Guatemala: Rush to Leave

7:09 am
Its been a habit of waking up early. A lot of the people here are up already too. I like how I feel when I go to bed early and wake up early. I feel like I have so much more time to get things done or to just relax in the morning and not feel like Ive wasted so much time. Its hard to keep up this schedule in the States though because I need to use the evening hours to get stuff done and thats the lifestyle there.

The sun is out today and I dont see any clouds, how exciting! But, its our last few hours here so we can't enjoy it fully...

Im excited to get home, traveling can get exhausting but I also dont want to leave Guatemala. Its so beautiful here, everyone is so friendly and I love exploring new places.

I forgot to talk about the heat lightning! Last night we had some which created a cool atmosphere as we walked around the city at night. There was a lot of it at the Yoga Forest too. Especially the last night that one of the girls from our retreat taught yoga. It was dark, there was tons of lightning, some rumbling thunder and also some bats flying around in the open space! It was pretty magical and she does these awesome adjustments too. I just want her to do yoga with me all the time!

Man, I slept SO good last night because of the big hike and fun human interaction yesterday and am feeling so good today. I dont want to leave this place.

1:41pm Aeropuerto
We had to run around the city this morning to find an ATM and a shuttle service because our hostel wasn't running them when we needed one. When we got to the shuttle ($10 for an hour ride to the airport) we were able to take our time. I wanted more chocolate from the Coco Museo but it was closed. But we just walked around the Parque Central and the arch before we went to the market. Then it was time to pack up and say goodbye to El Hostel.


We sat in Parque Central and I watched this bird try and eat a peanut until a big fat pigeon came and scared it away. We were able to stop at the Coco Museo on the way to the shuttle where I bought SO much chocolate! Its too good...

We also almost missed our shuttle because the pickup spot was different! The man who reserved our spot spoke only Spanish and wasn't very slow with it so it was very hard to understand. But he was able to figure it out for us and we made it!

Now Im at the airport and our plane is delayed a bit but we should make our connection, hopefully...
Ill be back in the states soon!

The Cake Fairy

Today was a pretty standard weekend here in PA. I dont do much but hope that its nice out so I can go for a walk and explore on my own, but the sun didnt come shining through my window this morning to wake me up. I slept in. After a few hours of lounging around watching youtube videos about history, I asked Cassie if she wanted to explore the town. We decided to take a visit to a local winery/brewery, Stone & Key Cellars, to do some tastings. They had quite the spread of things to taste and we were overwhelmed! Fruit wines and your typical whites and reds, cider and mede! I started out with some of the red fruit wines and Cassie with the white fruits. They were all a bit sweet for me so I moved right into the bold reds. We got four tastings each and shared our tastes but also, the bartender was super cool and gave us more tastings of whatever he wanted! He was talking to us about the local area and what breweries to check out next in our exploration of Pennsylvania. Going to ...

Quarantine Day: 6+?

This morning I woke up before the sun and taught some kiddos English. I had all my favorite students today which makes getting up early worth it. Then I had my morning computer time and went on a deep dive into this Facebook group called "House Plant Hobbyist". Its seriously the best group on FB ever. Lots of people post about plants, literally anything about plants and everyone in the group is so supportive and positive. I love it. It makes me happy. I probably spent about 45 minutes just looking at plants and posting suggestions and comments... Yoga time was next. I wanted to get out before the sun took up the backyard space. Theres a nice concrete patch thats perfect for my mat. It was in the shade for my whole practice! I did a long and slow flow and felt super calm and connected after. Not to mention all the great music that they play through that app (Down dog). Its a free membership until May for anyone interested! Ty and our roommate decided they needed to get s...

Tree Tomato Juice in the Galapagos

The last day in the Galapagos! Ty and I wanted to get in one last snorkel and per our favorite travel agent we decided to hit up Charles Darwin beach early in the morning. We all woke up early in the house to go on our morning adventures. The girls were going to the Charles Darwin Research Center, my parents were going to hang out at the research center and the beach and Ty and I were going snorkeling. Tide was low and rocks that we swam over last time were now jutting out of the water. We put on our thickest wetsuits (that we brought) and slowly got into the freezing water. There were two older ladies who were wading in the water as well and giggled at us as we squealed at the cold water. They told us to have a good snorkel and we were on our way. It was cool to see a little closer to all the small fishes and rocks since the tide was out but we really didn't see much. We were not out for long when we got really cold and bored (when you see sharks, turtles and rays on all you...
