I'm back!! Did you miss me??

I don't mean I'm back from India-I just got out of a 10 day Buddhist Retreat. It was so needed. My senses were on overload and I needed a silence break. We had 1 hour a day to discuss the teachings and the rest was silence..but you know how girls are so around the 6 th day we started gabbing a bit at night. I mean I slept in a dorm with 8 other girls!!! We ranged from 24 years old to 51. What an experience. I learned alot! Wow I had many misperceptions about the practice. And its so cool to meet people going through the same thing you are-what to do with your life, where to live, how to make money and still have freedom to travel etc. And it was so sweet. My friends from Rishikesh who are here as well came to "pick me up" from the retreat the last day. I felt like I was a kid being picked up from camp by my parents. It was really sweet. I love these people. I am in Dharamkot, in the mountains. I plan to be here a few more days then head to Amritsar to see the Golden Temple. Lets see how I get back to society here...its pretty chaotic!
