Goodbye Banares

Last night in Varanasi... Tomorrow we travel to Agra. I haven't seen as much as I would have liked to here in Banares due to food poisoning and then yesterday, I caught some kind of stomach flu :/ therefore, it hasn't been the spiritual journey I would have hoped for, being in the holiest city. But I have realized that my spiritual quest can be reached anywhere...

We've been spending a lot of time at the Brown Bread Bakery (where we've been volunteering) because we get 50% off food :D and because they have live tabla and sarod/sitar concerts every evening. Other than that, it hasn't been the most eventful week. Went to explore the Ganges again last night and watch the puja and it started to rain. It felt so nice outside! Finally a bit if relief from the heat.

Tomorrow evening, we travel to Agra to the fort and the famous Taj Mahal! It is a place I've always dreamed of seeing. Then, onwards to Delhi where we meet our friend Kristina. Celebrating holi at a private (and hopefully very safe!) festival. We are escaping Delhi on the weekend and headed to Ramnagar to see Jim Corbett National Park and see eleohant/tiger safaris!!!

March 9, I board a plane to Coimbatore and return to a beautiful place with beautiful people :) just one more week until I return to Shanti Ashram!
