Wednesday morning we rose before 6am for a meditative silent walk down the beach with the group. We walked past the front of the Club Med and came to a small bay facing the sunrise. We sat on the beach meditating and watching the sunrise. Back at the ashram, our first yoga class was something of a challenge for both of us. The result is a pair of nicely stretched if slightly sore bodies, and big appetite for the morning meal. One of our fellow diners was an artist and sometime guitar player called Saambashiva, who was visiting and teaching yoga at the ashram. Richard and Saambashiva decided to play some music later after dinner. We also met Mr. Kendall Flowers, who does grounds maintenance around the ashram and runs snorkeling trips on the side with his power boat. The weather was unusually nice for the season, so we joined a few other guests for a two-hour snorkeling trip -- very fun. Mr. Flowers knows where the fish can be found. He threw a few bread crumbs in the water so the fish would swarm near where we were swimming and sometimes hit our bodies. There are so many fish in all different shapes, colors and groups. We made a second stop is at the site of a sunken ship. The top deck of the ship is about 5 feet under the surface of the water, so we could see clearly the schools of tiny fish hiding in the holds. Some of them just hang around the sail pool and barely move, as if they are having a big conference meeting. Back from snorkeling, we attended another yoga session for two hours and then enjoyed dinner. Afterwards, Richard took his flutes out and met with Saambashiva for an hour or so to play some music together. The sound of the music goes beautifully with the lazy Caribbean sunset. At temple time, we went to the meditation and chanting armed with repellent covering our bodies. That was effective.
