I met these lovely ladies at the market in Vrindavan, India. They make garlands all day for the deities at the temples. As sweet as their flowers, they smiled for my camera while they worked. I guess it is a good business since there are 5,000 temples in Vrindavan!

| Shopping in Arambol, India |

Until today I have been very conservative about my purchases…. the Jes found a little store that perfectly matches my taste. There were so many affordable pretty printed silk and cotton dresses. It was fun to trying them all on. If only I could check eight bags!
Don’t worry I didn’t buy these ridiculous pants!

I had so much fun window shopping at the little touristy bazaar in Arambol with Jes.

This year marks the twentieth anniversary of my yoga practice. It is a sacred gift I carry with me wherever I go. My mother introduced me to the benefits of yoga when I was a senior in high school, and we would go together every week. We loved the teachers at Jivamukti Yoga in the heart of the East Village, when it was still a small studio.
I was very excited to finally take a class in India, the true birthplace of yoga. Sadly, Jes’ favorite teacher Vijay left town so it was not the class we were expecting.  Even an average yoga class is better than no practice at all, right? It is a total treat to do yoga outside on a rooftop with gorgeous views of coconut tress and crazy crows spiraling around the sky. It made me forget about the hustle bustle of motorbikes and tourists and pushy shopkeepers downstairs.
I also rarely get to have a nice long class in New York, this one was over 2 hours! Most of the deep stretching (my favorite part) happens in the last part of class, and this often left out because of time constraints. It made me miss practicing with Dharma Mittra, whose 2 1/2 hour master classes helped me survive photo grad school.
After the long flight and the stress that comes before a long voyage it made my body and mind feel heavenly.  I never met a practicing yogi that complained about having trouble falling asleep at night. Somehow I managed to completely avoid getting jet lagged too!
The lovely view from the rooftop of the yoga studio.

Yummy Indian spiced scrambled eggs, I can’t to to try to make this for my husband, when I get home…
The view out my bedroom window, I switched to a larger room with a balcony for $2 more! :-)
Most of my clothes already looks like it was made in India! Ha!

Pink on pink! Someone left this Lonely Planet guide on the balcony.

After almost an entire day of travel from NYC I made it to Arambol, a fun and colorful hippie haven. Jes calls it “India lite” which is fine with me considering it is my first introduction to this magical country.
Every beach is so lovely at sunset.
Hippie o’clock at on the beach where everyone gathers to watch the sunset.
I arrived just in time to see the full moon. It is always so hard to photograph the her beauty!

| The Bunker: An oral history |
| 01.11.13 | No Comments |
Michaelangelo Matos‘ article is finally up on The Resident Advisor site, commemorating ten years of The Bunker’s history. I have been involved in The Bunker for over seven years now, photo documenting most of the events, hosting the party, welcoming artists in our home, and taking care of the flyer design until recently. Needless to say it has been a huge part of my life and also an immense creative outlet.

Next up on our tasting adventure was Iron Horse Vineyards. We were craving some bubbly on an exceptionally warm sunny day. We tried the sparkling flight and each shared sips of their lovely wine. Thankfully, it was food truck Friday so we were able to much on some fresh bruschetta. The produce in California is exceptional too.
