Dandelion Wine

Any guesses?

1. I learned to surf in the Dominical, a costal community of Costa Rica. The water was so warm; I never needed the expensive body suit I brought with me. It rained every day almost like clockwork, but I didn’t mind.
2. I once performed on the streets of Istanbul in a world festival. Our group traveled all over the artist’s district of Tunell. If you go there today, you can probably still see our mark in the form of a faded white line of paint that we accidentally spilled and let trail behind us.
3. One morning during rush hour in Boston, the subway before the one I was riding on crashed head first into another. Everything was shut down, and my car was evacuated. We had to walk underground in the dark tunnels. I tried to ignore the smells and the sight of long tails rounding corners.
