I am way tired and looking forward to a soak in the luxurious bathtub this evening. I attempted that last night but could not get the drain to seal. That has been fixed.
We were given sessions this morning with a faith-healer? intuitive? wise woman? I'm not sure about her title. I had only one question for her, and the answer I got was basically, "You have to figure it out for yourself. You have to create your own happiness." She told me nothing that I did not learn in practitioner training or the 12-Step program. Therefore, I went about creating my own happiness with a lengthy swim (the gods seemed to know that I need the whole large pool to myself) and two margaritas.
Lanie and I went out shopping in the afternoon heat. We kept going into air-conditioned stores to cool off, but we did not buy much. My only purchase was a small wooden statue of Ganesha (to go with my small Buddha at home). We had an early supper of hummus and salads. I have finally learned not to order hot food if I am in a place with no AC, which includes most places except our hotel room.
I think somewhere along the way I promised to give a bidet a try. Cricket refers to them as a "bum gun." 😏 Up until this hotel, the apparatus was merely a hose and nozzle hooked to the toilet (think garden hose & nozzle). No thanks on that type. This hotel, however, has the built-in apparatus and even has the directions on the inside of the toilet lid. I got brave this morning and tried it. I like it! Another fear conquered--maybe this was part of "creating my own happiness." 😏
Below is some of the fine greenery around our hotel. They grow fields of marigolds here and use them in temple offering baskets.
