OK, so not too far from my house is a Hot Spring/Zen Buddhist Retreat. It is off-the-grid, no electricity. On Friday morning we drove up, which includes 14 miles on a dirt road at 10 mph. The place is nice. I would call it luxury-rustic since everything was well-done, but no electricity, etc.
We had a great time. Very relaxing, spent a lot of time in the hot tubs feed from a natural mineral spring. It was a his/her on different sides except at night. We went swimming in the pool, relaxed, and went for a hike.
Ate communal meals with other guests and had some nice conversations.
We attended together a seminar on how to meditate. My W did wake up the next morning at 5:45 to meditate. I stayed in bed. She didn't meditate, complained that her leg fell asleep.
Overall a good time together. On the surface you would say we are a happy couple with no issues. I'm not so sure on the inside. I am MUCH BETTER in terms that I don't worry about my W so much and I just let her be. For my W, I wonder what she is thinking/feeling. My guess is that she goes back/forth on our relationship and other things in her life. I also guess that she remains somewhat unhappy and in some turmoil. She had to work today, and she told me she spent the day texting friends to plan next weekend. Sound more like a 20 year-old worker and not an older worker.
Anyway, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from it all for a few days. No cell phone coverage was a God-send!!!!
