I never thought a city could smell so good! The wafting smell of the chocolate and the waffles coming from the open doors of the shops was so magical. It instantly lifted my spirits up and brought me to the present moment in an instant. I was living, eating and breathing completely in the moment. I never thought a city could do that to me. The city was absolutely beautiful with is bright white and gold architecture and its cobblestone walkways. The city was completely walkable. What's a spiritual journey without a spiritual practice? I took two yoga classes that brought me even deeper into the present moment. As much as the city has its beauty, there is also a very red cautious reputation that I didn't realize until I was in the moment where I needed to realize. Living in the moment isn't always as glamorous as the yogi's make it sound but it is completely necessary to experience sometimes in order to gain more wisdom and grow.
