There's so many more things getting a discovery here that I just found.
You know what other little terrorists?
I'm sure there's some other things that we haven't found it.
It's actually pretty huge.

I believe there's an east side of the villages.
Well, so or the villa.
So really excited.
Teoh, check out the rest of the scene here.
Very, very beautiful, beautiful area.
So, yeah, today we're probably just going to relax around the villa and enjoy the pool.
The views many Smithson in the lake a little bit, Uh, a couple earlier.
Doing that this morning is actually a chilly morning.
So now is actually really great.
It's about 75 degrees in the morning was about 65 degrees, but not that cold.
Surprisingly, what you know about bag on.
Then we had a yoga session.
So now we have breakfast.
What?
The package comes free breakfast buffet, lunch buffet and dinner buffet.
And, um, you could also order chicken or fish with extra cross, and you just have to or that ahead of time.
So why?
Why is $3 a day here?
Although it doesn't work very well, but it's OK.
It's not like I was really dependent on it while I was here.
It is a place to just relax and not be bothered by technology, but yes, I'm gonna test out the WiFi.
Tracy.
How well it works.
I also brought my sky room personal WiFi hot spot that seems to be working on an office.
Well, I think it's just such a remote area.
They're just not gonna get a very strong signal around here.
Way going down to these are all the steps I have to take every time whatsoever.
Carrie, here it's different since flounder That's us.
Their pool area.
Okay, is my last day at the Esa Maya.
It was such an incredible stay.
It was relaxing.
It was educational.
It was bonding.
It was everything I imagined.
And more It was Oh, spiritually.
Of course, since I was a little retreat, everybody here was so great.
The staff is wonderful.
The tour that we had with Bolton Tours Hetero Waas.
Excellent.
Our room was excellent.
The stairs, though you do have to consider the stairs.
Because although we had privacy and we were, you know, up in a great area with a great view with, you know, the hammock in the balcony, you do have to go up more than 100 steps that was challenging every day.
We did get used to a little bit, but just keep in mind that you have to go up and down those stairs at least three times a day.
So I don't know if I'll do that next time if I come back here, but you know, does something to keep in mind.
And our yoga sessions were great.
Our teacher's name was Emma.
So if you could be a semi a highly recommend him.
I was a beginner and my friend Waas advanced.
She knew how Teoh, you know, going between for the both of us, so that was awesome.
Views while you're doing yoga here are just stunning just to look out on this beautiful lake in the mountains.
And, um what else?
Oh, the vegetarian food was great.
Every day, something was different.
Another thing about our who, Even though that tree was cool going through a bathroom, we did have bugs and ants come into the bathroom a lot.
So we always had to cover a lot of things or put away a lot of our things.
So that's just something to think about.
But we are in nature, so I think it's just expected Teoh expect some bugs.
We wish we could have explored more towns, but we also wanted to enjoy the SME itself because it's such a lovely property.
And we wanted to enjoy the views and relax ation at the pool and, you know, talking with some of the yogis here they were.
Some of them were, like, really friendly, especially Nexia.
She is leading a yoga retreat here, and she is so, so sweet.
So thank you.
Next up for being so lovely to us.
Um, everything that I mean, you know, I highly recommend via semi on Lake A Taelon.
It's excellent.
It's, You know, if you want relaxation, you could do that.
If you went a little bit of adventure, you can go off to some different towns and explore.
There's lots of different towns.
The main ones, I think, are San Marcos, which is known to be a hippie town.
Um, San Juan, which we went to you, which was great.
And, um, there Santiago, which is a little bit further away on a hotel where we came from.
That's where we took the boat from point a child to hear after we got off the shadow.
What else is there?
There is a San Pedro, I think a couple other towns, but those that, like, mostly the main ones and they have great markets to Okay, so I got a go down, eat some breakfast and head on out of here.
