Today , the15th of December, is my birthday!
How does an average woman like me celebrate her birthday?
- Receiving flowers/gifts ;
-Going out for dinner with or without /theatre/movie ;
And that is it !
Do I remember my past birthdays ? No!
They were more or less alike…
Except one birthday I will never forget!
I very much want to share this one with you :
It was a present from me
to myself : A trip to Burma.
(Relax, and don’t sign out,
as I am not going to tell the whole story!
Just about my birthday night)
So there we were – three bold grandmothers,
experienced- trekkers , on a self-planned trip.
During the trip, we made a trek (with a local guide ) to the
villages of the northern mountains.
Here are the three of us, in the trek, under a Budhi tree,
( the Buddhist holy tree).
We ate in the villagers’ houses, dressed in their
festive costumes, and took part in a local wedding.
Then we made a “ Buddhist
pilgrimage” ,
by climbing 1000 or so mud -stairs,
to a Buddhist shrine.
At sunset, we arrived:
It was an overwhelming spot,
on “the top of the world”,
with a breathtaking view.
(no pictures as it was
getting dark…)
It was freezing cold…
The monks invited us to get warm near the fire they had lit.
This was a very funny situation:
We were standing and
trembling in one side of the
fire,
and the monks were doing the
same on the opposite side
of the fire.
We could not talk to them so
we giggled
all the while making body gestures to each other…
But the night, my birthday night, was
the highlight of this trek:
We slept with eight Buddha
sculptures,
watching over us.
They were
decorated with
small green blinking lights,
and we were lying under their feet .
And there was another living
creature watcher over us:
A mouse, which every once in a while
was crossing his territory, putting us on alert…
That was my birthday night, the 15th of December :
Funny and weird…
