La Vida Pura - Day 1

Here are some pictures.  I wish I was so encumbered by anxiety over missing phone messages.  Both Sprint and Google are failing me right now and I no longer have the energy to pursue the issues.   If Google wants to own my world, they could at least do it right.  No Google Voice on my phone is ruining my life rather than running it.  Also, I lost the Sprint  instructions to set my phone to International Roaming.  I don't know how I did that; they were in the pocket of my purse where I keep my phone. Why does everything have to be so complicated?  Even the Internet instructions don't make sense. Whatever.  This just turned into my first blog post.

Willie drove me to the store this morning in Santa Cruz.  I had a Desayuno Tico (breakfast) of fresh fruit, rice and beans, eggs and toast and the best coffee con leche I've had in a while.  So much for cutting out caffeine today. 

I bought fruit at the market, then Willie bought me a tamarindo drink at an open air stand.  It's like iced tea with sugar and lemon.  They harvest sugar cane here.  So much for giving up sugar today. My selfies suck.

The surf board sign points you in the right direction.  The sign at the entrance ensures you've arrived. 

  

  

Some of the cabinas; mine is #5.  The Courage flag is on my cabina, in case I forget what number I have.

I've met some of the other volunteers and participants, as well as Kevin and his wife Hali who own the beautiful Peace Retreat. The participants are in training from 5:45 am to 9:00 pm.  Yuck.  I'd rather adhere leeches to my own skin. Everyone seems very nice, but I just don't care.  I don't want to know them.  Not sure why; perhaps over the past six plus years I've been overly influenced to find people annoying.  I especially don't want to talk about who I "am," what I "do," nor talk about the relationships I some how use to define me.  I'm so disappointed with life. With love. With myself.  But all that really doesn't matter anyway, now does it?  I guess it never did.

Be Kind
