Newly Clean and Pure

| Mexico

Last night a lovely woman I met while traveling in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas regaled me with horror stories of “Mayan Purification Ceremonies” that seem much more like coerced sexual trauma – rocks in your undies, humming mouths in your crotch, hands all over your body, and that’s just the beginning. Naturally, when Sarah and I today went to the famed church San Juan Bautista in Chamula, we signed right up for a purifying cleanse with a curandero called Domingo.

I was the most skeptical and least comfortable of the three of us – Peggy from Ireland, Sarah from England, and me – and, honestly, if Peggy hadn’t wanted to have one, I’d still be the dirty little girl you’ve become accustomed to.

But let’s start from the beginning …

On the road again …

| Ecuador

well, kids, I suppose the majority of you know how that “falling in love with the doctor dude” went … oh brother.

anyway, now that that has been over for months and months, it’s about time i left cuenca, and ecuador, and started a new segment in my american adventures.

what’s that? where will that take me, you say? what does it all mean, you ask?

silly rabbits. you know that even if i had a plan, it would change =) but just know that it’s on the table and things are afoot.

in the meantime, i visited other parts of ecuador, peru, and mexico and will be updating this blog with some adventure tales in the days and weeks to come.

but first, let’s mini-vacay in the USA!
