A fond farewell

Well the time has flown.... And in two days I begin the journey "home", to the USA.  For the last three months, I have had the blessing of making these Himalayan mountains my home.... It has been wonderful.  I have done many hours of yoga and meditation; made beautiful friends from all over the world; eaten many chapatis; pet many cows and goats; exchanged smiles with red cloaked monks; sung bhajans; played in the rain; eaten mangos; and thoroughly enjoyed this precious experience in another culture.  I love India.

And....

I'm ready to go home.  I miss nutritious organic food; green veggies and dark chocolate.  I miss clean toilets with toilet paper; cars that don't honk their horns; and men who ignore me when I walk by.  I miss fresh air, and earth without garbage on it.  I miss my boyfriend.... Friends and family.

On Monday, I take a bus to Delhi through the night.  I arrive in the morning and spend the day in Delhi and then fly out on Tuesday night.  I fly for about 32 hours, with a relatively quick stop in Belgium so I can grab some waffles... Then I arrive into Sacramento wednesday night, approximately 12 hours in the past.  Whew! Long journey.  

I am so thankful for this rich time, for it has truly been an adventure both within and without.  Thank you all for coming along with me!

Goodbye Asia!!! I love you!!
