Greta

  Today I was awakened by the even-squeaking mattress springs of the apartment above me.  What can I say- we all live with the windows open.  This on-again off-again creaking was soon overtaken by the local school band rehearsing for the bicentennial celebration... which I assume is to be taking place soon with the upcoming Mexican Independence Day.

  After some morning stretches and activities, I headed to the beach with Rodrigo and Greta- a fascinating woman whom we met yesterday.  I must say, it was wonderful to speak to a woman with whom I felt I had so much in common with.  We met Greta yesterday at the beach and invited her back to our house after some light conversation.  She had spent the past few months in Guatemala with her "trees and bees" vision, and was headed back to North Carolina after spending a few days here in Playa del Carmen.  She is a yogi, a name-reader, a ski instructor, a studier of Mayan cultures... wow- she fit right in with us!  We found out the Mayan calendar has deemed me a "9" a "very feminine number;" also, my name means something like "ringing out from the earth."  Cool.

  Here are a few pictures of this amazing woman- can I say I fell a little bit in love when she invited me to do partner yoga?
