Bored Skydivers

Windy, tempestuous days at Skydive Houston. It feels like the whole Winter has been winded out here in Texas, and hence not much jumping has been going on. This equates to a bunch of bored skydivers.

Today we decided to go and hang out with the Wernigs in downtown Houston. We visited: Hermann Park, Rothko Chapel with a quick pitstop at the Zoo. Rothko Chapel is considered a sacred non-denominational place of contemplation and worship open to all, 365 days a year, where the experience and understanding of all traditions are encouraged and…

Okay, I’m a self-admitted pack-rat. Not just in real life, but digitally as well.

Yoga Poses with a Unique Partner

Capturing the beautiful early morning light of sunrise, slaDE~ and I took some fun photos recreating yoga poses where the railing was used as a prop / ‘partner’. I used creative influence with some of the stretches suggested by Kirsten in yesterday’s yoga class (Ak’Bol Yoga Retreat, Belize), fully envisioning a future partner yoga / yogaFLIGHT class…

Yoga by the Beach

Early morning sunrise was so beautiful and worth waking for at 5:30am. The ocean sat quietly still with hardly a breeze to blow away the clouds embracing the sunrise.

Nesting and Settling

slaDE and I joined our friends David and Kelly from KittyHawk North Carolina for breakfast, after we packed up our belongings. Today was our departure day from Pedro’s Inn after a lovely 2.5 week stay. We feel very blessed that we were gifted with such inexpensive accommodation (the equivalent of our months rent in Calgary)…
