Escape

Lindsay & I at 100% Natural. 

I spoke with a very intelligent woman today whose name I can’t mention, but she's very good friends with Bikram and has been for some time. I was telling her how I was so overwhelmed and she brought to my attention that this training is cramming a 4 year “degree” into a 9 week course, so of course I’m overwhelmed! There is constant information being thrown at us so it’s impossible to retain it all and very easy to get overwhelmed. So she said I needed to get out of here (the hotel), so I happily took her advice and it was WONDERFUL! Lindsay & I ventured into Acapulco for the day. We got an awesome taxi driver who knew exactly where to take us, which turned out to be his mom’s little shop in an authentic Mexican flea market. There was a nice man we met at the market, which was the drivers friend, who was like our personal guide through the market. He told us that he was there for  us, to watch out for us & take us to the best shops; what a nice guy! So I ending up spending a little money J I mean I may never be in Acapulco again, right?  So we shopped for a couple hours then ate at 100% Natural. OMG! It was so wonderful to eat different food, I’ve been eating the same buffet for 2 weeks now and it’s not very good food. So we both got 2 meals, 1 to bring back to the hotel to eat for dinner tomorrow. The drive into Acapulco was absolutely gorgeous!   I think I will be going into Acapulco every weekend from now on, it was a much needed escape and will help to clear my mind every weekend. 

Oh & we did have class this morning, it was okay. I'm finding now that I can go into some postures deeper than I've ever been able to, but at the same time there are some that I'm worse at than I was when I first started practicing.  I'm stiff in so many places! But some good news is that the shoulder problem I've had for quite a while (as some of you may know) is getting better I think. I've been taping it for every class but on Thursday night I forgot to tape it & it didn't pop out once! I'm going to try taping it every other class for a while to make sure it can heal completely. 

Tomorrow I plan to lay by the pool, read a book & study dialogue a bit.  We start posture clinic Monday which means we will start reciting Backward Bending & Hands to Feet pose. Thankfully I already know them! Oh, we also have an anatomy test Monday which I haven't started studying for. And we have to make our weekly trip to Wal-Mart....yay. 

Beautiful hand painted (with horsetail) wood plates. I actually bought the brown & black one that's kind of in the center of the picture. 

Love this pottery, bought a great coffee mug like this.
