Breatheing easy

So we are finally back in the land of internet, communication and food!! The 10 day meditation course was quite an experience… it surprisingly included a lot of time meditating, some time eating and no time talking. I’m pleased to say that I managed to survive it and that despite my concerns that I may not be able to be silent, I only got bored of myself on day 7! Really glad I did it and am certainly feeling more relaxed. Peter managed to fix his back and didn’t even injure anything else during the sittings!!

Last 2 wks of holiday, so off to Laos. Taking the ‘air-con bus’ up to Nong Khai (in Thailand at the Laos border) and crossing into Laos tomorrow over the Friendship bridge. Will post pics soon!

It’s very hard to describe what is means to be in solitaire confimement for 10 days, not speaking to a single soul except your alter ego and meditate 10 hours a day. The experience is intense but since nobody has the same experience here is my take, in pics

The next two weeks we’lll disappear from the face of the Internet planet because we’ll be in a meditation center. Imagine Sally and Peter silent for 2 weeks (no talking at all!) and Sally eating only 2 times a day! Wow! Enjoy the old stories and we’ll post as soon as we’re online in Vientiane, Laos!
