No Cheeseburgers or Hot Dogs

I woke up this morning before 6AM for a yoga class. Caren rolled over and went back to sleep. Our instructor, Bti, led a group of five of us thru a series of stretching, breathing, and bending exercises. Once again, I proved to myself that as you get older it is difficult to balance on one foot. And my flexibility is nowhere as good as our instructor and her 20 year old male assistant.

Caren's sciatic nerve was bothering her, so she sat out our 35km bike ride today. She may have had the better of it, sitting by the pool. The ride started out with the temperature in the 80s, but by the time we got halfway along, the sun was beating down and the thermometer was into the 90s. I had a great ride, felt the best I have in days of riding, and made very good time.


We were both dying for a cheeseburger or hot dog for lunch, but no such luck. Instead, we opted for the Indian/Thai buffet which turned out to be one of our best meals yet. Nothing at all like the "all you can eat for $9.99" buffets in Indian restaurants in SoCal.


Afterwards, we went on a walking tour of the village of Delwara with a young man who lives here and served as our local guide. We will post some pictures later. It is very interesting to see how people in villages in India live.
Some good things, some bad things. Definitely, not like the U.S.. Caren even went to visit his house and do some shopping while I went to chill out in the room.
