Today was one of the best days of the trip. I woke up to the sun after my first good nights sleep in a while. I started my day with yoga on the beach and then went on a run. Along the way I stopped because I was feeling gassed, I haven't ran in a while. I talked to people on the beach selling random stuff and had some interesting conversations. I probably walked and ran the beach for 2.5 hours. It was so amazing to start my day slowly and with exercise and with sunlight. I could literally see my psyche unraveling in real time. After the run I came back to our awesome hostel, Galu's Backpackers and had a mango smoothie. Ron and I had an amazing discussion about life and relationships over breakfast. After breakfast I read some of my new book, Doughnut Economics. Around 2PM Ron and I got lunch at a nearby place. It took two hours for our food to come. After lunch we talked with the kite surfing guy to give us an intro lesson. We ended up getting a two hour lesson for 50 bucks each, a pretty good deal. Learning how to fly the kite was fun. I want to become a master of earth wind fire and water and sports that bring that out are the best! After kite surfing Zach Ron and I played volleyball at the resort next door. I love volleyball and am pretty good at it so it was fun to get some competition going. The people we played against were pretty good. After that we went to dinner and karaoke. It was a great day. I value being able to take time to myself to think and to use my body to stay healthy and play sports and learn new skills.
