Following the Yellow Brick Road OR my adventures in the land of "I don't know"

Some friends have suggested that I write about my time of adventure, so here is a small post with 3 days to go before departure. so many friends, students and social acquaintances have been wishing me well, and blessings abounds! I feel very excited and yet sad to leave my home for an unknown time. The cats are sure that I am not returning....they stick to me like velcro. There are boxes, bags, and piles of stuff everywhere, some of which is going to the kids, lots of it is in case I need to dress up, make up, or have yet another change of clothes, yeah right, where do I think I am going? to college, on a date, SURE! Ok, but honestly, Esalen is the place where no one, absolutely no one cares if you wear the very same thing every single day. And hardly anyone wears make up....but I do! Who knows, maybe I will stop....
