I think John Lennon and Yoko Ono were with us...

I woke up a little hangover this morning... and my day is based on this, nothing very exciting but the feeling of living in a big bubble. I do have a good reason for it though :

Last night we went for some diner out in the marina and then stopped at the bar thinking "one beer and we go back to the nest". BUT while I was in the bathroom (relaxing myself after tree sips of beer), some lady tried to come in and got confused, shutting the light on and off and forcing the lock as if the door had a problem. I nicely but weirdly told her it was occupied as I couldn't stop myself having a little laughing reaction, she laughed too and said sorry in a funny/embarrassed way. When I went back to the bar, I saw that my boyfriend was talking to a man across us and realized that my toilet-secret-lady was actually the companion of that man Gordon was talking to. Her and I smiled with a knowing glance and she could finally go do, you know, her thing.

So basically to make all that hangover talk of mine clearer, the men met at the bar, just giving each other some random, manly "cheers" and we women met while one was one the throne and the other one wanted to be on it...

This ended up with them joining us at the bar and later on inviting us to their boat for some more drinks.

We had such an incredibly good time ! They are very special people so let me introduce them to you :

They are in their late 40's and have been with each other for about 25 years, sailing

together on their cute 10 meter boat, "Good Luck". They are from Germany and they live there half time, own a little cocktails bar and try to save up enough money to bye a bigger boat so they will, one day, realize their dream to sail around the world and to do just that. The only problem is that we cannot really remember their names just yet... we heard it just once and just before many "now, lets make a toast to that !!". -----------------(This picture is obviously not mine...)------

They sure are real good Germans if you follow the beer-drinking cliché...

We talked about everything with them, EVERYTHING. It was as if we found our guardian angels... they are like us but older and wiser than us. They also helped us realize that we are very lucky to have such a beautiful relationship and that we have to take good care of it.

We talked about how every couple have fights and how they are such a necessary thing, about how much we learn from those fights and how much it actually always helps. Even if it hurts sometimes to hear the truth...

They said that there is a big difference between couples who fight and couples who make war to each other. Fighting is a good thing, making war is hopeless.

Right now you must think : "Oh...she is such a hippie and these people sound like they are the biggest hippies ever..." But no !! That's what is so good about it, there was absolutely no "feel-good plants" involved, they didn't have tons of necklaces+flowers in hair+long beard and strange smiles ! They were just regular, nice and normal people. They just carried huge hearts and very open minded heads on their shoulders.

I really wish more people could take time to seat and talk more often and most importantly to try to understand each other and to accept that we all have that possibility to share and to communicate, no matter were we come from or how old we are.

We are having them over on our boat for diner tonight and I'm making Danish meat balls and mashed potatoes.

I'll let you know tomorrow how the wine was flowing and the minds expending !
