Mysore Diary  Jan.3

The bed coffee arrived on time! 7:30 and how sublime! No, it’s not good offee. I hate to tell you- it’s instant! But sugar makes it delicious.
I am consuming too much sugar here. When I order tea at my favorite cafe, it comes with sugar in it.  And if I order a cafe latte I add sugar or it is tasteless.  I forgot to photograph my breakfast this morning to show you an Indian breakfast but I got a picture of last night’s dinner from Tina’s Cafe.

IMG_3338We walked there- a mile each way and we may return tonight. I’m tired. I guess the massage wore me out!  When we arrived at the breakfast cafe, our friend Vanya was there. She’s the one from Montreal- I’ve got a picture of her with balloons.

I can’t believe how she and I have so much in common. Last night when we were walking home from Tina’s Cafe, I heard someone calling my name and I thought- nobody knows me here- but it was her- Vanya- and she was on the street in front of the place where she is staying- which happened to be a place we had originally signed up for and changed our minds. We went in and shared our bag of tangerines- which are incredible here and then another roommate appeared. She is a yogi from Poland named Agatha and she asked if we are Vanya’s’ parents!
This age thing is getting to me. I am glad to say I am not the oldest yogi here. I have seen a few with pure white hair, which always makes me feel relieved. But I do feel self conscious around all the 20 something’s. Just feel over the hill- like my days are numbered.  At least I am living a dream !
It was a little sad saying good bye to my massage girl friends today after my last massage with them. 7 massages feels like enough . All the oil in my hair is a little tiresome to wash out  and of course I have to take a nap afterwords- but what else do I have to do here?  No yoga today ( never on Saturday) but we have it at the main Shala tomorrow at 6:15 am. The led class, which I am So looking forward to. Hope I can get my bed coffee before I run out the door, I am a 10 minute walk to the Shala.  And late afternoon I have a date for a healing transformation . I hope it works!($50).
I’m trying to get Allynn to do a past life regression ($50) with the same guy. So we are leading the life of Riley. And enjoying it. The weather is perfectly wonderful- 70’s all day and lots of sun shine. Allynn is making friends all over the place!

FullSizeRenderIt is fun to be a part of his entourage! And I get to take pictures! Cheerio and  let’s talk tomorrow!

Love, Annie
