Happy feet, soaked in the sand at Paradise beach. I told you so! These words I heard here over and over again! I reached my hotel to check out and decided to stay at Auro Ville. I had heard so much about the place and wanted to check it out. But I reached late in the evening and I was told that the Matrimandir shuts early.

Mexico Beach is a place where each summer, for more than half of my life, I…

I remember when my mom would sit me down on a little beach blanket near her while she talked to all of her friends. The rest of my friends loved sitting and cuddling with their moms but I loved to run around. As all of my friends sat and or slept I got up and hobbled away. My mother always reminds me that…
