Days 40-42: Spent the weekend in Rishikesh, where yoga was invented. It is also where the Beatles stayed when they came to India in 1968. They lived in an ashram and wrote a ton of music. They drastically changed their sound, as a result of the trip. Today, the town is known for its ashrams and yoga classes. However, we spent the weekend eating food, walking around town, and rafting the Ganges. One afternoon, a few of us walked 10 kilometers and got lost in a small village. We met a few kids and used our remedial Hindi to talk to them. They got really excited when we took pictures of them!
