Getting Closer


Well, I have my placement for Dharamsala. I will be working with the Gamru Women's Group - a group of 40-50 year old women - I will be working with ongoing projects, teaching basic computer skills, and some English language work (any or all of the above and whatever else they may want).

I am actively meeting others from the group starting at the same time online through emails. We are quite a diverse group (from B.C., Australia, etc.)

I have also set my reservations in Japan for the closing week of my trip - I wanted to stay in a Ryokan (kind of like a Japanese B& B- with tatami, futon, and bath)...they are also quite less expensive. I have found one near the Ginza district - centrally located - though I will stay the last night in one out by the Narita Airport - to make departure less hectic.

I am packing, and repacking.

My last day of work was Thursday the 4th and then I went straight into the Driftwood Players 50th gala - it was a good time had by all. Picture is of me running the spotlight for the show! I love this group!

I am trying to take daily yoga classes - I really do enjoy how they center me and clear my mind from all the "stuff" it accumulates - and there is a lot to accumulate in these closing days.

I am happy that my daily "to do" lists get shorter and shorter.

Hope to blog with a photo at least once more before departure next Thursday.
