So as I wrote before we were supposed to be at Mystical Yoga Farm until next Tuesday with a few trips to schools and the college at San Lucas. But we aren't. It was such a bizarre experience. I wish I could explain it. This is when I wish I had Peggy's ability to capture a story in a few words. But within a few minutes it became clear that we did not want to be there and they did not want us. They saw it as we were just too old to do rustic and we saw it as they are not establishing a business that caters to it's customers in a welcome and open manor.   The physical space was absolutely gorgeous and would have made a wonderful retreat center for the college that we will visit next week. Too bad.  They did help us get a room across the lake and we slept well having carted ourselves around in the rain.

The next day we took a boat across the lake to Panajachel where we will stay until next Tuesday when we return to La Antigua. There will be a facilitators  training on Monday that we will travel to.  We are resting during the weekend.

Enjoy your stay, I went to Guatemala last year with Gennell and it was wonderful. Lake Atitlan was beautiful but we ran into a rain storm coming back. A few women were worried but we basically sang chants and made the best of it. Wish I could be there again, maybe next year if Gennell goes back. Have a wonderful time, it's a journey to be enjoyed!
