hellooooo from a smoky closet like thing in delhi, blechhh. I am here for eight hours between trains and had this huge ordeal finding a place to put my bags...I got loud at QUITE A FEW people along the way who tried to take me down back alleys to their "very nice, AC, AC" hotel and after running away about 8 times ended up at the shithole of the century where I had to scream at the people to even give me a bathroom. GUH. At least its only $4/night. BUT, everything else has been GREAT!!! I cartwheeled around in front of the Taj Mahal this morning (SO BEAUTIFUL), meditated with some monks in under the Bodhi tree a couple days ago (my new favorite place on earth), and got called hot by a hijra (man/woman) on the train the other day after giving him/her some almonds. I spent the last four nights travelling around with Aaron (the BFG guy) which was great....it makes a WORLD of difference to have a man around and it is also nice to have company on lonnnng drawn out train rides. We met a German couple on the night train to Agra and spent the the last couple of days with them which was also really fun. Aaron and I both got sick at different times, blech....apparently there was some scheme a few years ago in Agra where restaurants would poison their food and then when people got sick they'd refer them to quack doctors who would charge them insane amounts of money for "treatments" and then all share in the profits...so sketchy!! I don't think that's still happening though as I got sick in Varanasi and he ate some very shifty chicken in Agra that I think was the culprit. You really have to be on your guard here though! I have LOVED seeing these big crazy cities (minus Delhi) but I am MORE than ready to be in the mountain air in Mcleod Ganj. Apparently the Dalai Llama is in Dharamsala right now so maybe I'll be able to hear a talk or something! Yee!!! Love love love to you all (My heart is bursting with it!)
