Bikram is Back!

Well, Friday night we ended up having a lecture, figures!! It was a great Halloween though. Everyone in yoga class sang Happy Birthday to me and I had a great yoga class! So many people came up to me all day long, wishing me a happy day, it was truly special! Then for the evening yoga class, Barb and I wore witches hats into class. I will post photos when I get home. There were so many people who came up with some really cool costumes, hand-made. One guy rolled toilet paper around his whole body, so he looked like a mummy! Lots of people wore black and orange and they took a group photo of everyone. It was fun stuff!
Saturday night a bunch of us went for dinner at a beautiful restaurant overlooking the Acapulco bay. The food was fab and I had chocolate covered strawberries for dessert, yummmmmmmmmy!! Then we watched the cliff divers that are famous in Acapulco. 3 of them attend the yoga classes so we were able to cheer them on as they climbed, then jumped off this jagged, super high cliff! It was beautiful and amazing!! The hotel had a beautiful alter set up for Dias dos Muertos, with lots of treats for the dead coming to visit their loved ones. It was full of drink (of course) and Mexican sweet bread, grapes, lots of marigolds and candles. What a beautiful tradition they have! They served hot chocolate and sweet bread to all of us guests, which was delicious!
All in all, my birthday experience here in Mexico was truly memorable! I couldnt have asked for more! Thank you to everyone that remembered me on my day!
Bikram is here and we get to go back to the torture of his super-tough class and long, late night lectures/Indie films! I'm ready, I have my diet Pepsi on hand full of caffeine to ignite my energy, so I can at least keep my head off my lap! Cant wait...................Namaste!
