Today we moved to our next lodge, explornapo. We met with a shaman who painted our faces with saffron and then performed an energy renewal ceremony on each of us. It was absolutely amazing. Love you and miss you

Hello to our families!! We are currently playing Game of Things in the dining room and just got back from visiting a shaman who performed an energy cleansing ceremony for each one of us and painted our faces with saffron; it was absolutely magical. When we got back, we gave the 21 workers at the lodge donation bags for them and their families, an opportunity that not every group is able to experience. We are having the trip of a lifetime and can't wait to share the rest of our adventures! Love and miss you all!!
Much love, Anna, Lucy, Courtney, Molly, Reneé, Maddie
Yo yo yo I'm back with my homies. Flat Stanley couldn't make this selfie because he was chillin with the shaman (Don Julio). Shout out to the fam, how's Sadie? Having a blast here, love and miss you all - Ben Smith

Hi Bethany, did you see the Shaman today too? Sounds like everyone is having a wonderful experience. Miss you and love you. Xoxoxo.
ReplyDeleteHow amazing for you all. We can only imagine how intense a shaman ceremony would be. So glad to see your beaming faces. Keep on enjoying and experiencing. Also, happy to hear that the donations are working out. No Flat Stanley? I would think he could use some spiritual cleansing. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLucy, you look wonderful. Keep smiling.
Willow!!! We love and miss you so much! Keep the pics coming, it is so awesome to see you enjoying this journey. Jaspar loved the piranha story, Avry has officially stolen your Netflix spot, and True has grown a few inches since Friday! I also have a message from Cait - "Ahhhh yay Willow you're the best.....I tried posting on the blog but it didn't show up hAhaha I'm terrible with techno, lots of love."
ReplyDeleteWell, we cannot wait to hear all about your trip, love you!

ReplyDeleteHannah Lou!! I miss you!! I was at Kenmore Square yesterday on my way to the train station at Yawkey - watching all the marathon and Red Sox fans. It was pretty exciting seeing the runners from the train - and nice to see BU so close to all the fun. You all look amazing and it looks like you are enjoying every minute! Keep smiling everyone!
ReplyDeleteSounds fun although I am sorry to hear about your knee. I hope you brought the brace. If not just try to take it easy for the remainder of your trip. Be safe, and I love you Alicia.
