so i've had a terribly relaxing morning. slept until 7:30, stayed in bed until 9:30. haven't done any yoga - but i do plan to. i want to keep with my practice. in the past 2 weeks i've done about 18 yoga classes - an incredible record for me as far as exercise is concerned (well, since my ballet days). i'm feeling really strong now and pretty healthy despite my slide into eating bad foods again (had french fries and paneer masala last night, poached eggs on toast this morning).
so i have been trying to re-train my hands to use silverware once again. and the funny thing, you're only meant to use your right hand when eating. this is "the clean hand". you always give or take things with the right hand. the left hand is your toilet hand, and therefore unclean. but let's be honest.... i use my right hand....
anyhow. it's a sunny day here. we had rain last night, so it's a little muddy now. there's not much in the way of beaches... the water is very high right now. but i may go down later anyway and try to find some rocks to sit on. there are only a few shops and a few restaurants open now. we've got one restaurant which is going to make brownies at our request. v. exciting.
i did have a good time at the ashram, there were some very cool people there. and most of them had the same thoughts as me about the whole ashram experience. we liked the yoga, the controlled feedings had their benefit, but the chanting and lectures were bit much. on friday when susie and i left there were also 3 other people leaving. and many of the others were planning to leave the next day, since there would be only a few people left. (there was about 10 of us doing the yoga vacation)
so i'm de-compressing a little, relaxing my schedule and weaning myself back onto eating animal products. i think today i'll have a beer at dinner. and more french fries. :)
