Yesterday we went to Las Huertas. A water/jungle sanctuary that runs along a huge river!!! The space is communically owned, it costs about 5 bucks a person to enter, and once you enter - water oasis!!! There is a huge pool at the top where the water is born, kind of like Las Estacas, and from there cascade waterfalls and multiple pools of water!!! The place is surrounded by hugs trees, whose roots hug the ground and make designs with their long fingers and toes. Mini waterfalls to give you a massage - a natural spa indeed! We spent half the day here, eating, resting, swimming, and playing. I can´t wait to go back, and when I do, I will bring my camera for sure!
This morning I was up by 7am, waiting for Delia to build a new compost with her. Waiting for her, I did yoga amongst the freshly watered plants from the rain last night. Every night about 10pm the wind comes, and from there, the rain. Thunder, lightning, its loud, and a bit scary. But we need the water, and its fun to wake up in the mornings and do a bit of water amongst the damp plants and grass.
By 8-30am we were out digging a huge hole in the back yard. About 1 meter in depth and .5 meters in width. It was a lot of work, but between the three of us, Delia, Dany, and I, it was fun! We took tuns digging and in two hours, whala! A new compost to be exists...It feels to wake up early in the mornings and do something physical. I feel like I am growing stronger. From it all really - sweeping, mopping, cleaning, cooking, working in the garden, starting the temezcal, etc. Days are flying, and I have little time left to go. Many mixed feelings. I am looking forward to going home but also will miss a lot, a lot, about my life here. There are many values and practices that I do intend to take home with me, however.
Anyways, before I begin writing a book, I will leave you here. Until next time.
