Goodbye Delhi

Ttomorrow I start my solo adventure for real as I leave Clare and venture to Vipassana Farm in Dehra Dun. Im not sure if the farm is associated with the Vipassana retreat I did, but I do know that they have a healing center and teach pranic healing, among other musical and metaphysical subjects. Also, the farm manager emailed me the other day to say that the famous Vietnamese spiritual master Thich Nhat Hanh will be doing a 5 day retreat at the farm. What luck!

Delhi has been good, but I miss seeing the sky, the stars and moon, breathing fresh air. And it's not the place for peace and quiet. I'm ready for a more relaxed atmosphere, more meditation. But I had some good times, like clubbing at a surreal fancy hotel, meeting fellow travelers of the same spiritual vein, partying with the prime minister's grandson, driving tiny rickshaws through the city packed with people at all hours, and enjoying the homemade meals of the apartment's cook.
