I have now officially been in Costa Rica for 24 hours, yahoo! It already feels like so much longer than that. I got into the airport at 10 AM and met up with 7 other girls from my group. Much to my surprise, I was the only American! 3 girls were from Canada, 3 from England, and 1 from Malaysia. We boarded a shuttle with a crazy driver, took an hour and a half ferry ride, then trecked through unspeakable amounts of mud to make it to Anamaya. We were kindly greeted with organic wine and the most delicious meal I have probably ever eaten. This place really is nothing short of paradise.
I am staying in the Master Suite just upstairs from the kitchen and dining room with two other girls, Misia from Detroit and Petroula from Greece. Surprisingly still, I am only one of very few American people here. I have an ocean view from my bedroom and the best sunrise I have ever seen.
This morning we had a fabulous breakfast of fresh pineapple, papaya, banana, and watermelon with some fresh juice. Morning started out with 3 hours of yoga, I actually fell asleep during shavasana and started to dream. I learned today that most of our fears we hold in our feet, so if you have lots of tension in your toes that's probably the reason why. Every day I am feeling a bit more fearless.
We have spent most of the day in the infinity pool although the sun wasn't cooperating with our ohm's. Even with the overcast, though, I managed to get a rockin' tan.
I am off to lecture on the deck, I will post pictures soon. You won't believe your eyes.
The local people say "pura vida" kind of like how Hawaiian people say "aloha" or Jamaicans use "irie." It means the good life, everything's good, and good energy to you.
Pura vida!
