I'm spending a few weeks in Texas with my mom and other family members before I take off to India. We went to East Texas for the weekend, my sister is coming to Houston today. I'm getting all the comfort food I could ever watn. Yummy!!!!!
I'm staying busy getting my visa to India. It was a pain in the butt to get it and I was denied the first request because of proof of residency issues. I'll be leaving for N India in August.
Had dinner at Houston's Restaurant, an old stomping ground over 20- years ago. Flirted a bit with a couple of older Texas gentlemen who bought me two tasty and expensive margaritas. I had forgotten how much friendlier people are in Texas. I could actaully see myself living here again. For years I have said I will never move back.
Signed up at 24-hour Fitness for a trail membership. Attended Zumba dance classes with mom yesterday. Whew...........that was fun and a great sweaty workout.
Off to the gym!

Final Guatemala Blog Entry
A lot has happened in the last month. I had 10 exciting days in San Marcos Laguna, around lake Atitlan Guatemala. The trip by shuttle van was spectacular, probably one of the most awe inspiring views I have ever seen looking down at the lake. A beautiful area, tropical without the heat. It rained everyday, torrential!
I was robbed again. I woke at 5:30 am to two men in my room. Luckily I scared them away by screaming and they were only able to take some earrings. They came through an open window. It took me a couple of days to recover and I changed hotels immediately. It took a lot of guts to stay there; I was tempted to just leave the country that day. I feel like I have a couple of guardian angels on my shoulders and it's not time for me to depart this earth just yet.
I met some interesting people and took some Reiki Classes as part of my continuing quest to learn more about massage, spirituality and energy work. After the classes I felt lighter and energetic, more aware and colors were brighter.
I returned to Antigua for a few days before leaving back to the USA. Celebrated my 53birthday with friends at Occelot, a dive bar! I lost my cute little roof top terrace apartment and stayed at a gorgeous guest house instead. We had to speak Spanish at the dinner table. Urgghhhhhhhhh.
My neighbor Tom took me to Welton for my last night in town. Volcano Fuego erupted with its greatest fury in almost five months. Just for me!
Bye Antigua, I will miss you! Hello India..........
