Pilgrimage to India 2012 test blog

Testing out my ability to post blogs on my FB page in preparation for posting my India Travelogue.
December 27th to February 29th John and I will be making our 4th pilgrimage to India. Beginning with a month of study at the Iyengar Yoga Institute in the city of Pune, four hours south of Mumbai, followed by a car trip to visit the spectacular Ellora and Ajunta Caves outside Aurangabad. Next we will go by overnight train to spend three days in the Holy city of Varanasi followed by another overnight train trip to Agra and the Taj Mahal; a short drive to Vrindavan, city of Temples for two nights and touring of temples; then a short train trip to Delhi.
After two nights in Delhi we head 240K north to Old Japur in the foothills of the Himalayas for 3 more weeks of Yoga and then home. Whew!
I plan to blog and post pictures the whole way. I hope to convey to you the essence, as much as possible, of our journey.

The picture posted here was taken by John at the Ajuna Market in northern Goa in 2003. This tent market goes on forever, taking you into another world of cross India cultures and arts. We fearlessly entered into this market and gradually wondered how we would find our way back out! No wonder Matt Damon as Jason Bourne hid out here for months with his girlfriend, only to be found in the opening scene of The Bourne Supremacy.
