Every Day

Our taxi drivers didn't really know where we were headed that afternoon which was the first indication that we were in for an adventure. We found it without much trouble and pulled up to an unfinished and empty "hotel". Blue Shark Hotel was definitely an experience that I'm glad I had but wouldn't need to ever have again. Its all about the stories right? So we were greeted by a very nice but socially awkward gentleman who helped us with our bags and then told us to leave them on the stoop so he could give us an "orientation" inside. He puled up some plastic chairs which were the only furniture decoration in the place and stood in front of us to tell us that dinner would be fish and breakfast would be eggs and then said "oooook lets show you your rooms!" At least he spoke pretty good english for everyone. After grabbing our bags again, we walked to the back of the building and up a set of stairs. Its so interesting because everything was hal...

7:35am Im sitting next to a tree trunk in my tree house, looking at an amazing view of Antigua below, mountains and volcanoes surrounding. So lush and green. I didnt sleep very well because the light from the city shone so bright into where my bed was in the top portion of the tree house, where my bed is but it was ok. I miss the Yoga Forest and my friends from there. Yesterday we got to Antigua and had to say goodbye to another woman who had to get to the airport for her flight. The rest of us had some time to explore Antigua for a bit. First, We went to this awesome Mayan textile store that our retreat leader told us about. There were so many beautiful things! Thats where I bought an awesome tie for my Ty, haha.  Then it was time for lunch. We ate at some place that was close and convenient. The food was alright but the company was better :) After lunch we had to say goodbye to another woman from our group. I walked her to her shuttle so she wouldn't get lost be...

So today was a travel day/ saying goodbye to my six women friends. Im pretty ok with goodbyes like that because Ive had to say goodbye a lot in the past. We took so many pictures together and then had coffee before our shuttle. Luckily we were all able to get in the same shuttle to Antigua. Saying goodbye to our retreat leader was hard. She ran after our shuttle for a minute and it was so cute that I almost started to tear up a little. The ride up the mountain was so beautiful and I was glad I got to see it during the day. The volcanoes/mountains over the lake were so stunning from up higher. I felt like I could see for forever! Then came the switchbacks... I dont know why we all felt ok on the way down (maybe not being able to see helped?) but most of us felt at least a little car sick cruising on those roads. We all chatted a lot about our adventure and our new blog on health and wellness. These girls are such an interesting bunch and I feel so close to them. I want to get to...
