I’m late in finishing and sending this! Also, warning, It’s a bit lengthy and I didn’t proof it well. XO Feb. 28th - The last 3 weeks have flown by! Waking up at 5:15am most days for an hour of meditation followed by 1.5 hours of yoga. Afternoons we had class on a variety of subjects. Before bed another 30 mins of meditation. The travel this year was slightly different in that we went to Varanasi. Varanasi is a very traditional old city, one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. There were some western tourists, of course, but the real life of India can very much still be seen. The clothing never ceases to delight me. My favorite thing is making eye contact with curious woman and exchanging a sincere smile that crosses all language and cultural barriers. I hope to return and spend a little more time there. If you’re sensitive to death skip this part- Varanasi is said to be one of the 7 most sacred places in India. It is the place of the burning ghats. Families pilg
