Auroville

I’ve been in India for about 2 and a half weeks now. It still doesn’t feel much like India, because I’m staying in Auroville, a 40 year old experiment in seeing how people from all over the world of all different religions, philosophies, colors, etc. can live together in peace. I urge you to visit the website at www.auroville.org to read about this amazing place. I plan to stay here for 6 weeks total, leaving when the weather gets really hot at the end of February. (For me, it’s plenty hot already, in the 80’s and 90’s every day.) One real joy for me is working with an angel named Anandi who runs an organic foods production center. She’s also planning to open a raw food restaurant soon, so I’m here helping her develop recipes, and prepare raw meals for people who are already coming to eat in this tasty and healthful way. I feel blessed to be working with Anandi, a beautiful Tamil woman who has lived in Auroville for the past 17 years, and seems to know everyone. We’re soul sisters! This is Anandi in the foreground at the Matrimandir, the spiritual center of Auroville.

After traveling with Lily and Emily, I've found that I much prefer to travel with someone, sooooooo I’m looking for someone to travel through northern India in March and/or tour Bhutan in April. If you’re interested, let me know!
