I climbed to the top of a mountain one day
To see the sun setting in glory,
And I thought, as I looked at his vanishing ray,
Of a perfectly splendid story.
'Twas about an old man and the ass he bestrode
Till the strength of the beast was o'ertested;
Then the man would carry him miles on the road
Till Neddy was pretty well rested.
The moon rising solemnly over the crest
Of the hills to the east of my station
Displayed her broad disk to the darkening west
Like a visible new creation.
And I thought of a joke (and I laughed till I cried)
Of an idle young woman who tarried
About a church-door for a look at the bride,
Although 'twas herself that was married.
To poets all Nature is pregnant with grand
Ideas — with thought and emotion.
I pity the dunces who don't understand
The speech of earth, heaven and ocean.
—Stromboli Smith

By means of the Mummy, mankind, it is said,
Attests to the gods its respect for the dead.
We plunder his tomb, be he sinner or saint,
Distil him for physic and grind him for paint,
Exhibit for money his poor, shrunken frame,
And with levity flock to the scene of the shame.
O, tell me, ye gods, for the use of my rhyme:
For respecting the dead what's the limit of time?
—Scopas Brune

Why medical tourism? For starters, the cost of medical procedures can be significantly lower in other countries making it an attractive option for those who are looking to save money on their medical expenses. In addition, many countries offer cutting-edge medical treatments and technologies that may not be available in your home country.
So what's it like to be a medical tourist? Imagine hopping on a plane passport in hand and traveling to a foreign land in search of medical treatment. You might visit a modern hospital in a bustling city complete with world-class facilities and state-of-the-art technology. Or you might venture to a remote tropical location where you can recover in peace and tranquility.
Either way, the experience of medical tourism is often a unique blend of adventure, exploration, and healing. You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture try new foods and make new friends. You may even discover a hidden talent for haggling at the local market or find that you have a knack for navigating public transportation.
Of course, medical tourism is not without its challenges. You may face language barriers, cultural differences and the stress of being in a foreign country without the support of your friends and family. However, with proper research and planning, these challenges can be overcome and you can have a truly rewarding experience.

to walk down the corredor de artesanos is to run the gauntlet of shell jewelry, textiles, sunglasses, and the odd jar of local preserves. avoiding their gaze will not deter them. politely declining will not dissuade them. they cannot be haggled with, they cannot be reasoned with, they do not feel pity, remorse, or fear. they absolutely will not stop until the cash in your pockets has been converted into kitsch
but if you can get by them there's a pretty good taco place on the beach.

“He's not perfect. You aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn't going to quote poetry, he's not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don't hurt him, don't change him, and don't expect for more than he can give. Don't analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don't exist, but there's always one guy that is perfect for you.”
