It has passed

Well maybe just for today, but maybe not. Thank you for the kind words. Good ideas dad, I am trying not to spend much money but some things you have to do...mom is a pro at that;) Yesterday I went for a horseback ride on the beach and my horse spooked a few times. She was trying to have it her way the entire ride and so I decided that I didn't trust her enough to run with her on the beach. We walked and then after our break at the beach cafe I traded horses with a young Italian girl. She had a few of the same problems which I was glad to see but we were also headed back to the stable. So I decided that the horse taught me to not push it but play it safe. I think that if I would have tried to really command the horse she might have thrown me off and I would have bigger problems. So I gave in to trading horses knowing that the two of us just didn't fit together and my next horse felt much better. He responded to my commands much more smoothly. For the next few days I will give in to my tourist sensibilities and go find the other thrill seekers.
The weekends here seem to be very chill. Last night I was directed to a wonderful restaurant where took to go a gyro and fried eggplant and sat along the harbor wall. The waves crashed behind me, before me was a ferry dropping off its passengers. To my right was the remains of Apollo's temple and to my left the city. It was just me and my food but a very lovely way to end a few tumultuous days.
Have a great weekend
