Moments of Grace…
Posted by Desert Diva on Sunday, January 13th, 2008
When I was in Puerto Vallarta recently, I had a “quiet day.” I spent the first part of the day photographing downtown along the Malecón (a seaside boardwalk). There were amazing bronze sculptures as well as people crafting “magic” out of sand on the beach.
By mid afternoon I found my way to the Hotel Krystal where I had a seventy-five minute “relaxing” massage that apparently included something called Reiki. I was explaining the process to my therapist (yes, I see one still) and she told me that what I was explaining to her were Reiki techniques. My massage therapist Cuca was a magician.
Afterwards, I walked back to the ship (only a ten minutes or so journey) and watched the sunset from my verandah (while photographing of course). Happy and relaxed, I joined my new found Canadian friends for a delicious dinner. I know I will hold the memory of that day in my heart forever.

Looks and sounds wonderful.
I missed out on the massage at the Krystal last time. I won’t make that mistake again.
It sounds like a lovely day.
love the birds in flight in your shot….Canadian friends are just super……
Wonderful picture. Goes with the relaxing day you had. I did reiki a very long long long time ago and even took a class on doing reiki level 1. Interesting things I’ve dropped by the wayside and should pick up again. Thanks for the reminder.
nice picture you got there. looks very relaxing.
I’m going for my monthly reiki massage this Monday and cannot wait! My massage therapist-Frances is indeed a magician. I’ve been going for close to three years now and cannot imagine my life without reiki. I’m glad you had a chance to partake in such luxury. As women we need to do more of such. It’s been years since I’ve been to Puerto Vallarta, thanks for the reflections.
