It was so good and humbling to be reminded of yoga and how effective it can be for the ache and tension in my upper back. The yoga class works in around the edges instead of just trying to immediately stretch the tight part and that forced patience is so helpful. Last night I had dinner with the couple I met at the Rothkos: Isabel and Laurent. They fed me a very simple, rustic meal of steamed fish + potatoes in a tomato sauce, and a delicious tapenade laurent made from green olives, capers, and some other stuff. We talked from 7:30 pm to 1am when I finally had to break away to sleep. BUT I’d had coffee there and was up until 4 so I was VERY tired for Yoga. Very sleepy for my last day. The day is still good and I’ll get these last postcars written and sent. Then perhaps tonight my final mission: coq au vin! Note from the future: I didn’t write about this but I want to while I still remember it: I had a fun midday that day after yoga. I went and got a fancy breakfast of baguette and chopped lox and then went to a little wine store to get wine for Laurent and Isabel. There was this tiny cute gay guy running the wine shop and he chatted me up and was holding court with customers in the most adorable way. He had such vivid brown eyes and I really enjoyed flirting with him while he DJ’d and played a bunch of fun french songs I wouldn’t have otherwise heard. It was a fun little party and he really was flirting with me heavily. If I’d stuck around we’d probably have made out lol but I chickened out and also I mean I specifically didn’t negotiate that w Jamie. It was a super fun experience though. Then I was so tired I went and bought flowers and passed out for a few hours in my little boat cabin to rest up for dinner.
