Download or read book Lalo of Chemuyil written by Barbara Khidirian and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2006-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prologue describes a letter of complaint written by the author in 1988, addressed to the Secretary of Tourism, Mexico City, Mexico. The letter details a frightening event that had taken place at Chemuyil. The story then begins in December 1986 when BARBARA (49) and husband EDDY (58) cross the Rio Grande in a motor home prepared to spend months exploring Mexico. Brief travel descriptions are sprinkled with humor as they make their way to the Caribbean where they discover Chemuyil, a dream come true beach. At Chemuyil they meet LALO, the proprietor of the palapa beach bar concession. Intermittent details describe how the couple liquidated assets to prepare for a once in a lifetime adventure, traveling in their new motor home indefinitely. The gist of the narrative is a first person view of both ordinary and extraordinary lives encountered during lengthy stays at Chemuyil, but the charismatic Lalo carries the book from the moment the readers meet him. A Don Juan character for sure, yet a much respected man, Lalo's personality defines the ebb and flow of the story. Barbara and Eddy become immersed in Lalo's web of passion, money, business, drugs, gambling, and government conflict. Lalo's biography is that of a hero/anti-hero who is very well known in Quintana Roo. However, Lalo suffered from delusional pain. His anguish revolved around losing his beloved Chemuyil, followed by mental conceptions of returning to Chemuyil, and finally psychological obsessions about how he would obtain another Chemuyil. Because Lalo's highs are both humorous and tragic, the author describes the book as a tragicomedy. Although Lalo's palapa bar is at the core of the drama, mixed into the story is nature at its best in an area of sea and jungle. Vivid descriptions also cover the after effects of hurricane Gilbert, as well as the role of the modern day Maya in the Yucatan. Barbara's fascination with Maya culture, Mexican politics, and her newly adopted Mexican family, connected her to insider information about another society. Her writing is an objective view of her inside connection, a summary of journal entries recorded while living in a motor home for three years . . . wintering at Chemuyil.
Download or read book Every Single Day written by Julie van Amerongen and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all know there are simple things we could and should be doing on a daily basis to help us live better lives. We should drink more water, eat better, get lots of sleep, and exercise. Right? But that’s easier said than done! After trying a series of 30-day challenges to varying degrees of success, Julie van Amerongen found her tribe in an amazing community of runners known as streakers (no, not the ones who take their clothes off!) who run Every.Single.Day. without fail. She became hooked. Getting out the door every day is challenging for anyone, yet somehow, Julie managed to squeeze running in no matter where life took her—to multiple states and countries, in snow and on sand, while hungry and full, drunk or hungover, and well…everywhere. By turns intimate, funny, relatable, and inspirational, Julie peppers her adventures with insights how and why she has kept on running every day and how you (yes, you) can too.
