Today was a holiday in Corfu so we didn’t have school today. Today is when they celebrate all seven of the Ionian Islands becoming apart of mainland Greece. There was festivities downtown today so we got there around 11:00am to check out the scene. A Greek festival is different than an American festival. When they reference a parade they mean different marching bands marching down the streets of Corfu. This was really cool; there were about seven different bands that I saw and the band members were comprised of all ages.
My friend Maddie is a certified yoga instructor and we have been doing yoga frequently throughout the trip. Tonight a few of us went down to the beach across from our hotel and did yoga under the stars on the beach. This was one of the most relaxing things that I have done in a while. I used to hate yoga and think it was boring but now I’m growing to really like it. I was talking to Maddie about how she got into yoga and she told me how her freshman year things of the world and the people she was surrounded by weren’t giving her the support she needed so she found that when she found peace within herself she knew that she could give herself the things she was looking for to fill her up from the outside world.
I am greatly appreciative that she told me this story. It really hit home for me in many circumstances. When we do yoga at the end of our time she always says “stay in this peace and know that just by being you everything is ok”. I really love this and want to apply it to my life when I go back home and life gets going again.
