| ハリドワールの朝 Morning in Haridwar |
今回のリシケシの旅は、インド旅史上最短・その朝に行くこと決めて、
This trip to Rishikeshi was shortest notice in my travel history in India; I made up my mind to go in that morning, and after work I was in a night train. All this happens because of my Japanese friends who are experts on traveling in India!
お仕事を終えた夜には列車に乗っていました。
こんなことができるのも、インドツウの日本人のお友達のおかげ！

リシケシはガンジス川を囲むような小さな町。
ヨガの聖地と言われていますが、
なにげに行ったのは初めて。
Rishikeshi is a small town around the Ganges river.
It is called a ---- , but it is my first visit.

川辺を歩くのがほんとうたのしい
マーケットはサトヴィックなにぎわい
すてきなカフェも
もちろんヨガができるところがたくさんあって
ゲストハウスやアシュラムには世界からヨギーがやってきていて
なんというすばらしいところなんだ！
住みやすそうで、胸騒ぎがするわ
I really enjoyed walking along the river,
markets are vibrant and sattvic, pretty cafes and of course places to practice Yoga are many,
yogis from around the world stays guest houses and ashrams,
how nice is that! It causes some excitement as it seems most conformable to live in!

今やってきてよかったんだね！
年末からの水のテーマがまだ続いています。
心と身体を巡る水、そろそろすっかり入れ替わったのを感じています。
Water element has been a key theme for me since last year end.
I started feel by now all water in my body and astral plane is renewed.
さて、リシケシ滞在中の一コマ写真。

お世話になったムクタさんのおうち（左の黄色の建物）。
リシケシから少し離れているのどかなところ。
アーユルヴェーダの生徒さんたちがちょうど日本からやってきていて、
講座をされていました。
ちなみに、ここの水道水がおいしくて、
インドで水そのまま飲めるなんてびっくりでした。
Mukuta san's house where we stayed this time, is the yellow building you see on the left. It is a bit far from Rishikeshi. Students from Japan spent time there to learn Ayurveda from her.
By the way, the water from the water tap is so tasty, and I never thought of drinking it in India.

Him Vedic Projectのヒマラヤ産商品の販売をキイロイ家にて。
旅人が集まって、実にアットホームな感じ。
At night, we helped Kathak show and pop up shop of Himarayan products by Him Vedic Project at Maa Vaibhav Laxmi Yellow Guest House. Travelers gathers and it makes you feel at home indeed.

...Cafe...
リシケシがほっとするのは、
リシケシがほっとするのは、
きっとインドのどこよりも、気軽に日本食が食べられるところ！
（リシケシは町全体がベジタリアンなので、和食もベジのみ☆）
定番どころに連れていってもらいました♪
One of the reasons which makes me feel comfortable is probably because it is easier to reach out Japanese food than any cities in India. (in terms of price & availability, and they all are vegetarian !)

I was taken to Rishikeshi 101 cafes but it cannot be wrong!
