Friday, October 9/10, 2009 Harbin Hot Springs, visit with Unmani and Dharma and John Lennon’s Birthday

Friday: Getting up early after a wonderful very dark and very quiet night FULL of magical stars, we arrive at Harbin early and attend a most amazing yoga class – perfect for us and what we need. We find our friends, Unmani and Dharma, at breakfast and then spend the day visiting, hot pools and wet saunas. A little lying in the sun to tan Gerrit’s face. He shaved!! He has to get a new passport and Driver’s License in Holland and he doesn’t want to look like a terrorist! It is John Lennon’s Birthday! Celebrated by movies about his life. So moving. He was such caring and committed man. So sad to loose him! Saturday: We awake early after another very dark and very quiet sleep at Harbin. We intend to go the fantastic yoga class in the amazing temple building, but decide the 4 hours yesterday was enough and head up to breakfast at the restaurant.
We decide to wake up our friends, Unmani and Dharma before we leave for San Rafael. They let us wake them up and we have fun in bed pretending to be John Lennon and Yoko Ono having a BED IN for peace!
Then for more breakfast for them at the restaurant. And who do we see? Our friend, Vision, from Maui whom we saw in Laytonville at Shanti and Bob’s! Nice connections. As they say, Harbin is where you see everyone!
We arrive In San Rafael in late afternoon and begin a closing visit with our dear friends and hosts, Julie and Patrick. We again do the John Lennon Thing and take Bed In photos again to remember these dear friends.
