We're still here
I haven't really blogged lately for a few reasons. I have had really bad allergies for the past 3 weeks and have not felt up to it mainly. But things have slowed down also and I guess there hasn't been much to report. My allergies felt alot better yesterday, but then Andrew and I woke up this morning with sore throats. Hopefully we aren't coming down with something.
We have 3 weeks and 3 days left here. Who's counting? Then we are off to Thailand before Rowan and I head home on January 11th. At least I hope we head home because we are waitlisted for the flight. I am really looking forward to Thailand though. It should actually feel like a vacation after spending the last few months in Mysore.
We will arrive in Bangkok on the 15th of December and stay there for 2 days and then head to Koh Samui, which is an island off the coast. There is a yoga shala there that we will practice at and then hopefully just hang out and relax. The island is supposed to be beautiful, if not a little touristy. We heard there is a Starbuck's on the island. I won't lie to you, I can't wait to go to the Starbucks. We will be in Koh Samui for 3 weeks and then back to Bangkok where we fly back to Bangalore. I have decided to just come straight home from our Thailand trip instead of going back to Mysore so I will then leave for the grueling flight back home. (I actually don't think it will be grueling).
Jason is going to stay in Mysore after we leave until the end of February when the family is supposed to go on tour. Then he will join us back in the states. It will be hard to have him so far away from us, but I know he would really like to stay to see them off. I will just have to constantly email him about how soft our bed at home is, or about all the fresh spinach and avacados I am eating!
Nothing much else to report here. The yoga practice has been going fine. The shala has been very busy. There are yoga students everywhere! It will probably drop off some soon because Sharath will go to Goa for a bit, but it will explode in January and Febuary I think. It has been kind of cool, bordering on cold here. We are all wearing the one long sleeve shirt we each brought every day.
OH yeah, and we might do something this weekend, since it is MY BIRTHDAY! The BIG 3-0! There is a girl living above me who is also turning 30 on the same day. Trippy! We will have to put the 20's out of their misery and enter the 30's in style.
