Wow Sorry to all my followers for not keeping you up to date.
Well Dominica I'm still here things have really shifted. I have moved back into Jerry's as my place was a bit too expensive and i was gonna sublet an apartment for a friend and his landlord went a bit cra cra on me so moving forward. My mom was here visiting and it was so much fun wish she could have stayed longer. I have met a lovely boy named Ghandi who is my breakdancer in crime...and boyfriend. He's super sweet and more aware than most people I have met from here
EVen got to do some energy work on and he and his body were super open to it!!!
We practice nearly everyday together and we have a perfomrance at the prom coming up next weekend. Yoga classes are no longer on the rootop but in a lovely covered space 2 minutes from where i live. I just had 2 new students this week. And it's so cool cause now most people when they come once they are hooked and buy 10 classes at once.
I started teaching basic african dance classes and have a drummer who plays for it once a week. I am doing a cardio hip hop class and then my kids hip hop class continues every Saturday. I teach them at the Alliance Francaise and with the word of mouth and my ad in the paper should be getting lots of students.
my visit with mom we went to the east side of the island staying at my friends place OH LA LA. http://web.mac.com/ohlaladominica/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html
Check it out so amazing and beautiful. We hiked to Vicotoria Falls which was absolutley stunning. I will be uploading photos once i get them from her... hint hint mom
Yeah staying at Jerry's well he's doing remodleing on the place so it's noisy and dusty but i'm not home too often with all my classes and dancing. I'm finally saving money in hopes to go to Mali this winter for the drum and dance festival....
Mangoes are high in season and so delicious and sweet there is a plethora everywere next is avacodos.
;i found some new breakin shoes similar to chucks and yellow only spent the whole day looking for them along with a sushi restaurant i finally found yesterday that was very good. expensive but so damn good.
It's really the wee little things that get me excited. I had Ghandi bring me a pau pau (papaya) the other day it ws the size of a melon and so ripe and sweet.
ok enough computer time today. I will be updating more freqeuently so keep posted.
