Just before I went to bed last night, I learnt that there had been a large 7.6 earthquake off the coast of Costa Rica and they were issuing tsunami warnings to the surrounding islands. Tsunamis are probably my greatest fear in life. So hearing that one might hit the island to which I am disappearing to next month, both terrified and shocked me. Needless to say I had a tsunami nightmare that night, something I used to have quite often.
So I woke up stressed that my trip would be cancelled and I would lose all the money I had paid thus far due to my lack of travel insurance, so after waking in a panic at 6am, purchasing travel insurance and slightly calming I had a nap. After this nap I woke all dazed and cranky and drained. I think it is a combination of being incredibly low in iron and having severe caffeinated energy drink withdrawals, I was in a right state.
After posting a inspiration needed plea on Facebook, I decided to hit YouTube to find some spark on a day like today. After watching a video on Woodstock, I thought I'd search for a video on Peats Ridge festy, the closest thing to Woodstock I've been to. I watched a retrospective video of the year I attended, and was surprised to see that some friends and I made it into the footage. After that I was completely won over and immersed in the music of Jinja Safari and my day has since been promising.
It is funny how some music can change your mood in a matter of minutes.
You can see us swaying along from 2.30mins!
