TUESDAY JULY 25

I had a really good day by the pool with the kids. I had some stomach trouble but tums took care of it. I played with Hunter for awhile and it was great. Scott had to go take care of some business. I was surprised because the two have become inseparable. Hunter is so cute. She has become quite a climber.

At the Monastery in the cloud. The English monk showed up at 5am and took Matthew and Jean to breakfast. After that he showed them where the bathroom was again. It is a big place with lots of rooms that all look similar. Then he took them to a room with about 30 monks mediating. And the 3 mediated for awhile. After that they went to the training room where their two training monks where and he left them there. The training monks gave them sticks and started their days training with them. At end of the day Matthew and Jean were very happy and had their training schedule.
