Today

Today was random yet awesome day. I woke up today and decided that I needed to take my meditations to the next level. I decided to throw a pillow over the phone so it wouldn't by chance buzz while I started, just afterwards I got my first message of the day. I was convenient because I knew that it was coming. Afterwards I tried this new meditation and instantly was stoked for the day. I then arranged for me and a certain future actress to meet up later that night.

I was pretty hungry and had no food in the house so I went to the store to get some breakfast. I ate down by the river and some man told me not to litter. I actually had no idea what he said but I knew what he meant.

My phone was ridiculously busy with text messages and calls today. I heard from my super cool roommate that it was raining in Paris, I told her that museums are always good for rainy days. Anyway, I wound up ending the day in 7 euros in phone charges from various calls and text messages. That almost tripled the total for me being here so far. Yet then again it was not a normal day.

Later I got a call from my American bud asking if I wanted to go on a hike with him and his suave swiss roommate right that instant. I was just thinking if I should call him and then decided that I would just let him call me, so he did. I said yes and a little later I changed plans from walking to the story to going for a hike.

The hike was absolutely beautiful. It was up a mountain that overlooks Chambery and You could she Chambery and Mount Blanc in the background. At the summit of the hike we found a cave. It went back pretty far and deep but we didn't have a flashlight so we didn't go too far. It was still cool though.

Once we returned from the hike it turned out that we had in issue with a lost cellphone. It wasn't my because I had yet to reach my 7 euros of calls and such. So we drove around a little while because we think that the phone was left on the roof accidentally and fell off somewhere.

While searching for the phone we ran into two women whose car broke down. They had a problem with the radiator connection to the engine and as the result there was some slight overheatage. Another guy joined in to help out and he was able to tow the car to an area where we could leave it.

Afterwards we all had some wine and crackers at the womens' house and talked for a while whit the husband of one of them. It was a very neat house that was like a French cabin in the mountains.

Eventually we returned and I tried calling my mom at the call center downtown because it is her birthday today. She was out having lunch but it was determined that I could call again later using skype.

Afterwards I spent some time talking with my Estonian friend while I enjoyed one of the many Kebab places in town. It was really great to talk to her because she is really easy to talk to and has the right kind of energy. I talked to her about some recent stuff that I have discovered in my self search, most people haven't heard this stuff but she was really interested in it. It was funny because it turns out that we both happen to be in Albertville on the same day, we just missed each other.

Anyway I finally returned home and got to wish my mom a Happy Birthday. Overall the day was really great and I'm thinking that more days like this could happen in the future. I just need to figure out how to keep the phone bill lower. There were also some other weird thought to actually happening connections that happened today but I can't really remember any of them. I think it is kind of fun because it a weird way, it makes sense.
