Taj Mahal & Rishikesh

Namaste from Rishikesh - yoga capital (and hippy capital) of India! We found a beautiful guesthouse on the Ganges and have been kicking back for the past few days enjoying yoga classes and eating delicious food! We came here after visiting the Taj Mahal, which of course was very impressive. My favorite part of seeing Taj Mahal was being asked by all the Indians to pose with them for their photos. As always, it's the Indian people that make every town we visit amazing.

After kicking back in Rishikesh for 4 days, we're moving on north and hope to find our way to Kashmir. Our friend, Mark, just left to go back home. We enjoyed travelling with him but teased him often about his high-maintenance tendencies. When he left, we threw some peas into his bag with a note that said, "If you ever forget you're a princess, throw one of these under your mattress."

This is a short blog but I've attached some photos to the right and will write more later in the week.

Love Kristin
