Haridwar->Rishikesh
Train ride
People sleeping on the floor completely covered with dirty rags covered with flies
I witness an incredible catch of a fly by a jumping spider... and lost that picture among many others from India (I am glad I still have a brain that remembers!)
Taxi picks us up… oh boy... we remember all the ads:
"Cellular on wheel is costly deal"
"Leave sooner, drive slower, live longer"
Crazy drive (I love it; Basia is kind of accepting it…)
After almost an hour of evading a train, cows, monkeys, humans, other cars, buses, Tuk tuks, rickshaws, bikes, we drive down a pretty abandoned road by the Ganges and the driver stopped and told us: "Car can go no further. Keep walking and somebody will be waiting for you". So we walked an we saw two contrasting realities: on the left, trash everywhere

On the right, the Ganga… majestic, flowing slowly with a beautiful green color textured by wind-driven ripples
… and the breeze… and we felt transported to a world opposite to the one we experienced just minutes before.
"…just trip and glide with angels…" Life is Worth.
We arrived to the Ashram.
