Today we walked to the place where the Beatles studied transcendental meditation with the Maharishi. On the walk there, I took some photos of the cows in the street and a monkey eating a kit kat with her baby holding on to her. The ashram where the Beatles stayed is now closed. We paid the guard and he let us go in anyway. There are domed areas where the Beatles wrote their music. Lots of stuff is painted on the walls all over the place. It was very interesting. (Rishikesh in general looks like hippie heaven and there are lots of whites here dressed in Indian clothes and very serious about the rituals.).
Going to bed early tonight because we have to leave at 4:30 am tomorrow to get the train to Agra (site of the Taj Mahal). We'll spend one day in Agra. Then we take a sleeper train to Allahabad where we will be in a tent for two nights. So, unless there's Internet in my Agra hotel, this will be my last post for a few days.
