“Here in Hampi after years of hearing people talk about it I learned for myself what “chemestry” between two people means.

I am still down two massages and yet feel light though my back be sore (gave both Mereike and Cathy an hour massage some days ago and they did not reciprocate). Waited for Cathy (that is the name of the English girl) outside an intense WC session and declared my feelings for her with calm and loving logic. I was glad to have become heady with the wine of chemestry and strong physical attraction. Sparks jumped when I touched her skin, she shined before my eyes, I loved her curves with my gaze and sly hands and never forgot for a minute that she could not be mine even for a pause, a breath in time. I felt the lash with Jessica, she needs this boyfreind of hers as a pillar on the mud flats where she rests her home – I will not crack him even for the sweetest kiss, the warmest caress and the most exquisite murmuring and sighing of this kitten in the heat of passion.

I do not regret? This is the cause of my restlessness and searching gaze - do not think that Hampi was not at every minute a joy and a mystery but it was the haunting misty curve of this chemic path which gave me my daily focus. Now I have done right by my declaration and as usual she batted the birdy only lightly back in my direction. English Understatement – my first. I can also feel like a Don Juan since she debated it in her head and evidently felt these sparks also in her own nerves and fingertips.

Met an American woman from San Diego who reminded me about what a minefeild of self-defending and justification following imprudent statements such company can bring. I have to prove in the first few moments what a non-racist, women’s issues-sensitive being I am, show my socially respobsible credentials or face suspicion and not receive the benefit of the doubt. My feet are too out of practice to do that dance again. Most likely I will avoid further contact.

It is possible that my website has gone down and my Bigstep service order did not go through. I must check tomorrow and see if my site is up or if Eric from the Lonely Planet Thorn Tree was able to help me migrate my site wholesale to a free server.
