today i am getting ready to chaperone the 7th grade "discovery week" trip to Rishikesh, India. school tuition cost includes a trip like this for all middle and high school students - and the chaperones go for free! oh yeah!
i'm psyched. we are going to be camping out in 'permanent' tents set up on the ganges river headwaters - we get to raft, bike, hike, oh man. i here the food is pretty good, indian basics - really looking forward to fresh food. looking forward to the kids i'll be working with too, i've got a group of 9 kids who i really like. i think this is going to feel a lot like 4H camp, with an Asia twist.
we leave tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 5:00, and fly to Delhi. In Delhi we get on a train (Delhi train station, woohoo! i can't wait to see it) to Rishikesh. then we hike it into camp around dinner time. we come back to Dhaka Thursday night.
i thought i would post a map and some images of rishikesh here (found online).
