On Friday we left the Marina, and went walking in the park. We ended up at a thrift shop, trying on piles of local garments. We pulled dresses and rompers from the outside discount racks, marked with signs written in marker; “5 euro”.
An English song played in the background by a band who was obviously not American; “I have a big, big heart” the chorus repeated over and over again. I smirke, hearing the electronic beat blare behind their heavy accents.
After handing over 12 euros for my first Cyprus treasure (a striped sundress) we continued on in search of yoga mats (or “yoga carpets” as Ali calls them).
Ali and I share preferences in food, music, adventuring, spirituality, and the desire to stay active. And after one conversation on that topic, we agreed that “boat yoga” must become a thing.
When the only mats to be found however, were 37 euros, Ali questioned nearly every shop and person passing on the street. Finally we got our answer; “Jomba” was the place to go; A children’s toy store a few miles away.
We had already walked several miles at this point, and were starting to head back in the direction of the marina. Ali refused to waist money on the bus however, so on we went, several miles out of the way, where 5 euro yoga mats did indeed became our prize.
I might add that I fully intend to use the mat, as soon as I recover from the shin splints incurred on that day.
Wow, sounds like a wonderful, surreal adventure! Love the pictures . Glad you have someone to share the adventure with . Can’t wait to read the next update.
Thanks Amy! Yes, I couldn’t have asked for a better friend 🙂
JamieJoy…
I am happy you are having an exciting time!
I’m so glad to hear all is going well Jamie… living in the USA certainly causes much worry over trusting strangers, but you’ve opened the door to the world past this country I know as home… thank you and be well!
I hope your Road to Rechah stories turns into a best selling book!! A spiritual adventure of a gypsy goddess driving her white chariot into the wilderness of herself to find her truth, her soul. After all, love and compassion ARE actions to be experienced, not just a fleeting feeling. Safe journeys, ❤️
Wow, what a great way to start your adventure- by making a new friend! I’m glad you have someone to spend time with and experience this part of your trip with. Have fun with Ali!
So happy for you! And a friend to share this blissful adventure, and what an adventure it is!!!
I agree that you really need to think about writing a book about ALL of your travels, Jamie!!!! (Need to work on your spelling, though!!!😁)
Jamie. Your continuing message of adventure and love inspires me, To the world and people around you. And I am thankful. Richard
