We can’t find a working ATM machine or bank in this town so Annie’s retail therapy is missing it’s quota…. No withdrawals yet that I can notice.
We took a Reiki class yesterday… and found that if we take the next 2 we’ll be certified…. Wow… just what I was looking for?
One evening we saw an Indian dance. I wanted to video record it and the camera guys were set up in the four or fifth row. I was early (before the crowds), so I took a front row seat. Soon some guy in orange came to me and bowed… I tipped my hat to him. Later I noticed many people approaching him… bowing, placing their hands on his feet and then touching their heads. The front rows seemed to be reserved for the gurus and saints. At the end of the performance when all theses saints and gurus joined to the dancers on stage to bless them, I decided I better stay in my seat.
We also took a workshop in Japanese Shinto Yoga…. It gave Annie a number of deep laughs – it was fun.
At the end of the workshop the Japanese group got on stage for a photo session. One of the Japanese teachers asked me to join them on stage. I thought they wanted a group photo with a variety of yogis from around the world, so I joined in. It seemed I was the only Westerner to go up with them. Annie was taking a photo of them and wondered how I got in…. Annie has given me permission to take out my balloons… but not for another couple days. I’m getting the withdrawals….. but I still seem to have irreverent fun.
