Plane, plane, bus, metro, bus, bus, bus, rickshaw...Rishikesh

Yes, that's the number of switches I made to get here.  I must really want to be here...

But in all seriousness, it's quite amazing.  Honestly, I'm so lost in this moment, that I don't think I can pull myself out of it to capture it properly.  But a few quick scene setting details:
- I walk out of my hostel with a view of the Ganga.  For those who don't know, Rishikesh is a jump off point to the Himalayas.  The Ganga doesn't originate here, but it's quite clean up here.  Perhaps I'll wash some layers of karma off, if I have the guts for it.
- 7 Rupee chai...so good.
- A hanging bridge (Laxmanjhula), running across the Ganga
- It feels like Redmond, Thai Tom, Seattle, the space needle are another universe away

Apologies for the lack of pictures.  But at least you get my thoughts!!
