The Ganges River

We went to the Ganges River with our friends, Keir, Robyn and Zoe. First we stopped in Rishikesh, where we walked through the city that was made famous by The Beatles. We saw holy men, and saw alleys filled with everything Indian including cows and sandalwood. We stayed in the worst hotel with the most amazing view. Then we left there and went to spend a few nights in a tent on the banks of the holy Ganges. We did not see any dead bodies floating down but Troy rafted a class IV rapid called "The Wall." Sadly we lost him, sorry Bob and Arlyce. Ok kidding, he only got injured. It was beautiful and clean. Ali and Jaden swam in a little swimming hole because I wanted to keep them out of the current. They still talk about their trip to the Ganges and want to go back.
