First Day here

Well that really was the longest flight ever! What does one do up in an airplane for 20 hours? Actually the flight wasn't so bad just the duration. But we are all here in Bangalore now safe and sound and have already gone to our first yoga class with Arun. We arrived in Bangalore at about 4am got the the hotel and was able to make Arun's 6am class. What a welcome yoga was after that long trip! India floods the senses. It is hard to describe but I'll try. Even at 4am the moment stepping off the plane floods the senses with smells, colors, noise, people, stray dogs, corner temples and energy that is so stimulating. The combination of smells alone--sweet, smoky, and pungent is enough to put you in an altertate state. the food is spicy, hot, and sweet. The colors are vibrant, enticing and beautiful. The people are quiet, polite, friendly, dark, and lovely. It's true what they say, India does you, you don't do India. So sorry for the slight delay in blogging. Internet access is spotty at best ;)
