Weekend

I'm entering my last week here.  One more practice this evening, then I'm off tomorrow all day.  Our task is to relax and take things softly and slowly.  We've gone through all the preludes already.  Very quickly through Moving and Circling.  We did the closing poses today, which I knew already.  They are the same for every prelude.  Next week we are going through them all again, but he has planned something else, a pranayama practice that is to be done before the practice.  He says some people will not be doing that. For some reason, I believe I will be one who won't be permitted to do it.  I'll find out next week.

Not much more to say about Vienna.  I would like to see more of it, not just the area I'm in.  But I'm not very inclined to take subways and check it all out.  I'm tired and wanting mostly to stay quiet.  I plan to visit a museum or two tomorrow on my day off and read in the park.  Perhaps go by the water or to Stadt Park to walk a bit.  

Sorry, no pictures today.  I'll take some tomorrow of some nice scenery.  Today I want to get through my evening practice and try to get an early sleep.  I'll do some work on the Shala stuff.  I've been writing for my own project too.  Developing my storyboard a bit as I get ready to start applying for funds.  I started work on the book as well.  

I would love it if they decided to do this workshop in France next year.  Or Italy.  Or Spain.  Off to get away from the cigarette smoke.  Cafe Sperl has good internet but everyone smokes here and my lungs are definitely not used to it!  Which is a good thing.  I understand there is no smoking in London, so that would be a nice place for an intensive too!
