The retreat is over!!
hey every one, sorry, you guys are wright i have been slacking on the blog. but with good reson.
i just finished my month long meditation course here on lake atilan. and i have moved up to my friends house on the top of a huge hill over looking the lake. its such a beautiful place.
the course was an aazing experence. im so glad i did it, and stuck with it threw all the tuff times. my last 8 days of the course we did a retreat. so 8 days of silence, and 7 days of no food, just tea. most other ppl only did the 5 days that you where saposed to but i decided to do extra.
by the 7th day of not eating i could hardly walk, i was so weak and dizy. my friend racel the swiss girl i spent my month with was getting really mad at me becasue i wouldnt break the fast and eat, but i made a promis to my self and i kept it.
its incredable all i learned in this month. so many new things, so many new doors have opened to me.
i made a lot of good friendships, shared so much with a fw great ppl. and met racel, after 4 weeks of spending most me time with her while she was in silence, not hearing her speak once, was an crazy begining to a friendship. its so bizare to finaly be able to talk to her and listen to her voice. which is absultly beautiful.
so my three month visa in guatemala is almost finished, but ive thougt of coming back here to the lake, theres a cuple of small job opertunites for me, enuff to pay for my food and a place to sleep. but we will see what happens. i will probley be in el salvadore next week, it will be interesting to really start traveling again after close to three months in just two places.
so I highly recomend guatemala to anyone who is thinking of traveling. you wont be disaponed.
so lots of love to every one out there and i will try to wright more often.

D A M N right you better write more!! We want to keep track of you. Whenever you write the name of the place you're in I always look it up on a map to follow your progress. I'm sure it'll be nice for you to finally start travelling again.
I'm glad that you stuck it out, but I think I would have been worried too about fasting for that length of time. And now that you're done I can actually talk to you when you're on MSN! :P
I'm FT here at the office finally. I've had a couple of inquiries about my car and hopefully I can get it sold soon enough to pay off debt and stuff. Eventually I might be able to travel to visit you!! :) That's my goal.
Anyway, take care and write more often. You don't need to tell huge long stories, I'm sure more ppl will agree with me that it's just nice to read that you're still alive and letting us know where you are! Miss ya babe!
Love Ya Lots!
P.S. This time a year ago I was with you in Banff! Good times!
Yes, I agree with Julz. You better write more. Everyone here has been worried, we haven't heard from you. That's good your moving on to see new sights. I'm sure you'll find experiences in your travels that might not compare to where you've been staying, but they will be another learning adventure.
Glad to hear your eating again, you don't need to loose any weight.
Not much is going on around here at home. The weather has been hot and hummid. Your Dad is gone fishing for the weekend with Sam and Scott. Good for him to get away. Ryan's 19th B-Day is next week. Oh boy. Kyle has been back and forth for visits when he's not working. School is out next. Zak is finished his coarse, and is looking for work. So just bring you up to date.
Now write again soon, Love Ya, JoJo

Hey Love:
Glad to hear all is well with you and that you are getting ready to move on. I know the last month was very difficult and I am extremely proud of you for sticking with it. After this, there is nothing you won't be able to do. Nothing can stand in your way.
Enjoy yourself Mik, time is so short.
It is so hot here I don't want to go outside!
Love you lots,
Mom
