I was given the option of a dorm bed or a shared double at the ashram and decided to upgrade to the dorm! My thoughts were if I was in a double with a winger I would be trapped but in a dorm there would be more 'space.' Besides sharing four bathrooms with about 36 women, the dorm option turned out to be okay! I shared my section with Jo who I met at reception and Emily was across from us. The three of us developed quite a nice friendship and it felt like I was back in university again except Jo talked me to sleep instead of Tracey T! Tracey, it took her two nights to realize she was talking to me and I was fast asleep!
The mosquitos were quite bad here so I quickly got used to sleeping under the dirty, blood stained net they gave me.... The only other down fall was cold water showers and when I say cold water, I mean cold water.... it goes like this; hold your breath, duck under the shower and get wet. Turn the water off and lather up from head to toe then suck in your breath, turn the water on and get under. After about 30 seconds you slowly let your breath out to get the remaining soap off! My head got really itchy after a couple of days so my guess is the shampoo did not quite get fully out!!!

Blood stained nets, ice water for showers... You are CA-RA-ZEE.
Hope you are having a fab time. Missing you.
Hey Tracy....wow - blood stained nets and cold showers! Makes creepy crawly things at home and chilly nights at Cactus seem not so bad, eh? Ah, what you wouldn't give for a spiked frapp right now,.... ;)
I've loved reading your updates. Sounds like you're having a great time and not missing the snow at all!!
Happy New Year!
Cheers,
Mary
What an amazing adventure you've had! Glad to know you had someone to talk you to sleep...but of course I could never be replaced! I hope you have a bit of time at home before having to return to "normal". Safe travels and see if you can't get yourself a flight to Halifax on the venture home....oh wait, never mind, we've had so many storms that you don't want to be coming here...you may never get back out!
