I'M BACK (avec mon cousin et ma tante)! And St. John was also AMAZING...snorkeling, swimming, talk, good food, good talk, good movies. Absolutely mind blowing movie: Waking Life. Watch it and prepare to get into really deep conversations. Late nights full of long talks about life, death, art, dreams, religion, beliefs, everything. You name it, I discussed it. Actually no, we never even once touched on my love life. So there.

Came back with no tan (sigh), but a new sense of things, in a very good way. Like Rachel says, just looking out at the vista and seeing the way the horizon meets the sea or the mountains of faraway islands fade into the turquoise sky, you can't help but be inspired. And it was an inspiring trip.
