so i am back from vacation and feel utterly relaxed and focused. incredible what a week off the grid can do for the mind, body, soul...
since returning on sunday around midnight i've managed to plan trip #2 to the same destination, as well as registering my business name and posting an ad for my services. high five me.
feeling peaceful inside and courageous and not afraid to express myself. i feel so in sync with the flow of life, as if nothing can touch me, i'm teflon, mannnn. can't touch this! yeah. had a lot of time to think and reflect and then not think at all.
i spent the week in rural quebec with my boyfriend at his family's cottage. it's on an island and has a wee beach to itself, accessible only by boat. so we filled each day with good meals, as much sunshine as the rain clouds would allow, and exploration of our surroundings. it was an eye-opener spending a week with someone whose company you enjoy, for the first time. by the end of the week i wasn't dying to come home, either, i was wishing i could stay. it's been a while. i like him.
anyway, the highlight of the trip was definitely the midnight boat ride to the middle of the lake to see the stars. incredible. upon our return we found our kerosene lamp had flickered out so it was a team effort to redock the boat with a flashlight. awesome! i highly recommend doing this.
can't wait to go back...
one of the ladies we spoke to over the course of the trip, friend's of P.'s family since he was a baby, told us that a pro diver had gone down in the lake in search of a plane crash. it turned out he was searching in the wrong area, but that he did find a spot that was 650 or so feet deep... and said that if people saw what he saw down there they would never swim in the lake. apparently there were giant water snakes and fish he'd never seen before... and this was coming from a seasoned diver.
scary!
aside from lake lore, i was also privy to the politics surrounding the region- as well as environmental stuff including the areas containing blue algae. yikes.
i have about 300 pics to sort through, a quick run through last night tells me there are about 50 or so good ones worth posting so i will when i have them edited.
but yes... a week surrounded by nature and no hustling bustling idiots trying to run you over so they can catch the subway- it was bliss.
and i gots planZZ for the next while... you will see, precious...
