miracles

To Dear Malin (a friend we met on Corfu yesterday),

You are beautiful and meeting you was one of the miracles that happen in life and especially on the road, and I'm sure Ana will agree with me in her own response to your wonderful email. Today was a day I am still speechless about and this email in the first attempt I make to describe it. First, Ana and walked down to the beach a bit away from the hostel, ate the dinner, did yoga to the sea and watched the sun go down while standing on our heads. Then we sat and watched the rest of the light fade away into night, colors and shapes on the clouds and the sea changing (I hope you got to watch it as well), talking, in awe of the magic around us, also talking through the situation and realizing a lot for ourselves and finding a good lesson and making peace inside about Spyros and that day. We slept on the beach, it was warm and the rain didn't touch us, and a little white and black dog slept near us guarding our sleep all night. We woke up just after sunset and got a ride from a family up the hill and to school - he was dropping off his two thirteen year old daughters. Then almost right away we got picked up by a man from the Isle of Man from Great Britain, who drove us to Kerkyra, where we caught a ferry in ten minutes. With coffee and chocolate of the ferry, we left all hurt behind us and only remembered the good time on Corfu and thought much of you and we know you will enjoy it there, you have a clear kind heart and you will always find a way to happiness and safety. We got to Igoumenitsa, walked a little out of town and stood under a bridge looking for a ride. A big beautiful dog started walking by us, kind and protective. We found a persimmon from a tree and ate it, delicious. We stopped under this bridge and the dog stopped with us. It suddenly started hunting all the car, running after them like a lion and many of them were slowing down a lot right in from of us, when finally the dog stood right in front of a small red car with two men inside, they saw us and pulled over. At first they thought there was not enough space, but we fit in the back. They were two men coming from Albania and going to Athens. They took us all the way to Athens, bought us coffee and shared some delicious food with us, which we all ate watching the sunset on a beach by the road. They dropped us off the the bus station in Athens. It turned out that its the wrong bus station, but we were directed and took a free bus into the center, where after walking a bit lost looking for the right bus station, we stopped in front of a cafe and Ana said 'may be we should ask somebody', when a man right next to us said 'you should ask me'. He was the owner of the cafe, he borrowed a friend's key and drove us to the right bus station and we caught the last bus, with enough time to have a cup of tea before. On the bus we borrowed a phone and called the Yoga Center, but he man said it was too late for him to come pick us up from Chalkida, and we were a bit sad. Then a girl named Artemis started talking to us and by the end of the ride we had her number to meet her in Chalkida for swimming and anything else, we had $10 euro from the guys across from us, and a ride directly to the town where the yoga from was. We asked for nothing, just shared our story and all this help came. We got to the village and bought crepes and juice with the $10 euro and the Yoga Center for just five minutes away. Some people were awake and let us in and we are about to go to sleep in the living room. The journey started this morning at 7 am in Pelekas and just ended at 1 am in Agios Nikolas on the other coast. Amazing amazing day. And all the treats you gave us tasted just right at just the right moments. Also, we called Pan and we will meet up with him after we leave here, definately for the week of December 1 - 7 we would love to stay in Athens with someone and spend out last week there. Thank you for the good energy and love you sent us off with, with your blessings we make in across Greece in one day without money and without any problems.

Good night
