Happy birthday mammy . . .
I was up at 6 and walked to the church and graveyard which was nice, I was so full of energy that I had my ipod and just sang my heart out all the way there and back. I then did pilates on my balcony and cleaned and washed clothes, sat in a cafe for brekkie all before 9 where all the yoga lot met up and we went out to firstly Indrunag, which was a random temple. We got sat down inside where they light a fire and put various herbs etc onto it so the room gets full of smoke and everyone inhales it, apparently good for asthma?! I reckon it's just good for getting high so I took my chair outside and breathed in the fresh air singing around grounds.
Next we went to the Norbulinga temple, which had lovely gardens and we stayed here for dinner. I had ridden on the back of the bike here when it was peeing down as no one else would, no wonder I get ill with cold. But here they had a lovely furniture and house furnishings shop.
Thirdly Tapovan which was a place where people go to study for sumardi in silence for 3years, madness. There was a huge open tiled room, which I couldn't resist taking off my shawl and doing cartwheels with Clara, Sivadas came over and warned me that I need to be respectful, I'm not sure if he was talking about me having my shoulders on show or the cartwheels, as he said nowt to Clara.
We stopped off to view one of Sivadas' projects which is a field where he is going to build a residency yoga hall.
Final stop was Masroor which is a temple carved out of the mountain stone but has been worn away, maybe by acid rain, or I've just made it up.
Was lovely just to get out of mcleod. We all paid 500rupees each for the taxi and entrance fees, cheap as chips.
Sharing a taxi and taking turns on the back of Sivadas' bike. It was lovely and sunny and such a nice day, looking back at the pics of this morning seems like days ago.
Munchies with Leyvan where again he beat me at chess. I need to start focusing again.
Called Miss Young I'm so excited for her to come out to join me. xx
