Saturday Practice in Lecce Italy

 

The Details:

I woke up to a beautiful and windy day in Lecce this morning. 

Notes:

I practiced outside on the "front deck". Later we got ourselves lost in the historical section of the city. Boy oh boy were we L O S T! 3-4 hours later we somehow got back to the apartment. Whew!! 

The Practice:

I started out with a round of The 10 adding Song Gong to #10 and focused on staying healthy. I'm grateful for all the times that I did this set with classes over the years; sometimes 3-6 times per day. I started all Karate, Taiji and Bagua classes with them. I regret that I wasn't more consistent with the Modern Arnis classes, I did them but much more inconsistently. Oh well that era has passed!

Next I did a Round (left side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I. In Part III I realized I had inadvertently shifted to the right side so I switched back to the left at the first opportunity. 

That's all I had time and energy for this morning.
