Everyday here has been filled with hiking, river swims and waterfalls, except one where we hiked to the Sivanada Ashram…no waterfalls that day! Such a wonderful time here, to feel myself unwind, my mind to just rest and to sleep deeply…well, until a neighbor would get in late and make a ton of noise laughing, talking, cars...but that is what happens here in South America! It is part of the package!
Starting my day today with Breathwork…letting go and manifesting, it felt so good! The hostel owner, Lily, took me on here motorbike, through the curvy and twisted roads, to a dirt road where everything shook. We laughed at the sounds the vibrations made in us! She took me to the best cascada/waterfalls yet! Hiking up to get to them…coming out of the brush and there it was, we were actually above one and under another…we threw down our bags and went up to the higher one! It was just stunning!
Playing in the water falls, swimming, taking time to just rest the sun, slip and slide down the rocks into the clear light green pools! I have never been in a place that the temperature was just as wonderful in the water as out of the water. There is no feeling of being cold or to hot! A steady 75 degrees!
I loved seeing her home! She has a guava tree in her back yard…well, yard, hummmm…she is on the 2nd floor, it is like the tree grows up and she gets the fruit from it! Her home has no doors once you get inside, her sons live in one room, there is a wall and a doorway, but no doors, not even on the bathroom, just a cloth…her whole home was this cozy yummy place! She got some guavas and was so excited to share them with me!
We went off to lunch together and then we went back to the hostel where I packed, swam in the river behind the hostel and I had the whole entire river to myself…it was so peaceful, my heart and mind just rested there…taking in the beauty of this place wondering “will I be back here? It is so gorgeous! I leave so many places never to come back again. I will miss this place”.
Once back at the hostel I had the most amazing cold shower, I got to wash my hair and I felt a tranquil feeling all throughout me…then having an amazing self pleasuring session! Which lead to me being hungry and sitting outside eating dinner as the warmth of the day just hung in the air and the sun started to go down. Drinking in the day I had. And what a lovely one it was! And excited for what is next too! Always the unknown when going to another town!
I grabbed my bag and headed to town…a man very quickly offered me a ride on his bike…I have been on more motor bikes in the last month then I have in years! It was so sweet…he picks me up, I say “thank you” and he says “no, thank you”! In other places that may have been a red flag, but he was something about him that I knew he was just being nice or maybe he didn’t know “you are welcome”.
The ride was glorious with the sun setting, my hair blowing in the night air and then we came to a halt for there was construction, which I knew about…so after waiting I chose to say good bye, thank him and take off by foot. It was lovely to hold him on the back of the bike…something comforting, like cuddling sitting on the bike! My touch being very happy about that and getting filled up!
As I walked into down I ran into Lily and she agreed to meet me at the café…which is where I am…the only wifi place in town!
It has been a lovely visit here...and as much as I’d love to stay, some part of me wants to be in little bigger place! Thank goodness it will still be filled with nature! Off to Jardin tomorrow!
I know I have skipped a whole entire city that I was in...Guatape..but maybe I'll share about it another time...there is very little wifi up here!
