The journey begins.



We left Austin two days ago. We spent the first night in San Antonio with Pao's friend Kasey. Most of our time was spent entertaining Kasey's 2 year old niece Serenity and defending our feet from puppy bites.

Last night we spent the night on South Padre Island. We slept on the beach and awoke to the sun rising over the gulf of Mexico. The water is warm, the sand littered with shells and the insects a bit aggressive. A tent pole broke while we were putting away the tent. it shouldn't have been a big deal but I was frustrated and couldn't understand how it happened.

Today is the day - Mexico, here we come. Good-bye convenience and the illusion of safety. Hello adventure and the unknown. Hello life I embrace you!

I need a mantra to help me keep my fears in check.
