woke up today after tossing and turning for 10 hours on my top bunk, feeling like i wanted to do yoga on our inviting (but very wet) lakefront property. So first mission of the day (after a plentiful breakfast, i am learning rice is a part of every meal, as well as platano macho -yum): was to walk into town, see what yoga mat type of supplies i could find.
the sleeping part of the night however, brought back my stressful spider nightmares, which some have been prevy to experience firsthand or have at least heard of. oh goody. this time it was only one spider i was looking for, i big tarantula type. than after i woke up, i started thinking about the bats that are said to be sleeping on our ceiling and the thunderstorms that were presently accompanying that nights sea turtle patrolers. everything is getting much more real by th eminute. and tho it sounds like im freaking out a bit (and i am) im also doing it carrying a frantic smile.
Anyhow, walk the short 1 k-ish trail to the village, encounter a local sweeping him front dirt area saying "parece q' va llover," i look bewildered thinking "its already raining!" haha i keep walking and he says, "i was kidding." haha ha. but i guess an average San Diego raindrop is like a tickle to them. now (3 hours later) i can see the difference between pretend rain and real rain (cuernavaca style).
Not much to see in the town, souvenier shops everywhere...and everything overpriced, as warned. bought a calling card (next mission figure out calling sich), a coupe postcards (to which i've requested and have yet received no - ADDRESSES) and an extra towel. no ATMs in town, and of course no yoga mats.
About to buy two minnie winnie the pooh bath mats to substitute as yoga mats, when after converting came out to a stunning 36bux. so i think i will go the trash back route somehow...
barely 11 am here, feeling a pre gilligan's island fever. next part of orientation is in 3 minutes.
