Guatemala: Some Me Time


Today was another one of our free days in San Marcos. I just did an energy massage which was really interesting. It was color therapy, reiki, chakra balancing and regular massage.
So basically, I chose some colors that "called" to me and they meant something. The gist of what she said was that I need to talk about my feelings or they get bottled up inside, Im very in tune with the logical/rational part of my brain. Also, I am good at explaining things in different ways to different types of people and am my best when I am outdoors and surrounded by nature. Thats why Im an outdoor educator!
Then she gave me a shoulder/face massage and some reiki on my head and Ive never gotten that before but it was nice.
Then came the chakra balancing which was bizarre. She tapped on the part of my body that corresponded with the chakra and then tried to separate my hands which were together above my head. My third and fifth chakras were out of balance because my hands separated so easily for those. That was crazy. She did some energy stuff to re-align those chakras and while I was laying there with my eyes closed, my lips tingled which was crazy because she was aligning my throat chakra. After that was more massage.

In a bit Im going to get my Mayan birth chart read by the same woman who led our candle ceremony. Apparently thats intense.

Right now Im sitting on a dock. Its getting chilly cause the sun is going down. I was supposed to meet my ladies for lunch but have no idea where they all are cause the place we were going to meet was closed. Even in this tiny town I can't find them! I should leave for my reading soon anyway.

Bio Bay, PR positives

The coolest part of our trip to Puerto Rico was definitely the Bioluminescent Bay in Vieques [side note, bioluminescence is a big word, mostly it just means stuff that lights up but scientifically it means 'bio'-life, 'lumin'-light, 'escence'-to put forth. So, life that puts forth light!] It was an experience that I cannot easily put into words. The night started out a bit strange. We got picked up at our hostel at 9pm, along with 5 other girls, by a thirty-something, long-haired gentleman. He walked us about a block to the van that would transport us to the bio-bay. The van was, well, to put it nicely, a fixer-upper. It had bench seats which were collapsing, the roof fabric was falling down, it puttered around and squeaked during turns. Ty and I joked that we were paying 40 bucks to get murdered in this van especially when we turned down a dirt, side street that was full of pot holes. We slowly lumbered along this road for a few minutes until we made it to our ...

Eating Like Crap is Crap

Im trying really hard not to spend money on food as there is so much food here at camp. Its not horrible food but its definitely not the best. So, with me trying not to spend money on food, I haven't been eating the greatest. I don't know if its because of other reasons, but Ive been feeling like shit lately and Im attributing it to lack of nutrients. I dont know how people eat crap all the time and survive. It must be a skill. I was eating alright about two weeks ago but this last week it hasn't been very pretty. Ive been a scavenger and theres been a lot of bread and fake meat and here is how I feel: Im tired ALL the time. No matter how many naps I take or hours I sleep a night, Im always exhausted by mid-day and just want to lay around, sleep and do nothing. Ive also been starting to get weak headaches throughout the day. Or having sore muscles from doing minimal exercise. That also makes me just want to do nothing. My stomach is also crazy. It hurts if I eat som...

Summerfest Day 1

Amazing. I was just going tonight to hang and  see some bands, no expectations, but SFest delivered on its first day. My friend Alex and I got there a bit early so we walked around the shops and the smaller stages. We stumbled upon Five Knives which were like a hip-hop-y Ke$ha. If you know me at all you'd know that I probably loved it. They were pretty fun. Then a bit later when we were sitting watching a local sax band play, the fireworks started. I never NEED to see the big bang but its always a pleasure when I see it. I got great seats by accident sitting on a table. I always have a smile on my face when I watch colorful explosions in the sky. Then, the white out, massive explosion that is the epic finale. I couldn't see anything for at least a minute afterwards. I love when the loudness is felt in your heart and there is so much going on that its just a colorful mess. Most excellent. Then we went to find Bastille. As soon as they came on I was extremely impressed. H...
