So Darcie was asking about the women here. For the most part I get a very warm response from them which is met with much curiousity. They are really really cute. I suppose they are as much curious to know about my life, my values, my ideas, as I am theres. I find the girls that look at me and laugh or start giggling....immature it's really silly and I know it's because I just look so different to them in every way. I dress different, look different, speak different and probably am the tallest women they've ever seen. What's that word they called in highschool Yani.....Amazon?? ha! The women are are very kind when I approach them...90% of the time. I think they shy away from foriegn women? Most of the women I've come across usually ... read more

Every nuance is starting to breath through me. Its like i have finally worn myself in and India now fits. I would not trade anything in the world for being here right now.!!!

eeeeek! We really love this place we want to pinch ourselves! Yesterday we finally arrived in Rishikesh, which is a few hours north of Delhi. We saved ourselves the city adventure and took the train straight here. "straight here" wasn't so fast that's forsure.
