Settling in to San Marcos, the Pyramids, and life here

I am losing track of the days here.  Each one is so full, and finding time to come to the net cafe is a continual challenge.

I have been back-dating entries as I put them in, so as to align the stories with the dates they happened on. (Hence the Jan 2 entry, actually added on Jan. 9)  As I settle in to day-to-day life in the same place, I´m not sure if that´s so important anymore.  We´ll see. 

Life at Las Piramides is settling into a routine of sorts, although each day has its own distinctions.  The Moon course itself provides the basic structure: Yoga at 7am, Metaphysics at 10:15am and Meditation at 5pm.  Each session is about 90 minutes or so, leaving the remainder of the day to my discretion. 

I´ve made three trips so far back into Panajachel to go to the bank machine, and to shop a little.  Yesterday was the big grocery day, having finally found the supermarket my friends had raved about.  I was very excited to find gluten-free pasta, quinoa, coconut milk and other such goodies.  I am very much enjoying cooking my own food in the communal kitchen.  I am reminded of how profoundly I am comforted by nesting, cooking and feeding others.  (No one will be surprised to know that I continually make too much food and then find folks to share it with.)

I´ve also finally got my little pyramid set up with a colourful blanket, hand-woven rug and scarves draped over the surfaces. Candles, incense and some good old-fashioned elbow grease & bleach have helped solve the mold problem in the room.

Perhaps my next few entries will highlight little pieces of life here . . . as trying to fit it all in one entry will make it way too long. 

Now, I must run to a Medicinal Plants course . . . .
