Bathing in the Holy Ganga

Today we woke up at 6am to perform some morning Yoga outside. It was an incredibly peaceful setting and our yoga instructor really knew his stuff, Some of the stretches were pretty difficult but it was a lot of fun and helped wake everybody up. We are going to keep doing morning yoga everyday we are in Rishikesh which I am very excited about! After yoga we had a great breakfast provided by the hotel, and it was easily the best breakfast we've had so far. Great eggs, coffee, juice and fresh fruit that for once was safe to eat. However my favorite part of the day came afterwards when we got to bath in the holy Ganga river! D-money took us down some crazy path on the side of the mountain and brought us to a secluded location where a yogi used to live several years ago. I jumped right into the water and was the first one fully submerged. Of course half the girls acted like they were afraid of the river and just sat at the bank but what can you do. At least Becca and Erin hopped in with Boki, Tyree, Sanch, John, Andrew, and I. After that we explored the market place and saw some sweet temples around Rishikesh, but I'm even more excited for tomorrow because we get to go white water rafting on the Ganga! This trip has been the bomb and I can't wait to come back to India again!
