Books, guitars, yoga mats and more...
Hello everyone,
I hope these words find you well.
As our departure date rolls closer I thought it wise to begin a dialogue around the ‘extras’ that we will be packing with us to India. We do not need twelve copies of the Lonely Planet India Guide, twelve water filters, or twelve guitars, for example. But, a nice, small assortment of books and other items could be nice to share!
Please post comments to this blog entry and let the group know what extras you were thinking of bringing-- if any. ( Books, musical instruments, water filters, games, etc.)
Also, I will be offering yoga classes throughout the program. I would like to know how many of you have yoga mats that you could bring or were already planning on bringing. If you are interested but do not own a mat, I have a few extras and could probably find more. Let me know via comments on the blog if you would like one!
Lastly, we did not mention on the packing list to bring a towel. Bringing a small towel may be nice and get well used.
Be well and see you soon,
Erin

I've got a water filter!
Let's see...and copies of A Fine Balance, A Suitable Boy, and Shantaram, which are all massive tomes so I might only bring 1 or 2. Any preferences?

A little Martin backpacker for those who are familiar with them.

Those are great, Nathan! We also have a really nice program guitar that lives in Delhi and travels/can travel along with us.
Sounds like we'll have lots of music this fall!

I am going to bring a deck of cards and a few easy reads. But I don't have a yoga mat and I am interested in the yoga classes.

I forgot to mention a harmonica.

I'm bringing a backpacker guitar as well, Nathan. Also my C harmonica. Erin, I'd love an extra mat if you have one. Not sure about books yet...

I am bringing some books focused on anatomy, eastern medicine and philosophy. Also, a few yoga mats, some knitting needles, a deck of cards and my hack if I can find it. We will see what else finds itself in my pack as the days unfold:)

Oh I forgot to mention books..... I might bring the far pavillions depending on if I am finished before I leave or not. Also The art of happiness and possibly a book that is just called India.

Yo yo, Erin sounds like all is well and I hope you are having a good time. Give me a shout when you get a chance.
P.S. the snow is creeping down the mountain in Anchor town. Skis are waxed and I'm ready for some POW :-)
TALK TO YOU SOON.
YO BRO
