bahia honda

Went to Bahia Honda yesterday, for no good goddamned reason.
Of course, that is the perfect reason to go hang with the pelicans and Portugese men-of-war, to watch the sunset from a different land-freckle on the planet's broad face.

The wind was strong enough that the pelicans barely had to put forth effort to leave the surface. They sat on the water, choking down fishies, then spread their wings wide and just sorta...shifted their weight, looked like. The air plucked them, buckety beaks and all, gently up off the waves, pushed them uply and horizontally until they rode feathers instead of bones. Magnificent.
