Today was our last full day in Bellur. The bus will be here to pick us up at 6:30am to take us to the Bangalore airport to begin the second leg of our trip. From there we will fly to Chennai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since my night time is your morning, I have already had a full Monday. You may be having breakfast, but our last dinner starts soon. I\u2019m already packed with the exception of the toiletries I\u2019ll need before leaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today the Brahmans got up very early and came to cook us a feast for lunch. I took some photos, but you won\u2019t get to see those until my next post because I\u2019m trying to keep my writings and photos chronological. I will say this, the feast was incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are currently having a thunderstorm, which has been an almost daily occurrence. The weather app is telling me we\u2019ll have more of the same as we continue our journey. Fear not. I brought an umbrella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first picture, below, is a view of the practice hall from Salamba Sarvangasana (aka shoulder stand). Because in this pose you balance on your shoulders with the back of the head\/neck on the floor looking up to the ceiling, this is what the view looks like. The ceiling has things hanging for acoustic purposes, but it\u2019s really quite abstract and I thought it would make a good photo. I was right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
