I awoke before dawn and threw back the curtains to see the sun rising on the horizon. As the sky brightened, the dark ocean developed that wonderful azure colour that associate with the Caribbean. Looking out over the Gulf of Mexico is a wonderful way to start one’s day.
My main mission was accomplished in obtaining my media pass. There is massive security surrounding this U.N. climate convention. I passed many Mexican police and army roadblocks on my half hour journey to the conference venue. But being Sunday, there was no official business and everything was quiet and effortless. This is the calm before the storm, as tomorrow will be buzzing with 20,000 delegates.
I’m happy to report that your grandfather spent a relaxing afternoon by the pool. Actually, I should say pools, because this hotel has more than a dozen of them in their gardens overlooking the beach. Back to hard work tomorrow.
