Gim Apolo

Gim Apolo is what it says on the door to the gym that I work out in here in San Cristobal de las Casas. This is my third visit here & they know me at the gym. It costs me 70 pesos to work out for a month. It is a lot different from the fitness centre at Kitsilano Community Centre, where I work out at home. For one, the man who owns the gym has made a lot of the equipment himself. It is a bit too easy to get greasy from the equipment, but otherwise, it works.

I received several bits of news today that I will share with you. My son Adad & daughter-in-law Linda are coming back to Vancouver a week early on Dec. 21, the same day I fly to San Francisco. However my sweet son has promised to reserve some time to spend with me after the 27th, when I return to Vancouver.

The next bit of news is that my housemate Varya has been accepted to Langara's brand new Film Arts course which begins in January. She is excited & I am sure it will further enliven my already lively house.

And finally, from the news front, last week two tantric teachers spent three days in my bedroom. The day before their wedding, the day of, & the day after. I am not sure what residual energy that might impart into my futon & what of it might rub off when I return to that bed, but I am looking forward to checking it out once I am home. I will keep you posted.

Now I am going to go to have a meeting with Alejandra's sister Maru. She is opening an after school day care kind of a place in January & I volunteered to train her teachers in some good things they can do with the kids. I am looking forwardto that & to the two workshops that I will probably give while I am here. Maybe even three, if we can organize something in Mexico City with the help of Clay Hastings & his Alejandra.

Hasta luego, abrazos y besos, y un titipuchal de amor,
