She Danced Nude on Her Terrace......
I met an interesting lady this weekend at a Greek Cultural party.
She was just released from a long unhappy arranged marriage with a domineering, spiteful husband (well documented).
So she took the inheritance and decided to live her life, finally. She decided to go to Greece, the country of her ancestors, and celebrate her 60th Birthday!!
With her children's blessings, she went off to a beachfront hotel on one of the islands and on her birthday she took a picnic basket and sat on the sand and ate and drank toasts of happiness and appreciation to herself.
She said the moon and stars came out and she was the happiest and free-est she had ever remembered feeling in her life. She went back to her room and put on some music and decided to dance on the terrace in the nude!
When she was telling me this, she was shyly giggling and we had a good conspiratorial laugh, even though I did wonder what I would have thought had I been on the next terrace!
I am just sharing this because it involves travel and the start of a journey of one woman.

60 is hardly old! Her life is just beginning...oh how I wish to see what comes next. 
! That would help too.

SeaUrchin, thanks for sharing. How wonderful that she finally found her freedom and wasn't too heavily restrained by her inhibition to enjoy it. So many people never let go of their inhibitions, not even once, in the whole of their adult lives.

What a refreshing story...
Although I must admit...sadly, if I were to have witnessed it (without knowing the context), I would have thought she was a little screwy.
But at least screwy is never boring!

Great story-First she remeinded me of a female Zorba, then Yes, reminded me of "Shirley Valentine" too. "To drink a glass of wine in the land where the grape is grown..."
60 is young, don't you know that birthdays start going backwards at that age?
Screwy? To all those who have never snuck in a secret naked dance under the Mediterranean Moon, try it! It is a kind of moment where everything makes perfect sense!
