Day 4- Heart Chakra- Unstruck

Stay a while! One of the many chillax spots at Villa Sumaya.

The Villa Sumaya ecolodge has made for an easy transition with its readily available chocolate, sumptuous vegetarian meals, and bounty of shaded nap spots.  It is already my 5th day here, and I feel sad to think that there are only a few days left!  One things I will not miss is the no-see-ums.... the biting gnats whose bites only begin to itch long after they have made off with a chunk of your sweet flesh. No opportunity for retribution.

Another beautiful spot to read, journal, nap, or listen to music.


There are 2 yoga classes offered daily: one more invigorating flow class at 7:30 am and a restorative at 5:00 pm.  The two TaoseƱo yoga instructors I followed out here switch off each class.

Today in addition to yoga and receiving a henna tattoo on my calf, I kayaked to San Marco- a 2 hr kayak interrupted by a nice swim (which was in all honesty an excuse for a pee break...) culminating in a delicious bag lunch panini and jaunt through the quaint hippy town. This is where Kieth,  the area's renown chocolate shaman has set up a space.  Miriam purchased 2 lbs of pure chocolate for $12, with the warning that each pound contained about 12 servings,  and consuming more than 2 servings in the course of a day would quite likely lead to an overdose.

Sweet henna tattoo done by Krystalyn.   She whipped this puppy up in a matter of minutes! 

For me it is Time to go, but please stay a while and enjoy the photos. :)
