and ended it with the sunset today at La Punta...
Of course the photos never do it justice. It's amazing to me how powerful the sunset is, how enduring. The amazing peace I feel as it dips over the horizon, marking the close of a day in God's creation, putting the small stuff into perspective. A time for grounding, going inward. It never gets old.
Friday was an early evening of dinner at a little taqueria with the Aussie girl and then home. Saturday I slept in a little and then went to Dan's Cafe and met Caitlin, who was super nice. Then I went to yoga at Vida Yoga, and it's the first time I've ever done 'perro abajo' (aka down dog) in Spanish. The yoga studio is beautiful and open air with a view out to the sea. After, I spent some time reading on the beach, and then went out to dinner with my house mom, Sol, at her favorite place for tostadas, and they were amazing. Last night was my first night out on the town, and Caitlin took me to Cafe Babylon, Kabalah, and Sativa before I called it a night at 2 AM (which is EARLY for the peeps here...there is a bar here that doesn't even open until like 3 or 4 AM, sort of like Spain was). It was great to practice my Spanish in a social setting...it's here that I get to learn the slang lingo...buen onda (which means 'good vibe') and que chido (which means 'cool').
Today I went for a walk in the Centro where I haven't really explored yet. I stopped into some shops and then came home for lunch, before going with my house family to La Punta where Sol did some surfing, I got my ass kicked by some waves (like scary, I had to get out of the water), and we saw the sun set. Off to my new work location tomorrow. More on that soon!
