Anais Nin loves Acapulco and spends another 20 days there vacationing. Life there is like a dream where her body and spirit are at peace. Fiestas abound. People dress in vibrant colors. She spends days at the beach, swimming and suntanning, and evenings, dancing at night clubs. She feels the "Latins and Negroes are right. Happiness is in the physical life, and sorrow is in thought. At least I can say I have possessed all physical life. But I wish I could devote myself to it, live only for it." Acapulco is the home of beauty and feeling to Anais.
Back in Los Angeles, Anais says, "Sometimes when I think of death, I think merely that it would be too bad, but I have not yielded up all the treasures I have collected. The chemistry I am producing of turning experiences into awareness is not yet finished." She is only 51 years old and already thinking about the end. It seems as though age 50 is a turning point for many people on this topic.
