SUN APR 16 '89
Seattle Hi 56°

Tough to sleep with waves, so 1/2 Unisom
so I slept later. Think ~ last night.

9:30 ------ B'fast w/Michael. -----

11:15 [pink]To beach with Michael. Life after Life.
See Michael off.[/pink]
Lunch. [pink]Carol from Bend OR[/pink] ~ writing.
Told her about Word Processors. Nice chat.

2:45 -----

3:00 To [pink]El Dorado.[/pink] More "Life After Life."
[pink]Lots of out-of-shape Mexicans,[/pink] having fun.
I was afraid to leave my things on beach
for fear of theft so I couldn't stay long in H2O.
See Tim, that Michael liked. Ask about GYM.
Gave me his room # + said to call.
Cruse to south of beach. [pink]Macho Mexicans.[/pink]
Walk north to Milano del Agua Hotel
where Bill stayed last time. Fine + ok.

5:30 Walk up to Cafe Elena. Photos on way + there.
Cocktail by myself. [pink]So hesitant to
have sex in Mexico due to law + language.[/pink]

6:00 Head back to Hotel Camino Real.
J/O. Shower. [pink]Starting to feel bored.
What I dislike about Camino Real:[/pink]
Florescent bathroom lighting
Crashing waves get on my nerves especially with open window.
Crowd is too old + out of shape.
No laundromat.

So should I leave tomorrow? I want to
shop by myself
take photos more
see gym (Silver Gym)

Can't read in room due to waves crashing.

7:30 Sunsets without a few clouds or mountains are
boring, like the one Tonite

Try Mexicana. No answer.

[pink]Maybe Gil, Hub, Bill, Cap et al like PV since
they don't feel out of shape here.
Call Jim.[/pink] Never been to Silver Gym,
but tells me where it is. That was his
lover on beach but they say they're brother-
in-laws to people in Condo: El Dorado.
-----

8:00 Decide against dinner with Carol from Bend.
To town to walk. Have salad. Crowds.
Even if there are some nice stores,
[pink]by myself I cannot help but be strongly
influenced by poverty of PV: the buses![/pink]
With Bill + Michael it seemed fun, but now its trash.
[pink]It's sort of same reaction as to SF.
I can enjoy trushing around only a few days.[/pink]
It's really quite depressing to see
such a rich country + people wasted.
(And awful florescent bright lighting in some shops.)
