It is finally sunny today. We have had days of torrential downpour followed by sweltering heat. The cicadas in the jungle are going crazy with their songs before and after the downpour and mosquitoes are everywhere. Fortunately, they don't seem to like me too much. For a while, there was just one living within my mosquito net. It reminded me of Rusty saying "If you don't think you can make a difference as just one person, think of a single mosquito." He was right. I have several cute little geckos in my cabin and I love to hear their songs.

I've travelled half the island on my motorbike or by boat. It is easeful and free to ride through the tropical jungle - even in the rain. I can't believe that five weeks have already passed. We have six more to go. This week, we finished the 4th Chakra. We're learning so much, that I can't really convey in words all there is: physiology, psychology, anatomy, science, vibrational energy frequencies, creative expression...the list goes on. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world to be here now.

The female yoga instructor has a boat that she sails around the world with her husband and child. We got along famously. They may need crew from July through Sept. to go from Australia to Indonesia. If so, there is my plan. I will keep my fingers crossed, but am also relishing the fact that I have no plan. Life is delicious right now.

I think of home often and wonder how you're all doing. I've been visited now by two buddies from SF and ran into another. The lovely flow of life that San Franciscans live fits nicely with this island. Like a second home for the community.

I'm as pleasant as punch right now. Learning a lot every day. Perhaps when it has all percolated, I can share details. For now, it is brewing...
