I am cuddled up in a gorgeous room under a nice down comforter. Outside the canal is rushing and the skywell of stars is pouring into this ancient silence. When I got here a sweet honeybee lit onto my luggage as we opened the gate; the best of omens to this humble beekeeper. Already in awe at this incredible place, its sheer vastness, the mountains that look as if they are going straight into the sky with agriculture pinning itself to the sides like the pattern on a big Mamas apron. I am eating pineapple for dinner, papaya and avocado too. This afternoon, the garden outside my door was buzzing with pollinators, laden with fruits and full of lovely people bouncing babies on the knee. I am looking forward to the morning and walking to the Sunday market, which is promising to be epic and, according to my host, full of jungle and mountain foods. I will buy potatoes because there are about 800 varieties to try! I am so glad I am here. I am safe, comfortable, staying in a beautiful and protected sanctuary and getting ready to learn from Jerry and meet his bees on Monday. But for now, deep snuggles into this cozy bed as I sleep off three days of hard travel Med>PDX>SF>LA>San Salvador> Peru>this moment. I am full of love and gratitude that I am here. Feeling blessed.
