How lovely Deb - such a lovely story. The Dragon myth sounds so perfect. Your descriptions are so rich - I feel like I am almost there! ( just a few thousand miles from being really there)

This is the part I'm looking forward to Can't wait to hear more about the yoga, the monasteries and the meditations.
Have a great 6 days out of contact
Sue
Talk about perspective Deb,
40,000 meals a day! I have heard that the numbers of people in and on the streets is mind boggling. is that true? Do you see all kinds of awesome colors and fabrics in the saris and clothing? When does the yoga start?
Sue
Hi Sue There have been yoga classes every day. Sometimes twice a day, or sometimes a meditation session.
Colours in Delhi were intense, as was the poverty.
Since the climate is always warm, sleeping in the street is doable year round.
Yeah, it is rough. The last day there isa hike up to eagle's nest monastery,and it is 2.5 hours up,up, up...will de IDE later if I am going to do it, but then again, I a,ready know the answer...of course I will try.
Debbi - I am learning so much from eading your blogs. Thanks so much for sharing. The pictures are stunning and a rest to the eyes as I read from a cold rainy day in Barrhaven
Can't wait to hear more
Val
What do you think it is??? It's a little lamp that is filled with butter, not exactly like our butter, for sure, and
Burned in the temple. The butter lamps were more expensive to run than vegetable oil lamps, and hence garnered more merit.
Does that help?.
