After morning meditation we went on a long hike (no morning yoga AGAIN!) to pretty nice waterfall, and the drinking water source for all of the area. Exhausted after four hours of hiking we had the biggest and best dosa for lunch. I made it to afternoon yoga (Yin at Oasis) and Damo joined (he's really into this yoga now, it's awesome!). It rained all afternoon so we just hung around drinking chai and reading. Pretty relaxing. Tomorrow is our last day her...

Today brought rain. Starting in the wee hours of the morning, it started pouring and storming with loud thunder. Although it waned, it continued most of the day. It brought some pretty massive slugs out. I couldn't decide if I wanted to squash them or eat them. I opted for neither.

I really have little to report today. And being still under the weather, with the electricity out (happens some days, actually most days, for hours at a time), I accomplished little. But what I gained, intellectually and spiritually, was invaluable. After morning pranayama and meditation I stayed at Oasis and took a vinyasa flow class, AND I was the only student there! It was awesome to get one-on-one teaching from Jenna, one of the Californians who has been te...
