Arrival in Ajijic

--- --- --- --- ---
An explosion of noise startled Claire from sleep.
She bolted upright in bed as fireworks outside her rented casita
broke the morning’s birdsong.
Claire fought to unwrap herself from the tangled sheets. Frustrated, she
rolled over and fumbled toward her glasses.
More fireworks went off, causing her to jump.
Her glasses dropped on the floor. Claire squinted toward the clock on the
bedside table. Seven in the morning.
Taking in a deep breath, she laid back on the fluffy pillow. More used to a
firmer one, she’d need to buy a different one while she stayed in Ajijic.
She listened to the fireworks for a bit and then turned on her side, braced
for another assault on her senses.
When was the last time she’d slept until seven? Yes, she’d arrived late
yesterday, but most mornings she rose around five, if she got lucky, maybe
six.
Years of preparing for her students had made her an early riser. It allowed
her to get a head-start on the day and grade in the morning versus in the
evenings.
Plus, over the years, she’d become a creature of habit in how she started
her day.
She let out an enormous yawn and stretched her arms into the air. She
cocked her head as she listened.
Quiet.
Maybe the fireworks were done. She swung her feet over the bed onto the
terracotta tiles, setting her feet down gingerly so she wouldn’t step on her
glasses. The coolness under her feet was pleasant and helped to remove any
remaining cobwebs. She twisted her shoulders to remove any leftover kinks
from her travels the day before.
After bending down to grab her glasses, she set them on the bedside table.
Rising from the bed, Claire flexed some more before striding to the
bathroom. Like the rest of the casita, it had been decorated with bright,
multi-color tile work. Reds, oranges, yellows, and blues tiles greeted her,
filling her with happiness at the cheerful display of colors, floral designs,
and patterns.
Claire’s long silver hair had come loose from its braid and several strands
stuck out from her head. She ran her hand over it to smooth them back.
After she took care of her morning ablutions, she made her way into the
bedroom.
Her large suitcase lay open on a nearby table, garments jumbled from last
night where she’d pulled out her nightclothes. From its depths, she pulled
out a yoga mat she’d brought along.
Even as an older woman, her body and flexibility were that of a much
younger woman. She’d taken up yoga years ago when the university had
added wellness programs. Yoga had stuck. Its daily practice allowed her to
continue her life the way she wanted. Once she’d heard the phrase that
you’re only as young as your spine, she had been happy she’d begun the
practice.
Already dressed in leggings and the tank top she’d slept in, she took a sip
of cold water she’d set out the night before.
