Goddess Garden

So today we made the four hour trek from San Jose to Cahuita.  All I can say is thank goodness for availability of ginger ale and crackers at our half way point rest stop! All the mountainous, bumpy roads did a number on me...haven't felt car sick in a long time and haven't missed that feeling one bit.  We arrived to a healthy & delicious lunch and then hopped right into things here with introductions and what to expect these next 3 weeks.  We did a nice gentle yoga flow before dinner and we dive right in to this intensive training first thing in the morning.  The retreat center is very rustic feeling, like living in the jungle.  It's amazing to hear the monkeys yelling and the buss of all the insects.  Yes, there's a lot of insects!  Spiders like I have never seen and it will be quite the experience for me getting over that fear haha!  And during yoga tonight a little baby bat some how lost his way and landed in the middle of our practice.  Then as we finished, just as I stood up, a frog jumped past me and into my yoga blanket...what a welcome I have had here!  Oh and there are a few kitties, a doggy and how about a pair of peacocks too! Tomorrow I will surely have more things to add to this list and I will get some photos up as well.  Exhausted and have to get up with the birds (or monkeys!) to start our morning meditation...good night all!
