Checking into an ahsram

we have made it to Rishikesh safely. from delhi it took a 4am taxi ride, a 12 hour train, 2 rickshaws, and a 3-4 mile walk. the capital of yoga is pretty impressive. there are ashrams people meditating everywhere. the city that we got to is really buisy. we wanted to find an ashram, but the city had some crazy hectic energy so we didnt sight up for anything immidiately. yesterday we walked up the ganges river. it was really cool. we were walking into the base of the himilayas. we swam with a bunch of kids at a bridge and ran into an american gap year program. the ganges and the himilayas are incredible. after a long walk we ran into a secluded and quiet ashram on the shore of the ganges. after talking with the head of the ashram, we signed up immidiately. im excited about the yoga classes, meditation classes, guided relaxation, breath-awareness class, 6 hours of speech-less silence, and hanging out with olded bearded gurus. we check in tomorrow at 1pm. it is so strict and organized i kind of feel like i am checking into rehab. so good bye for the next week.
