After my breakfast this morning, I rolled out my mat and got set up to do yoga. I had coffee left and didn’t feel like doing yoga and drink coffee at the same time, yoga should have my fully focus when I’m upside down:) So I sat down on my mat, drank my coffee and wrote in my journal. I wrote down everything I have been struggling with in my yoga practice lately. Yoga is from day to day. Something you might have been feeling good about last week might be the toughest for you this week.
These days I feel tight in my back and shoulders and because of this my breathing is high up in my body. So my focus is to feel long in my spine and to get the breathing down in the belly. Writing this down helped me focus on this a bit more in my hour of yoga. To take few minutes before to think about or to even write down what you need to work on can help you in dance class or in yoga, I feel like. 

Efter min frukost imorse, rullade jag ut min matta och gjorde iordning for yoga. Jag hade kaffe kvar och kande inte for att gora yoga och dricka kaffe samtidigt, yoga borde ha mitt fulla focus nar jag ar upp och ner:) Sa jag satte mig pa mattan, drack mitt kaffe och skrev i min journal. Jag skrev ner allt som jag har kampat med under min yoga practice pa senaste tiden. Yoga ar fran dag till dag. Nagot som du kanske kande var bra forra veckan kanske ar det tuffaste for dig denna vecka. 
De senaste dagarna har jag kannt mig tight i rygg och axlar och pa grund av det har min andning varit hogre upp i min kropp. Sa mitt fokus ar att kanna mig lang i ryggraden och att fa ner andningen till magen. Att skriva ner detta hjalpte mig att fokusera pa det lite extra under min timmes yoga. Att ta nagra minuter innan att tanka pa eller att t.o.m skriva er vad du behover jobba pa kan hjalpa dig i en dansklass eller i yoga, kanner jag. 

We went to Coney Island today. We took the subway to Brooklyn where we had to change train. The second train was going in slow motion so we decided to actually get off and get a taxi instead. We started off with hotdogs from Nathan’s and then we walked down to the beach. A lot of people today. We found a spot we liked, got set up and then a family came and sat down next to us. They played extremely loud Bob Marley music on a huge speaker facing us. It was too loud for our ears so we ended up moving away from them. Poor kids who has to listen to that all day. 
Anyway. It was nice to be on the beach. It’s not very clean there and you have to be careful not to step on glass but as long as you have a big blanket its fine. I have not been in the ocean since our trip to Mexico in January 2014 so I definitely had to go in. I didn’t stay long in the water though because there was a lot of seaweed and plastic bottles, cups and other crap, but I am glad that I could cool off at least. After 1,5 hour we packed our things, walked around the area a little before we took a taxi home again to be with Thor. 
Even if the beach isn’t the greatest, it is still nice that we have access to go to a beach. I grew up near the beach and the ocean and I miss it a lot especially during the summer. But I also love to enjoy the city life. We will not live here forever so it’s nice to experience the Manhattan summers now. 

Vi akte till Coney Island idag. Vi tog tunnelbanan till Brooklyn dar vi behovde byta tag. Det andra taget gick i slow motion sa vi beslutade att faktiskt kliva av och ta en taxi istallet. Vi borjade med hotdogs fran Nathan’s och sen gick vi ner till stranden. Mycket folk idag. Vi hittade en plats vi gillade, kom till ratta och snart kom en familj och satte sig bredvid oss. De spelade extremt hog Bob Marley musik fran en stor hogtalare vand mot oss. Det var sa hogt for vara oron att vi tillslut flyttade oss darifran. Stackars barnen som behover lyssna pa det hela dagen. 
Iaf. Det var trevligt att vara pa stranden. Det ar inte sarskilt rent dar och man maste vara forsiktig med att inte trampa pa glas men sa lange man har en filt ar det ok. Jag har inte varit i havet sedan var resa till Mexico i januari 2014 so jag behovde verkligen ga i. Jag stannade inte sa lange i vattnet dock eftersom dar fanns mycket tang och plast flaskor, muggar och annat skrap, men jag ar glad att jag kunde svalka mig iaf. Efter 1,5 timme packade vi ihop, promenerade i omradet en stund innan vi tog en taxi hem igen for att vara med Thor. 
Aven om stranden inte ar den basta, sa ar det iaf trevligt att vi har tillgang till att aka till en strand. Jag vaxte upp nara en strand och havet och jag saknar det mycket speciellt pa sommaren. Men jag alskar ocksa att uppleva city life. Vi kommer inte att bo har for alltid sa det ar nice att uppleva Manhattan sommar nu. 

Jim came home from work and said that The Ritz Carlton Hotel (right here by us) was having an outdoor bar and a bunch of dogs. So we went there to check it out. The hotel were hosting a party for humans and their dogs tonight and the next one is in August 27th. Thor was barking almost the whole time at other people, at other dogs and at us to give him the free treats, but it was still a pleasant time. We ordered wine and some food and enjoyed the pawty and the nice evening.

Today I had an appointment for biometrics, which is finger prints, photo and signature. Online it said that the subway had delays because of an earlier accident so I left home early. The train came right away and I got there a half hour before my time. They let me in, I filled out a paper and after few minutes of waiting I got to do my three things. I was ready in 10 min and I was down in Battery Park again before my scheduled time. So once again I am very happy with the service we have here. I saw the photo today and it looks ok, except a dumb pimple under my nose that will be the only thing you see on the photo, hahahah. So, now you have to help me cross your fingers that we don’t have to do a new interview. 

Idag hade jag en tid bokad for biometrics, vilket ar fingeravtryck, foto och namnteckning. Online stod det att tunnelbanan hade forseningar pga en tidigare olycka sa jag gick hemifran tidigt. Taget kom direkt och jag kom dit en halvtimme fore min tid. De slappte in mig, jag fyllde i ett papper och efter nagon minuts vantan fick jag gora mina tre saker. Jag var klar pa 10 min och jag var nere i Battery Park igen innan min bokade tid. Sa aterigen ar jag valdigt nojd med den service vi har har. Jag fick se fotot idag och det ser ok ut, forutom en dum finne under nasan som kommer va det enda man ser pa fotot, hahahah. Sa, nu far ni hjalpa mig att halla tummarna for att vi slipper en ny intervju.
