Sunday

Today was busy. Went to market with Marie to purchase food for week. Went to class at Abhay'a little Iyengar studio. While in class we heard bells tinkling and Abhay told us there was a camel outside and we all ran down to see it.could ride if we liked. I did take a short ride. The camel was in bad shape and I felt bad for him. His fur was matted and he was very skinny. But it was fun. Another student ran after me taking pictures. The camel driver had not understood I only wanted a picture and wanted to take me around the block. With hand gestures I told him I wanted to go back and I climbed down and returned to class! What fun.

Tomorrow is the first day of classes at the institute. I was able to practice there yesterday with Randy before he left so I know where where everything is. Here you don't take the ropes down, there is a basket of them to make a sling. I hung from the free hangung rope and liked it very much.
