Greetings from Yvonne and Sarah!

This morning after we got off the over-night train, we headed to the hotel in Rishikesh and had our first meal of the day. After breakfast, we had a chance to unpack and clean up before meeting up again for lunch. We then left for a good tour with yogi Gopal – we visited two more temples, shopped about in the market place, and took a walk to the ashram where the Beatles meditated while writing The White Album. The grafiti art that we saw in the ashram was spectacular! At sunset, we attended the aarti ceremony which took place by the Ganges River. Then we returned for a wonderful dinner.

We are to do several yoga and meditation sessions tomorrow. But now it’s time for bed!
