The bathroom views are amazing! I took a poo yesterday looking out at the lake and volcanoes in the distance. Absolutely stunning. I dont mind taking my time in the bathroom with views like that!

We had a day of exploration in San Marcos today. First the group of girls went to hang out by the lake, Lago Atitlan. It was very rocky, like a cliff-side almost. Not like a beach at all. But we climbed down the rocks to check out the water and it was cool, but not cold like lake Michigan. I put my feet in the water and soaked in the morning sun.
Its SO fun to chat with all the ladies here. I feel like Im a part of something and they all have such interesting things to say. I want to know all about them!

This morning’s yoga was taught by one of the girls in my group, K. I love taking classes by people I know because it brings a whole new level to the experience. She came around and did excellent adjustments and it was so calming. Can she just do one on one lessons with me?!
Im still however looking for some intensity in the yoga here. Its mostly slow flow and focusing on breathing which is nice for a little bit but I find boring when its ALL the time… I need some exercise!
Lunch today in town was delicious. I had this moist, flavorful falafel. And it was like 4 USD! In fact, all the food here is so good. Every meal has new flavors and ingredients. At each meal, after we do our collective “Om”, I get so excited at the meal reveal! Its always something home-cooked and delicious. Most of the stuff is from the property because they have goats and chickens and a garden. Its a pretty amazing place.
But, even with all the good food, Im having bowl issues. Constipation station right here! Im not the only one with the issue and I would much rather be stopped up then the alternative…
This evening we had a Mayan candle ceremony. We took different candles which represented different aspects like family, shedding the past, hopes for the future, and such. We all put our thoughts and feelings into the candle (or whatever else we were given) and placed them into the fire. It was really interesting to go through all the different things and think about my life and put passion, re-birth or escape into the fire with all the wonderful women surrounding me. Tis a bit hard to explain the event further than that except the woman who led the experience was such a calm, well- spoken woman who really thought about what she was going to say before she said it. It was a wonderful experience.
Love these journal entries! Keep them coming!
