FOG ROLLS OVER THE HILLS ENVELOPING IT IN ITS MOISTNESS INVITE THE RISING SUN ERASING THE THREATENING SHADOWS. TINY LIZARDS SCUTTLE OVER THE PARCHED, CRACKED DIRT ROADS LOOKING FOR SHELTER FROM THE SCORCHING SUN. THE FRAGRANCE OF TROPICAL FAUNA OVERPOWERS THE SENSES, BUT AT THE SAME TIME TASTING THE EXOTIC SPICES & FRUITS SEEM TO OVERWHELM THE TASTE BUDS. WATCHING THE SUN MELT INTO THE OCEAN, LEAVING A GIFT OF REDS AND ORANGES ACCENTUATING THE IMMENSE SKY THE STAR-FILLED NIGHTS ARE BEING IN A PLANETARIUM, PERFECTLY CLEAR. THE ONLY SOUNDS ARE THE STRAINS OF SPANISH MUSIC FROM A LOCAL RESTARAUNT.
