Isn't it amazing how you can wake up expecting a pretty uneventful day, but then it suddenly gets filled with magical moments?
I woke up just as the sun was rising again (glorious!) and after class, my roommates and I decided to take a spontaneous trip to a part of the city we hadn't seen before. So not only did some tasty banana brulee enter my life at this point, but we also walked by a yoga studio. Happy Robyn! I have been missing my gym a bit - getting a lot of exercise walking uphill, but I haven't been doing crunches and such on my hard tile bedroom floor. So I walked into the studio and asked about their classes, and they gave me a free pass to Pilates this evening! I had to borrow someone else's workout pants and the instructor had an unexpected chance to practice her English, but it was great.
Then I found a grocery store to shop at, which in my world is exciting. I generally just enjoy grocery shopping, but finding this store was especially rewarding because I have already lost interest in the tiny store on campus which has no fresh fruits or vegetables - unless you count a red pepper that is sprouting things "fresh."
But my day got even better...there was a salsa lesson and dance on campus! Picture a room full of students from all over the world dancing together - so fun :) They were doing a style of Cuban salsa that incorporates dancing in circles and switching partners, which they patiently taught me and I completely loved! As I was getting ready to leave, I met a Korean student, and it turned out she and I had a lot of common interests -was especially glad to learn she is a sister in Christ! She is here studying the Hebrew language so she can read the Old Testament in Hebrew. We jabbered on and on until maintenance kicked us out of the building.
How I love surprises, especially ones that involve good food, getting to know people from around the world, and dancing. Thankful to God for the great day :)
That sounds like a great time!
