European Tour Day 27: a walk in the woods
Day 27, March 26.
I really needed today. It was a day of rest. I could have gone sightseeing but I chose not to, and I’m so glad.
First I had to straighten out three logistical problems for my trip that I just discovered to my utter shock—things like having to be both teaching a session and being on a train at the same time beginning in two days and affecting a few people, and that took a good part of the morning.
Then in the afternoon I took more than an hour walk/hike up into the woods near Tammy’s house in St. Gallen. Oddly, I bumped into some sort of fenced-in antelope. My goodness, I had almost forgotten the feeling I get when I walk in the woods alone. Pretty much all I’ve been doing on this trip except early on has been walking in cities. What a difference in feeling! I feel rejuvenated. And except for some types of trees and the different kinds of houses it really has some of the feel of Vermont around here.
While walking, I even got a hit of a new way to teach my parenting session through questions we could ask ourselves when interacting with our kids, the answers to which would never steer us wrong.
Speaking of kids, Tammy’s is sick with a really bad cough originally from a fever, and I’m pumping myself with Airborne so I won’t catch it, and now I’m just saying I won’t.
My Windows Mail stopped working, so I called upon Jos again to help me straighten it out. It’s so great to have these contacts all over Europe!
Oh, and I got to take a real bath. I’ve been in some great showers on this trip, but soaking in a bathtub was like heaven.
