Saturday…..Peace Prayer Day…..
In the morning there was the usual schedule, we went to a class by Gurvinderpal Singh on Kesh (hair), it was okay, he needs more improvement on public speaking. For lunch I popped to Walmart. Got some fruit and went to pay, I walked out of the store and noticed I had...
Friday…..Day 2, Summer Solstice…..

Until next time…..
Had a bit of a lie in this morning, I think the pronthe kicked in! We got to the Gurdwara around 5:30 am. At 6am Chardi Kala Jatha performed part 2 of Assa Di Vaar. It was very powerful. Chardi Kala Jatha singing Kirtan For email subscribers Chardi Kala Jatha We have...

The first person we met in 3HO…..
Early start and off to Sardhana, still amazes me how the sangat here start at 3:40am everyday. For lunch we met our dear friend phenji Satsundri Kaur. When we first came across the 3HO community in 2005, Satsundri Kaur introduced herself to us, she then introduced us...
Great friends…..
Yesterday as soon as I tasted the lungar, I just knew this would lead me to having stomach issues. I really need to be more strict now and still realise that the stomach issue has not been resolved. So this morning was a lazy morning, just recovering and taking pity...

Land of Enchantment…..
After a good nights sleep we packed said our goodbyes to Amrit Phenji and drove to San Francisco airport, as we are only forty minutes away from San Francisco airport we got to hertz rental company for 8:30. It was definitely sad to leave California. We then took the...
Spending time with loved ones…
Today we went to see Avtar Kaur, more affectionately known as Beji. We first met Beji in 2007 at the amazing Jaap sahib course. Beji is 80 years old but you could never tell, she keeps active. Even though we met Beji and Papaji a few months ago it is a great pleasure...
Great friends…..
Last day at this amazing location, we were very lucky that the lady at the information centre in Truckee mentioned this hotel. The hotel is in a town called Camp Richardson which has a population of 75, it is only ten minutes drive from South Lake Tahoe. Before making...

Lake Tahoe…..
Laundry day is here, so an early morning trip (7am) to Mr Suds, the laundry in South Lake Tahoe. Even though we are only traveling for three weeks, it is still best to travel lightly. Back at the hotel I said to Sangeet we need to figure out where to eat. Sangeet...
Camp Richardson…..
We only booked the motel for one night therefore are checking out today. We asked the front office if we could leave the car in their car park whilst we have a wander around downtown, she said yeah of course! Your car parked there makes me look busy so please go ahead...

Mandeep Kaur from Sage Hills Healing took the yoga set this morning, it was a fantastic class. She explained about Kundalini yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. It reminded me of my Kundalini Yoga Immersion course at Espanola NM. Picture of Mandeep Kaur Mandeep began her...
Car keys…..!
Well after a good sleep, I noticed Sangeet had already gone to recite Japji Sahib after trying to wake me up. So I thought, better wake up, shower and go to the class. I was impressed with my timing, I got to the class just before they started relaxation! We have a...

Hi, thanks for visiting my blog, feel free and have a look around. Here is a bit about me, as you may or may not have guessed my name is Mandeep, I work to travel as opposed to work to pay bills and die! Every trip for me is an adventure, I have been very fortunate to stumble across amazing places and meet awesome people along the way.
