Goodbye Nepal, Namaste India all over again...

Said our goodbye to Arun, tatoo boy, and now it' s just me and Eran making our way to the Himalayas in India. Should be fun...I like how chilled travelling is with him. We have a lot of fun together and since he's so young, he can keep up with me. LOL! I did tire out both the boys when we went trekking last week. We completed our circuit which was supposed to take 5 days, in 3 days. It was a lot of fun, going thru little villages and seeing how people live in such primitive places. It reminded me a lot of the Inca trail going up to Machu Picchu. Other than the trek, we just chilled out in this little place called Pokhara. It's a little touristy town in the foothills of Annapurana range. It's on the bank of this beautiful lake, very chilled out. Nice bars and restaurants. I can't believe how cheap Nepal is. In the month that I've been here, I've spent about $700 and I have done everything I wanted to do here. Sure, I've not been staying at 5 star hotels but the hostels we've been staying at were cozy, clean, with beautiful views and less than $10/ night. 5 star hotels I'll leave for Delhi. Yes, tomorrow me and Eran are off to Delhi and we'll be pampering ourselves in a 5 star hotel. I think my hair needs to be colored and cut...at the moment it's 4 different shades as Arun very kindly pointed out. Starting with grey at the roots, then blonde, then a bit reddish brown followed by dark brown. Not very flattering! I can't remember the last time I had a hair cut or a pedicure. Sometimes I forget that I'm a woman. But when I came back from my trek, I took a long shower, groomed myself well, put on some make up and girlie clothes (skirt and a nice top) and the guys were so shocked. They hadn't seen me like this in a long time. I pretty much live in my lululemons all the time. Thank God for lululemon. Girls, you should never go backpacking without them....they are lightweight, quick drying, sexy, and oh so comfy. Yes, the tops can be a bit too cleavagey for places like India and Nepal...but scarfs around your neck seem to work well. If not, then maybe just travel with a couple of dudes and you are safe :)

So, my new plans for Canada...here they are. I don't think I can change them any longer as my very patient dad informed me the other day. I will be leaving lovely India for Italy on June 2nd. I will be in Italy for a month and board my plane for Vancouver on July 3rd. Looks like there is a rendezvous with Spongy brewing some time in Aug. Costa Rica....watch out!!!! Should be fun, can't wait to see Sponge Bob again. Would be fun chilling out on the beaches, checking out some surfer dudes for a couple of weeks. After that, back to Europa for some more drifting, travelling, soul searching, ashram hopping. Probably will go visit Eran in Israel for some time. We've been talking about renting a car and going across the country for as long as it takes. Shouldn't take more than a couple of days considering how small Israel is. Maybe I'll persuade him to cross the border into Palestine! Do you think a Jew would do that?!? Dunno, I guess I'll have to find out. Wow, I love my life! I finally feel like I can enjoy travelling. I enjoy every minute of it now. The whole time I travelled, I made time to meditate and that makes everything so much better. This is what I am gonna do for the next few years of my life...just go with the flow. See what existence has planned for me. There will be no "settling down"for me this lifetime. Sorry mum :(
