38 hours on a train is plenty of time. roarke and i just got to new delhi this morning around 6am, checked into some nasty downtown guest house, and are now wondering around delhi. i have discovered that travelling itself is a fun adventure. i spent probably 10 hours standing at an open doorway on the train and watching the country roll by tree by tree. it was a good place to think. and with nothing else to do, i did a lot of thinking. the only downside of standing/leaning out of the train to breath fresh air was that occasionally i got hit by stuff. once and a while there was a spray of liquid that would hit me at 50-60 miles an hour. i had nothing to do but think, so i came to the conclusion that i was being hit by bathroom liquids for hours. oh well.
rishikesh should be great. as my mom just informed me through here email, it is the yoga capital of the world. so i plan to do some yoga there. apparently you can live at an ashram for a week and live under strict rules and do nothing but yoga/meditation. it sounds cool and i hope it works out. we get on a 5am train to get to rishikesh tomorrow morning. fingers crossed....
