Today I woke up early then I usually do, thus I saw more sun pouring through this window than I usually do., originally uploaded by Jane Plantain.

If I Should Ever Go Missing, Look For Me Here:
Date: unknown
Architect: Octavio Ocampo
Purpose: private house, also available for rent
More info: The Conch Shell Hose is said to be the most outstanding and original house in the island of Isla Mujeres. Surrounded by Caribbean Ocean (180 degrees of ocean views from the windows) it gives you an unique opportunity to experience what it’s like living in a Sea Shell. The conch shell house was built using a fairly traditional foundation, such as concrete, as well as recycled and found materials. The owner of the house Octavio Ocampo is a well known artist, whose brother Eduardo is an architect (he also has a house on that island, but a more traditional).
If you enter the house you would be surrounded by a wonderful shell themed interior. The main room has no corners – it is round. The upstairs bathroom sink is made out of the base of a conch shell, the faucets are made out of coral, the towel racks are made from conch shells and other seashells and items found on the local beach.
Some technical info: 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 4, 5500 sq. ft. , 2 Bathrooms, 1 Half Bath, near the ocean, swimming pool, air-conditioning, internet access.

DJ Derek Part 1
DJ Derek pt. 1 from Grand Finale on Vimeo.
Derek was born & raised in Bristol, & during the late 50's & early 60's fell in love with the music & culture of the West Indian immigrants moving to Britain. He picked up the lingo by hanging around in barber shops & listening, & picked up the groove by buying & selling reggae records around the country.
Now in his late 60's Derek tours the country armed only with a backpack full of killer tunes, his bus pass & an unquenchable thirst for real ale.

I Heart Fufu
One MetroNorth train, a few subways and one very, very long walk took me straight to heaven in the form of a West Indian supermarket where I got myself a box of Plantain Fufu, (A thick, doughlike West African food made by boiling and pounding a starchy vegetable such as yam, plantain, or cassava). Now I can finally use the Fufu spoons I bought in South Africa for more than stirring my coffee.
Weighing Me Down
The ocean is the only place I like feeling weightless but these jelly fish glass paper weights make me a hypocrate and leave me wanting to be to be weighed down unable to move. Excuse the teenage rambling and find these beauties here: http://thebeachhouseclb.com
