After a 6 hour drive from Blythe, CA to Patagonia, AZ, I reached the Tree of Life! I'm in awe of the beauty, the mountains, the spiritual presence. I am tired and shaky from 2 days of driving. Had lunch and dinner which was amazing delicious healthy raw (uncooked) organic food, some of which is grown here. Being that I was really hungry, I think I ate too much and have a sick stomach plus the heat -- it is more than 100 degrees!

The campus is rustic, the rooms are simple, small but adequate, only ceiling fans - no AC. Went to a class on how to grow your own sprouts which was interesting. I"m happy to have a private room for the next 3 days :)
