LEAVING McLEOD WARNING: Do NOT take the train ride from McLeod to Rishikesh. It's hell! We were told 11.5 hours; it took 24 hours in stinking crowded bus and train. The train station is too far from McLeod, particularly since the bus driver stops too often. The bus ticket was much cheaper, but we were told: "the train is so much more comfortable"! So, we bought an "AC/sleeper ticket"..., or so we ... Read Full Entry

WITH DEEPEST REGRET, I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU PATRICIA PASSED AWAY ON JUNE 12, 2017. MAY THESE ENTRIES, SO LOVINGLY MADE BY PATRICIA, BE AN EVERLASTING TRiBUTE TO A PHENOMENAL, HUMANIST WOMAN. PATRICIA IS FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS AND THOUGHTS. JOHN CALI, HUSBAND I'm a Brazilian and long time resident of the US. I've always been fascinated by cultural diversity and I've had the opportunity to travel overseas over the years. 2005, however, brought me the "wings" to fly solo and further away.

Thank you
It is very hard to travel in your country, but it is all worth. India is amazing overall. Beauty and poverty co-exist, the food is delicious, the people friendly. Be proud! Patricia

As a Hindu, I am proud to know that when I Google Hindu gods, I get many feed-back selections. This picture has striked my interest. It is a beautiful work of art. I may even add that this picture is so breath-taking that the photographer must be very talented. Thank you for sharing this to the world. I wish for you to know that God's blessing will always be with you and that your interest/ career in photography flourishes.

So Helpful.
Am an Indian and your blog posts are well composed and very descriptive. I was looking at traveling to Kasol or a place close by and your blog has been a great help. Also I'd like to mention that the 'Holy men' are not termed as Shaadu but Sadhu. Anyway Keep writing and traveling:) P.S - You traveled by a public bus. That's quite the dare. Salute to that!

your comments
I love getting comments from other travelers!!! As for bus in the hills of India, or plain terrain for that matter, it was truly insane. i don't thing I'd dare again. ahahahhah. As for misspelling, I know my blogs are filled with them. Between writing fast, whenever I get internet, and sometimes thinking in Portuguese and writing in English, mistakes are bound to happen. One of these days I might have time to edit. One day.... thanks
