Joining the library

Having asked at the library about joining up, I went today with my 2 photos and electricity bill in my name and completed the paperwork.

I thought that would be it and I could start reading. But no, I have to have a current resident co-sign the documents, to guarantee that I am a trustworthy person and not about to abscond with their at least 10 year old books! Another job for the helpful Arturo, or maybe one of my yoga friends.

There was a guest teacher giving a class on "restorative Yoga" today at my fav Yoga From the Heart School. She is about my age and here giving a 6-week special course at 2 yoga schools and combining that with a holiday, and as we chatted after the class she told me she has met a really nice Mexican musician and is thinking of extending her stay. I think we could become friends, so I hope it works out for her. That's a good sign, maybe there's a chance of lurve here for me too?

It was almost weird to do a yoga class here in English! My favourite teacher here, Melanie, comes originally from Texas, so she can hint in English if I miss something completely, but I usually do just fine. Mel always relates her class to local traditions, she starts by telling us about that day's Mayan meaning. For example yesterday was about the sun, so we did exercises that related to the solar plexus. Her 90-minute class always flies by and I come out feeling refreshed & centred. I had some quesadillas at the little restaurant there afterwards, and a great juice called Rainbow - it had apple, grape, orange, pineapple & 2 other fruits I couldn't identify but was absolutely delicious.

I'm starting to get back into my rhythm here. Just need to get to the beach for a massage.
