Namaste from Amritsar, the Sikh capitol of the world. I’m on a computer that doesn’t compute very well (I think all the techies are helping you all in the US!). So I’ll quickly write an update here…The flight was great – smooth and seemingly fast for a 14 hour plane ride. The group became fast friends and I could hardly get their attention to make announcements – that’s only gotten worse (or better depending on how you look at it!) as we’ve gone on!Our first day was a whirlwind tour of Delhi – many impressive temples and sites. The manager of the travel agency I’ve been workin, Unni, with took us out to dinner last night with our guides Sanjeve and Vinay – it was lovely. And this morning after a 5 a.m. wakeup we cheerfully made our way to the Delhi train station and boarded the Shabtabi Express to Amritsar. the air-conditioned car and constant food and tea service was very nice. We were the only tourists on the car as far as we could tell.so far the trip has been seemless. The expected chaos of Delhi was not as intense as I’d remembered. the people have been so gracious. But it is hot!! Even the monekys and cows are just labouring along in the heat.We are taking a little break right now to settle into the MK Hotel in Amritsar. We might go for a swim, then some shopping and a ceremony at the Golden Palace. Tomorrow we will spend the day exploring this glorious site.We were able to get in some meditation at the Newark airport of all places! but have been on the go since then. Hopefully we’ll be able to schedule in some time to continue  our exploration of our crown chakra in the land of the crown chakra.Please excuse spelling errors, etc. as I want to ge this posted before the electricity goes out – which it has done a few times. The rooms even have candles in them for that porpose!We are having the best time. the mood is light. the people are fabulous and India is amazing. It seems a lot cleaner and less hazy then it was two and half years ago when I was last here.  We are only on day three and awaiting new experiences and enjoy the moment immensely.more soon!namsate,susan et al
