit and a porridge made of ground plantain and peanuts with local honey. At 10am we were introduced to Mama Orah, our yoga teacher. I had expected a strenuous class, but it was the best yoga in my life. I think she said her practice was more African style. Very relaxed, slow movements, breathing while she shared a lot of wisdom. We were all blown away after. The last picture of Mama Orah just captures how cool and fun she is!
Marcel served us a delicious lunch after and we had some free time. Other people got their massages and most of us lounged by the pool.
Around 1.30 there was a group meeting with Evelyn, our facilitator. Some people didn’t have much experience with psilocybin so questions and concerns were answered. I never did psychedelics in a group setting and was curious how other people’s energies and experiences on shrooms were going to affect my trip.
Around 3pm we were driven to the nearby beach, Sugar Pot. Not a lot of people there and we picked a spot under some trees. We were given 2 gummies that had about 1,5gr of psilocybin in total. This was an introductory dose so that everyone was eased into it.
Everyone eventually wanted to be on the beach so we moved the chairs there. We were swimming, listening to music, talking and laughing. It was very relaxed and I felt the group coming together more and more.
Very light trip and I only had light visuals when closing my eyes. I think it was a great idea to start with a lighter trip to see how everyone was handling it and bonding people together. We left after about 4 hours and were cracking up with laughter in the car riding back. At the villa Marcel had cooked us a delicious dinner with jerk chicken, bone in chicken, vegetables and rice with beans. Then everyone sat around talking about their observations while tripping. Such a great and fun day!
Monday 29th
I was having coffee around 8 and people dropped in after they woke up. At 10am we had another great yoga session with Mama Orah. Slow moving, breathing and feeling your body. Mama Orah told us she would be joining us at the jungle ceremony too wohooo… We all loved her presence! After lunch we settled for another group talk. Evelyn told us what was planned for the jungle ceremony. We talked about our intentions for the ceremony. I shared that I want to give myself acceptance. I don’t have to be busy or creating something for my time to be considered valuable. I’m not wasting my life or time by reading, napping, or doing something that is not work.
It was very interesting to hear people share. We were also introduced to Jordan who is a psychedelic guide. He also has been cross breeding strains to create what he believes is a great mushroom strain to take in the jungle setting. The sweetest and most humble guy. His family owns the property in the jungle where we were going.
I watched the mushrooms being prepared for tea.
I packed a bag with bug spray, head lamp, a sweater, pants and a scarf, and around 3pm we were all packed up and ready to head out. About an hour ride into the jungle and in the end it was just 2 tracks for the car tires. We parked and were given 3 mushroom chocolates that were about 2gr of psilocybin in total. It was about a 20min walk down to ‘our’ spot.
I’ve heard how amazing it was supposed to be down there, but I was blown away. First we went to a place by the river where we could get into the water. It was crystal clear and cold.
I was already feeling the mushrooms and felt so at peace in the surrounding nature. Hearing birds and crickets. Then we moved out to another spot they had set up with lounge chairs. We were in a circle and we got served the mushroom tea. Everyone passing a cup to the next person after giving it a blessing or whatever you felt like passing on in silence. The jungle became 3D for me. I was feeling so good. I tend to get very relaxed and prefer to lay down. I asked for a yoga mat and laid down. I put my scarf over me and cocooned up. I had such beautiful visuals. Not seeing them, but being part of them. Sometimes I was brought back by hearing the group around me. Mama Orah sometimes played a drum or sound bowls. Then it was all dark and and the fireflies came out and surrounded us. I thought they would be small flies lit up, but they looked more like birds on fire. It was so beautiful watching them. I wish I could’ve filmed it, but I wanted to stay in the moment. I remembered thinking that I never want to leave this spot…
After the effect of the mushrooms subsided, we moved up under the ‘dome’ made up from bamboo trees and watched the fire. I felt so happy. People were talking and processing their experience. It started to rain and Troy handed out umbrellas.
I think we were down there for about 5h before heading back to the villa. Marcel had prepared us soup and one by one we dropped back into our rooms. I felt drained and fell asleep without even a shower…
Tuesday 29th
Everyone talked about their journeys in the jungle during breakfast. Mama Orah came and gave us our last yoga class. I consider her to be one of the best things I experienced here. At the end of class we all just laid down and Mama Orah covered us with blankets. It was pouring rain and we all just took it in.
This being the 3rd day, it was optional if you wanted to have another journey. In the morning I felt that I probably wasn’t going to because the jungle ceremony had been so great. But then I decided I wanted to. I drank a cup of mushroom tea around 7pm. I felt it kick in so fast and chose a secluded spot by the pool on my own. Again I had such beautiful visuals and I was listening to music in my ear buds. At one point I tried to join people by the table, but my body and head told me I wasn’t done. I laid down again and let go… Lot of thoughts of my family, friends and people in my life that I care about and love. When I emerged from my trip, I saw that I was alone. I felt like everyone had abandoned me at first.. But then I realized that everything was good. I put my earbuds in again and started moving slowly to the music. First came tears. Not feeling sad, but it felt like I was releasing something from my body. I then put on disco music and started really dancing. I felt like I had so much energy. I danced until I was soaked in sweat. I probably went at it for an hour.
Then I sat down and just felt at peace… another guest named John came out for snacks and we sat talking for a bit before going to bed. My favorite part of this trip was the dancing at the end…
Wednesday 30th
The retreat was officially over, but most of us had decided to stay a couple of more days. We checked in at Sand & Tan and I’m so happy I got to spend more time with the group.
A diverse group of people with different backgrounds, life experiences, and reasons why they had come here, but we all bonded together. We were lounging by the water,swimming,eating and paddleboarding.
We had dinner with Troy, Evelyn, and John at night on the dock. Talking about all the cool stuff we will remember. There was even talk about a reunion and I really hope that would happen since I would totally go back!
On Thursday John and I went floating down a river. Pretty relaxing except for when our ‘guide’ decided to sing very loud hahahaa…
Of course there was someone selling weed in the middle of it all too.
Also had time to hit the market in Osho Rios.
I styled up in Jamaican colors that night with my new outfit 🙂
And look at this superb cup I got from Roby, one of the participants. I think I had mentioned something about ‘size matters’ and possibly #tittytuesday hahahaaa…
Had time to catch a last breakfast with the group before a driver took me to the airport. Flights were smooth and landed back in Mexico around 8pm.
It truly was one of the best experiences ever! The location, people, jungle, the trips… I wouldn’t change a thing and I believe I will go back. Reunion or not 🙂 And if any of you are looking for a retreat, I highly recommend Mycelia Retreat! <—– If curios, click the link and register and you can win a 4-day retreat 🙂 Here are some more pics…
And the best thing about coming home? Cuddles with Hunter 🙂
Naah, just kidding. Don’t think I’ll ever marry. Never felt the urge or had a wish to walk down the altar. But it was fun pretending for my shoot. And here’s a couple of other sets we shot…
Also finished a custom made Psychonaut Explorer jacket and made Rocio model it. What do you think?
Hit the gym this week and today I did yoga. I realized I need to get more yoga in my life. It’s like trying to make an iron rod bend when I attempt yoga. And it’s not like we get more flexible the older we get…
I’ve started researching places that offer courses in becoming a Psilocybin Service Facilitator. There are a lot of rules on how to practice and go about this. The courses I looked at are only for Oregon and to practice there you have to live there, among other things. I’ve lived all over the place so who knows, I might end up in Oregon 🙂 Also there is a Psychedelic convention in Portland next weekend. Thinking about going…
Also got some more pics from my shoot with Fernando. And a couple of pool pics with me trying to recreate scenes from the movie ‘Splash’ with Daryl Hannah. I was so jelly of her as a kid after I saw the movie, but just look at me now 🙂
I started watching the show ‘Catastrophe’ and it’s super funny so far. Probably going to join Hunter on the couch now and watch a couple of episodes 🙂
Last week I finally got my hands on Sabrina Sabrok! I’ve followed her on Instagram for awhile and she texted me that she’s in Mexico now. Obviously I invited her over for a shoot right away! The funny part is that our communication was in Spanglish. Her knowing a bit of English and my Spanish being what it is. In the end it ended up being awesome and so much fun!
Also performed a bit solo during last week 🙂
Been upgrading my workout sessions with Tanya. Some Crossfit and joined another gym for some more cardio and yoga. We take our workouts very seriously 😉
Been reading a lot, and my favorite was this book called ‘Perfume: The Story of a Murderer’ by Patrick Suskind. I’ve seen the movie and liked it too, but the book is even better! I really recommend it!
From Goodreads “An acclaimed bestseller and international sensation, Patrick Suskind’s classic novel provokes a terrifying examination of what happens when one man’s indulgence in his greatest passion—his sense of smell—leads to murder.”
Another great read was ‘The Flicker Men’ by Ted Kosmatka. Exciting and recommend it.
From Goodreads “A quantum physicist shocks the world with a startling experiment, igniting a struggle between science and theology, free will and fate, and antagonizing forces not known to exist.”
After reading ‘The Flicker Me’n I got interested in quantum physics and some philosophy. Googled some books and started reading ‘Think: A Compelling Introduction to Philosophy’ by Simon Blackburn. Way too complicated for me and I put it down. If anyone has a recommendation on a more simple book on philosophy, please let me know 🙂 I did start reading ‘The Fifth Agreement: A Practical Guide to Self-Mastery (A Toltec Wisdom Book)’ and so far I love it.
Also read ‘Slow Horses’ by Mick Herron. First 50% was a bit slow, but it picked up in the end. I guess it’s a series now on Apple TV starring Gary Oldman (who I love) so I think I will end up liking the series more if I watch it.
From Goodreads: ‘The first book in CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning British espionage series starring a team of MI5 agents united by one common bond: They’ve screwed up royally and will do anything to redeem themselves.’
Oh, almost forgot, Happy 4th to everyone! 🙂 I’m going to eat now after doing 2 classes that kicked my ass this morning. I also have physical therapy for my shoulder later. I haven’t finished the website for Psychonaut Explorer, but I’ve started the work on it. Same thing with Instagram 🙂 Tomorrow receiving some t-shirts and pants and shooting more clothes on Wednesday!
…into 2021. How’s it going? I’ve kept being very productive which I’m happy about. I also made a resolution to try new spots here in Puerto Rico. So far I’ve tried 2 new restaurants, 1 new bar, and finally went to the Puerto Rican Art Museum.
The Art Museum is really close and so cool. Can’t believe I haven’t made it there before. So worth a visit if you’re in town!
Pretty cool to see this Miss Universe thing at the Museum as well. I loved watching Miss Universe as a kid. I even had some thoughts that I might win the crown myself one day. Always dream big hahhaaaaa… According to the note here, Puerto Rico has had 4 Miss Universe titles. I just Googled it too and PR has actually won 5 titles! “The Miss Universe pageant began in 1952 and since then Puerto Rico has had 21 representatives classify in the finals, including 5 winners, 8 runners-up, 6 finalists and 2 semi-finalists. With 5 wins, Puerto Rico is the third country with the most wins behind USA (8 wins) and Venezuela (7 wins)”
A lot of shooting! Found an amazing photographer to shoot some Pussitive stuff. Waiting to get more pics, but here’s a couple.
Too bad there’s not always a pro photographer around. Sometimes you just have to do with yourself and a self timer! (And a couple of filters…)
And then there are the pics with less clothing and more “action”…
Still working out in the park. It’s going to be hard to go back to working out indoors. But when it gets hotter it will be nice when they blast that AC! Masha the Russian is a yoga pro and I try my best to even reach my big toe!
One of my favorite things here in Puerto Rico is all the animals you see out. On our street there is a cat lady. She has about 15 cats. They are always peeking down at you. The lady always explains to me which cat is mom to who, which ones are brothers etc… My favorite is this white one. Pretty sure it’s a mom… Or a sister… Or is this one a male?
And our next door neighbor has a cat too now. His name is Caramelo.
Took a new found friend on the walk around the fort the other day. There were so many iguanas! Never seen so many in one day. Obviously I tried to make them come to me and just as obviously they didn’t give a shit about me!
As much as I love animals, I wasn’t impressed finding this one in the bathroom one night! I never seen a spider this big here in Puerto Rico! Saw them in Bali, but didn’t know there are spiders like this one here.
My new found friend, Annie, took me to a bar I’ve never been to after our walk around the fort. It’s in Old San Juan and called The Canon Club. Really cool place and the drinks were great! There’s canons, parrots, a pool and they sometimes have bands playing there. Actually went there last night too because it’s just that great of a place 🙂
Me before The Canon Club and all the drinks… I could still stand and sit straight LMAO 😉
This is my shoe after last nigh…
Always reading and finished A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. This is an amazing book! One of the best/well written books I ever read. It just makes you feel so good! Read it!
What else? Oh, went to the tailor who helps me with the Pussitive clothing. Our communication is pretty limited because his English and my Spanish aren’t great. But we manage and I understood when he offered me a shot of these homemade Dominican specialties. I chose the one with bark inside and my throat burned the whole walk home. Need to get a bottle hahhaaaaa…
That’s about it. Taking and making a mini vacation next week. Trying out a nice hotel and (road) tripping a bit 🙂
…before Christmas Eve. I’m in Sweden now and we expect Santa Claus to show up tomorrow, the 24th! Since it’s a well known fact that Santa is from Korvatunturi in Finland, he probably handles the Nordic countries before he deals with the rest of the world 😉 OK, before I jump to Christmas, I’ll share some Puerto Rican happening first… I just haven’t had the time between Tulum and Sweden.
We were all very grateful for good health and delicious food on Thanksgiving. Oh, it was nice to dress up a little too and be a bit fancy-pants for once. We ate at the restaurant 1919 at Condado Vanderbilt Hotel. One of my favorite meals is always a beef tartar and this one was superb! Sat outside after taking in the views of the ocean and big waves.
Since the gyms in PR now only are allowed to run at a 30% capacity, we taken to work out in the park. It’s sunny pretty much 360 days of the year in PR, you always get to work on your gains (and tan) in the sun. I also enjoy the big lizards that come really close to inspect on you.
By chance I also came across a yoga studio. I really liked when we did yoga in Mexico and I am always in the need of more mobility and stretching. A very chill place with great people. In some places people are so advanced, standing on their heads and shit, I feel like I’m there by a mistake. This place suits me perfect as it mostly pretty basic yoga moves and no one asks me to stand on my head!
Rented paddled boards one day too and went out on the lagoon. I love the Puerto Ricans who strap coolers and containers on their boards and then have a picnic on the water. One day I will try this out with a pizza and a couple of local Medalla beers! A couple will be enough or I’ll fall off the board 🙂
Of course there’s not a week without me creating content.
Sometimes I’m bad at exploring the places closest to me. Always think I have to cross the globe to find something new and exciting. Took a walk and never knew there was a beautiful walkway around the fort in Old San Juan. WOW. The best part is that there are so many cats there. A local cat sanctuary feeds them here and some of them are super friendly and come up to you. I wish I could take them all home with me!
Since I was in this exploring mood, we also tried a new restaurant close to us where we’ve never been. It’s called Jungle Bird and it’s this funky little place. They always update their menu, hence the menu written on boards they bring to you. Same with the drinks, so you most likely get to try something new if you go back. I definitely will 🙂
Couple of more selfies. Can’t waste the opportunity when you got your face paint on 🙂
It’s been busy days here in Sweden. Shooting for the new project which we plan to launch fully in January. More info coming, but please follow us on Instagram ~ @pussitive_
Will try to squeeze in one more post before 2020 ends. I had a week in LA before Sweden, some Christmas pics and probably some other randomness 🙂 Now off to get in Xmas spirit 🙂
Wish you all the very best! Stay naughty cause it’s so much more fun 😉
