First Sunday in Ireland

BlogPostSunday9Aug09
This morning (Saturday) I attended my first yoga class at Kinsale Yoga Center – thought Friday was Saturday and walked over but found out I was off by a day. (Those of you who have been reading the postings will understand what I mean by that.) Anyway, it was a very good experience. Instructor’s technique very similar to Stephanie Keach’s at Asheville Yoga Center where I did my training. So, I felt right at home. At the same time, Rose introduced me to some new asanas (not unusual for instructors to prefer different ones) and a couple of new adjustments that will be very useful to me and my students. My plan now is to attend classes Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings unless something more exciting comes up.
The rain ended about 9:00 and it’s been another absolutely beautiful day! I just hope it holds until Jim gets here Tuesday evening. Tourists are strolling by, in and out of the gate to St. Multose, and some are photographing my apartment! The covered well out front and the yellow door, red bench, etc. make quite a lovely photo. So, they are either photographing my apartment or occasionally coming up on the stairs and photographing the church from my landing! Either way, it’s fun watching them enjoy what I am enjoying.
Sunday morning 10:00
Church across the street at 8:00 - amazingly short and sweet – just liturgy, eucharist, no sermon! Eleven o’clock service is more, I understand. Alana and I had coffee and nice conversation afterwards. Nice beginning to what looks to be another beautiful day in Kinsale! Fun to note on my computer that it is 4:59 am where you are!
