After enjoying a few days anchored at full moon we began moving north to the French island of Corsica. Blown and battered by the winds and Yemaya for a few days we once again renewed our respect for Mother Nature and her powerful presence. And once again we are reminded of the "contrast experience", knowing that we certainly wouldn't appreciate the calm without the storm. What an awesome teacher and guru Mother Nature is as we learn to "just be" with what it is, without judgment. And without getting caught in the "good or bad " of whatever it is, we can just flow with it and know that it is just another new and unique experience. At least this is our aspiration..............
Coming into the ancient port town of Bonifacio on the southern coast of Corsica was beyond words. Sheer cliffs of limestone on either side with the old ruins and walls of the city looming above us as we pulled into port. Hopefully the pictures will give some indication of it's magnificence. We are certainly getting our exercise as we climb up and down from the old city to the port below.
We are learning our french and find the people friendly and more than willing to help us as we bumble along.
Once again, we are sometimes overwhelmed with the newness of it all and are thankful to have each other to learn and grow together through each new country and challenge. Life remains adventurous and expansive and real. And for these small wonders, we are thankful......................
