Below – a man selling hats and things.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As soon as I walked up to this book seller the man selling books tossed the blue one in the middle on top of the stack. It’s the only book in English.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thumbs up!<\/p>\n

I had to pay this man 10 Rs ($0.16 US) to take his picture. It was worth it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I finally bought some of these skillet roasted peanuts. The peanuts were pretty good, although different than you’d expect. The shell was blackened but the peanut inside was still rather raw tasting. Not bad, but not necessarily good either.<\/p>\n

Walking across the bridge on the way back to the rickshaw.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another look up the river from the bridge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And a final look at Alandi, also from the bridge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This guy is washing his motorcycle in the river.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No trip to Alandi is complete without cow sightings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the way out we stopped at another temple. These ladies arrived just as we got there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>

The temple in the background is under construction. Nana said he thinks it’ll be done by next year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tractor hauling away dirt from a construction site.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cobbler.<\/p>\n

Class with Sunita this morning was a surprise – inversions, working on hip actions. We did a 20 minute Sirsasana broken down into 4 parts (about 5 minutes each). We came down in between each of these versions – Sirsasana with Parsva Sirsasana and came down, then we went up again and redid Parsva Sirsasana, then we came down and went back up for Parivrtta Ekaipada Sirsasana, then we came down again and went back up for Ekaipada Sirsasana. For those of you not knowing Sanskrit, that’s four different versions of headstand.<\/p>\n

To answer Edith’s question, Geetaji has not taught any classes this month. I’ve seen her only one time this month sitting on the porch with Sunita but haven’t seen her since. As sad as I am to not have any classes with Geeta, I feel very fortunate to have Sunita teaching.<\/p>\n

I’m off to bed now. I’ve got 7am class tomorrow with Prashant followed by another led practice after class.<\/p>\n
