| Beach Bliss at Akumal 2013 |

| Welcome Dinner |
Another amazing trip to the Yucatan is about to draw to a close.
Goddesses have enjoyed the beauty and serenity of a private home on the beach at Akumal, south of Cancun on the Caribbean Ocean. As you can see Connie and Beatriz prepared another fresh sumptuous Welcome Dinner. Goddesses have been walking among the treasures the ocean has delivered to the beach.
On site, Gustavo has brought his gift of healing touch and massage while Melissa has offered Salsa lessons. Of course a fall Goddess trip is incomplete without a trip to celebrate the Day of the Dead at Xcaret.
As is the tradition of Traveling Goddesses, we had our own private ceremony to remember our loved ones who have dies. This sacred time was at once beautifully touching, reverent, funny and laced with meaning. Connie wrote, "we could have gone on all night." The experience will spring to life over and over again in our individual and collective stories of this trip.
This sacred ceremony brought into the bright light of our lives just how we U. S. Americans rarely give ourselves and our loved ones the gift of sharing our love, caring and compassion in ritual and story when we are together in this life.
Internet access is once again limited in the Yucatan. On the one hand this is perfect! We cannot be distracted by email and websites and blogs. On the other hand we really wanted to post pictures and stories as the week progressed. Since this was not possible, we will add stories and photos in the coming weeks to give you a more vibrant glimpse into all that has been the Fall 2013 Goddess Trip to Akumal!
You may be wondering how this post managed to get onto the Internet since it has been mostly down. Two emails did get through to me with photos and brief descriptions into the richness of this trip. From Saint Paul, Minnesota where the fall trees are brilliant reds and golds, and the air is fall crisp and fresh I have tried to convey here a taste of what is happening in Akumal. And it goes without saying, I wish I was THERE TOO!
