H made is safely last night. i went to the airport to meet him. it was so exciting. we have been waiting 8 years to be in India together..
we had a nice day.. but it's so unbelievably hot and humid and lots of mosquitoes here. so, we are wanting to leave soon. well, i guess i have more an opinion on it.. and i want to leave soon... usually i like hot, but it's over 90 and trying to do stuff in this heat and humidity is really hard.
today, we bought a cell phone. H wants to be able to get a hold of his work if need be. he left a big project and they may need him. we also went to yoga. it was our least favorite class to date (j and i thought this). it was super hot, so many mosquitoes and the teacher didn't stop pacing (really quickly) the entire class, it made me really unsettled... and her too..
the three of us are trying to figure out wha to do next. H and I might go on a backwater trip and then go back to varkala for a few days and maybe we can study again with that awesome teacher and go to his village and have his body work (ayurvedic) instructor work on my very very sore hip...
the heat is making me pessimistic... ugh... i know a lot of you reading this are in the thros of winter. so, sorry for complaining.
i am excited about this next leg of the journey. J and I remenesced yesterday and sort of acknowledged that the trip was changing... and now we are here on the new path.
India is so fascinating....i love her she is invigorating and somehow soothing to my soul. Life is here in your face and it is such a wonderful change of pace to not be in the middle of american fear. i always find my travels a nice refresher to my daily life. j asked me the other day if when i travel i ever think about how i want to do things differently when i get home.. and it was so funny because a lot of times that is what i do when i am traveling. how i will be more relaxed at home and how i want to be more balanced and i will cook more and take more time for myself and try to slow down and not take work so seriously etc..... of course it's so easy to think of how i will chill out when i get home, when i am chilling out somewhere else. sometimes it lasts a week when i get home and sometimes it lasts a month, but at least i will try and i will continue to try....and maybe someday it will all come together and i will do all of those things.
life is wonderful and india is exciting... off to eat with my buddy and my hubby....
