Day 1 in Baja!

Successful first day here at Yandara. I would have to say the best words to describe this property would be rustic and natural.

Got the shuttle with a few of my course mates after landing in Cabo, it was about an hour to here. We had a tour and then got to choose our tents. Mines quite literally as close to the ocean as is allowed. It’s very big and I spruced it up to feel more like me/home.

We had the afternoon to ourselves to explore, some of the ladies and I explored the beach and then enjoyed a rest in the hammocks before dinner.

Everyone arrived around dinner time and we had our first meal. It was a delightful plant based meal of a warm grain dish with fresh veggies and cashews served with a salad.

After dinner we all joined together with some of the true locals who help run Yandara for Satsang. It’s a gathering of the community here to come together and express oneself and open their hearts through music. Musical yoga, who knew. It was a different experience, but enjoyable!

After Satsang we all made our way back to our tents and as I was opening mine it ripped 🤦🏼‍♀️👎🏻😱! Right along the bottom above the zipper! It was not cool, as there are many creatures running about here. They said due to extreme sun exposure and salt air the tents don’t survive as long as usual. Go figure it would be mine, night one. BUT, Luckily my new friend and across the way tent mate, Tonya sprung to action and taped up my too large (anything could come in) hole in my tent door with giant bandaids!! (So clever) We quickly went off to the office and found help getting duct tape which is now plastered all over my tent to make sure it’s sealed. I owe her one…. big time. Especially because we saw both a mouse 🐭and a snake 🐍on our way back! 😬👀

Now I’m sipping some tea, writing and trying to get used to my new bed. I’m also pondering how/if I will be brave enough to venture out to the bathroom if I dare need to go. It’s complete darkness here. (And the snakes and the bugs and the scorpions 🦂!!!!)

Well, I’ll let yall know if I survive the night, especially if I head to the bathroom at some point.

Thanks for reading about my wild adventure!
