... that region of the world... We landed in India at 3:30am and even though I had not gotten much sleep, I was wide awake from excitement. As soon as we left the airport I could feel the amazing energy of this country. Our first day in India was surreal and beautiful for me. We met up with one of Rutherford's friends- a woman who made me feel great just by being near her. She is Buddhist nun named Venerable Tenzin. We walked around a nice part of Delhi with her, Rutherford had a great ...

... a bit chilly during the night with all the windows open and all. That would soon change. The train stopped in Delhi and some people got off and a lot more people got on. There were these 6 Indian women who all stormed the area I was in. They saw me and started speaking to each other rapidly in Hindi. They would point to my bag and my bed and say something to me in Hindi which of course I didn't understand. I think they wanted to convert my bed back into a seat so they ...

... czas przebywal - Guru Amardass Gurudwar. <br>Interesujaca budowla z cudna atmosfera, przepelniona cisza tego miejsca. Swiatynie hinduskie czesto sa bardzo rozkrzyczane, duzo tam obrazow, posagow, ofiar - swiatynie gurudwar sa raczej wypelnione cisza modlacych sie ludzi. W tradycji Sikhow bylo 10 guru/nauczycieli. 10-ty, ostatni spisal na kartach ksiegi cala wiedze zebrana przez siebie i poprzednich guru; prawa, wg ktorych powinni zyc wyznawcy tej wiary ...

... Wall" which flipped the 14 foot raft, as was expected! The rest of the day was full of rockin' whitewater interspersed with beautiful calm sections! We were joined in the raft by two friendly folks which made for an international grouping! Hamel, an architectural model designer from Manchester, England and Stamos, an investment banker from Athens, Greece living in London were great company and paddlers! After showers and a rest we all hooked up again with ...

... river, or as it is reffered to at this point in the country, the Ganga river, but it is the same river, and has two largish suspension bridges that cross it at either end, it is a very attractive town, many temples and intersting yoga based architecture around, very photogenic. It has the same level of traffic though, most Indian towns seem to double as expressways, something I have noticed here that I havn't notcied elsewhere though is their use of horns. Ive ...

... doing something, walking up and down the streets in big streams... I havent quite found out yet, what they are all doing... especially women who usually dont work. Tomorrow we'll leave Haridwar early and head up North into the Himalaya mountains... trekking for 4-5 days is the plan. Awesome!! Cant wait to see the mountains covered with snow and all the historic temples... popular pilgrim destinations.

... a couple of days just enjoying the peace of it all. Add to that the odd, quiet 'beach' on the bank of the Ganges, some good company and a handful of relaxed cafes, and it would be very, very easy to waste weeks here, as had a friend first met on the Annapurna circuit and randomly met again.
