Ending India

   

Written by:

I just uploaded six new locations to The Gallery, bringing it up to Mumbai. Don’t forget to look for page two in the gallery, which shows the last three locations. At the moment I have things set so that only 15 sub-galleries show per page and I’ve hit my limit.

The sketchbook section now includes Tibet.

You can read all about how I spent the first few days of 2007 (falling face first off a jeep) in the new Mt. Abu post here.

I’m starting to feel a bit of pressure, now that I have plans. For those of you keeping track, I have a flight from Mumbai to Amman, Jordan on February 20th. Right after buying the norefundable ticket some space opened up at a yoga ashram in the South near Thrivandrum so I’ve had to cancel out a few of the East coast temples in favor of “yoga vacation.”

I’ve already swung around the Southernmost tip of India and am now in Madurai, staring at a pretty awe-inspiring temple. This is what I think of when I think of Indian temple architecture! I sign in for yoga vacation on the 31st and after I leave plan only a few days for Bangalore (movies… shopping!) and Mysore before taking the 24 hour train to mumbai for my flight.

    That’s the fattest monk I’ve ever seen.

    I know, and he was in a Hindu temple so even though he looks like a Buddhist monk he’s not. He was totally into getting his photo taken too.

    Aw, next time, pay attention when you are getting off any vehicle! Can you walk with your swollen knee? Well, wishing you to a speedy recovery…
    PS–that was funny, the girl offering you chapstick for your swollen bruised lip.
    Well, wishing you safe travels as always.
    Pura Vida,
    Claudia
    PS—I might take the plunge for my 1st RTW. Just got back after a month in New Zealand and these itchy feet won’t stop bugging me for more adventures.

    It was hard to walk at first and I couldn’t bend it for a few days. Actually, harder still was using the squat toilet! That was actually very aerobatic.

    Claudia, I hope you decide that you can take the plunge. Let me know if you need any planning help.
