This morning when I was asked how my day was yesterday, I replied 'ordinary', but then as I described what I did yesterday we realized that as far as ordinary days go it was pretty extraordinary!
It was a little bit spoiled by a judgmental stranger on facebook insulting me for riding a donkey up the cliff. She's probably fat, then I would feel sorry for the donkey.
I loved my donkey ride. It made me laugh and laugh. I teach that making others happy makes you happy so that must be a very happy donkey. And if that is where those donkeys are in their karmic journey I am sure they are working of vast amounts of karmic debt.
Yesterday when I woke up there was a red orb hanging in the sky outside my window. I dashed ouside to feel the morning unfold practicing salute to the sun in the cool dawn air on the yoga deck. This morning I got up before the sun so I was ready to photograph it.
After a simple breakfast of watermelon, muslie with Greek yogurt and toast with strawberry jam (as my vegemite is in Rome) I had a Thai yoga massage. It released all the tension in my body from the long flight. I loved it so much I had another one this morning. I'm putting it on my list to learn how to do. Santorini Holistic Massage, if you are ever here.
I walked all the way, in the heat up to Thira town to discover it's not very nice so I walked back again and stopped at a restaurant I picked out on the way.
The excellent waiter helped me choose traditional Greek food. I had lamb with festa and capsicum and chick pea salad with purple onion. It was FABULOUS! I was stuffed. I had 2 beers too - Red Donkey beer 😊. They were so nice, they gave me my desert for free, a perfect little baklava.
When I got back to the hostel I relaxed and swam by the pool then I decided I was tired so I went to bed for my nap. I liked my little room. They only have one private room. The yoga teacher told me always yoga teachers stay in that room! I had to use a stool to climb up into the bed.
After I woke up it was time for yoga class as evening fell and the heat of the day subsided.
I was still full from my enormous lunch and didn't need any dinner. I met a lovely girl from Australia who didn't want to go out either so we spent the rest of the night talking.
The extraordinary stories of the people I meet never cease to amaze me. She had meningitis last December in Germany and nearly died. It left her deaf in one ear. Yet here she is travelling around the world and going back to study soon in Germany. She even said the words of one one of my favorite life mottos "you can't live your life in fear."
