Day 0 - Arrived, and start tomorrow..
Well I’m here - http://www.madhyamaka.org/ and although I arrived later than expected, they had saved me a lovely home cooked meal.. and there were lots of hugs.. what a great start! - so kind..
I’m not sure of the routine yet, but it looks as though there are four sessions per day, much silence, and lots of time to contemplate and apply the meditations.. something about sessions at 4:30 and 7:30.. yikes.. hope that’s not 04:30 in the morning.. 
The meditations appear to centre around what’s known as Lamrim - the path to enlightenment.. 21 meditations in all, which cover the essential elements of all the Buddha’s teachings - although I’ll probably feel embarrased at my ignorance once I actually understand what I’ll be doing for the next month.. well, early bed for me, and more details and reflections as we get started tomorrow..
Paul.
