Friday June 24 Ayurvedic Retreat Coonoor...monkey business!!

Felt so energized this morning on so little food. No breakfast of course only 90 ml of ghee! Yucky to drink, eat the fresh lime to take the taste out of your mouth. There was a terrific wind storm in the early hours this morning, without rain. It was very noisy. Debris everywhere now, lots of work for clean up crews. The power went out of course. I loved the yoga this morning: we do some quite challenging poses. Understanding what the teacher wants is usually a bit of a challenge, but we get through fine. I went for a windy walk on the usual mountain loop. Well there was a huge tree downed right over the road totally blocking in. I crept under it to continue walking but the tree was entangled with electrical wires. I came back to my room to and started blogging. Well an enormous monkey ( looked like a baboon) walked right in!! I yelled at him, but he took his time leaving. Never leave your door open. I do, as I want light and fresh air. At night I have a window open but the monkeys are in the trees by then.

There has been no power or internet all day but by 4 pm everything was working again. Lots of German tourists come to this place, and they frequent India all the time. The women guests get oil dripped on them ( one of their treatments ) and also have an oil bath! Thank goodness the men don't do this...lol!!

Good day with walks. I'm on the weight control diet.Thanks for checking in.
