Some sights in Rishikesh

Jeep stand in Rishikesh... a cross between a tax and a bus
Skyping with some nursery students in Montreal...Now they know a little about India and I know a little about them...young kids are full of love!
These monkyes were cute this day and the next day attacked me for my bananas!  I had to throw 2 at them to keep them away...it was kind of scary as they were charging me.
Ganges...
The bridge... if your not dodging cows you are dodging motorcycles...  Have you ever been in a cow/motorcycle traffic jam on a bridge? I have!
Those Jews sure do wonder...
Anything wrong with this picture?  At least the EEnglish ees spellled praughporlee
Dinner party at my home...
Trip to a waterfall...we had a great time and on the way down ran into some people who told us the real one was another 300meters or so higher up...we thought we had arrived...

You can walk all around this temple going higher and higher ringing bells and visiting a plethora of deities...

NHL in India!

If you are Canadian you must be following the Habs, and if not you should be!  (Both Canadian and following the Habs)

(this was written for school children after the Canadiens eliminated Pittsburgh and I didn't feel like retyping it)

I got to see the whole game but it wasn't easy!  That is because it was on at 4:30 in the morning here!  First of all the game is not on TV, they would rather watch cricket, a British version of Baseball!  So I needed to find an internet cafe where I could either listen to CJAD online or find it streaming on the internet!  Internet cafes only open at 9am and no one wanted to get up so early for me!  Then I remembered that I had seen a computer somewhere.  I had a home made supper at my friend's hotel the other night, and the family has a computer.  So I went there and asked if I could watch at 4:30 int the morning and they said YES!  So I had to share a room  with my friend, set an alarm at 4:30 and try not to wake my friend up.  What a nice person to let me do this!  Then one of the family members of the hotel also set an alarm to get up and let me into their house, and I got on the intenet and found that I was able to watch the whole game!  I had even bought some popcorn the night before to eat while I watched. 

The game finished just in time for me to go to yoga! 
Go Habs GO!!!
