_The Empanada_.</h2>
<br>
<h2>On the down side I found the WiFi to be pitiful.</h2>
<h3>Often I was given excuses as to why it did not work</h3>
<h4>but I learned I could walk to the restaurant across</h4>
<h1>the street and easily pick up a WiFi</h1>
<h2>but I would have to buy something to use it.</h2>
<h4>After about 24 hours of the inconsistent Wifi</h4>
<h3>I gave up on writing blogs altogether.</h3>
<h1>The first night I stayed in the dorm all alone.</h1>
<h3>It was not beautiful and the adjacent bathroom was not clean.</h3>
<h4>The second night I stayed in a private room that overlooks the main street.</h4>
<h1>This room was very nice and clean.</h1>

<h2>I really liked that the small room.</h2>
<br>

<br>
<h1>It was the perfect size</h1>
<h3>to be really cozy without feeling crowded.</h3>

<br>
<h3>Then I was moved down the road and up a</h3>
<h1>steep, dirt and rocky road.</h1>
<h2>It was the end of the path.</h2>
<h3>In my mind, I was being led to a room somewhere</h3>
<h4>but once my escort and I reached the house at the top of the hill</h4>
<h2>it quickly became clear that I am to have</h2>
<h3>an entire house with a nice sized covered porch</h3>
<h1>all to myself...for 3 nights!</h1>

<h2>The only catch is there is no WiFi.</h2>
<h3>Thatโs not my favorite situation but, โokayโ</h3>
<h4>the Universe has brought me to this point for some reason so,</h4>
<h1>Iโm just gonna flow with it.</h1>
<h2>Quickly, I made myself at home.</h2>
<h3>I pulled down one of the ugly hammocks on the deck</h3>
<h4>and replaced it with my own awesome hammock for two.</h4>
<br>
https://s26.postimg.org/5mol9uvjt/File_003_49_1.jpg
<br>
<h1>Yeah!</h1>
<h4>A hammock to sit and sleep in along with great weather for it.</h4>
<h2>At my community in Texas, the Garden of Eden @gardenofeden,</h2>
<h3>for the entire three years I lived there I happily slept in a hammock.</h3>
<h1>This is a perfect situation to eat the</h1>
<h3>**psychedelic mushrooms** I brought with me from</h3>
<h1>_Huautla de Jimenez_.</h1>
<h2>Talk about manifestation, I totally visualized</h2>
<h4>and put into intention an isolated, private place</h4>
<h2>to take a little mushroom journey.</h2>
<h1>Like magic, here I am.</h1>
