Went for a dip in the Ganges today it was real fun and real refreshing considering the 115 degree heat- no joking. While in the Ganges we played Frisbees and warded off beggars and cows quite a good time. I got some good pictures with religious men/ beggars that you can put up next to the picture of me with the African men. Also, in the last few days I have taken yoga classes and natropathy classes about acupuncture, ayurveda, magnet therapy, yoga breathing and meditation. I have learned that according to Ayurveda I am a Pitta as opposed to being Vatta or Kapha. Pitta Pride!!!!
Tomorrow we are going to Hardwar ( one of the 7 holy cities in India- also on the Ganges yeahhh!!!) and then to an elephant reserve. Sunday we will probably go white water rafting or to some caves that have a temple in it. I got to say that I am not so excited to leave rishikesh and move on.
Aside from the cow poo it is really quite nice here and yesterday we saw the ashram where the beatles stayed when they were here (or at least I think it was their ashram as every beggar pointed to a different ashram and said it was that of the beatles- then they would return to their drug induced sleep or turn to the man sized monkeys and fed them bananas.) Hmmmm what else. I have bought out the whole town and there is not a tee shirt or necklace left in sight and I have eaten every bit of tika masala in the place. I guess in that case it is best that I leave my Indian home away from home.
