That last photo of Ringo and Mo has to be my favorite of the two of them.  Such a cute couple!

And look -- Ringo is wearing that green 1966 tour jacket...again!

Back home again

 March 3, 1968

So a lot has been said about Ringo leaving because of the food and Maureen leaving because of the bugs, but Ringo has also said that they didn't plan on staying for very long at Rishikesh.   And who could blame them?   Their son, Jason, was just 6 months old at the time. Babies at that age grow and change so quickly-- and there aren't many parents that want to leave their babies for months.  I am sure they were happy to get back to Zak and Jason.  

Class picture

 Before Ringo and Maureen left India, a huge "class photo" of everyone at Rishikesh was taken.  When you see the full large photo, you realize that quite a few students were there -- more than you realize.

Meal Time in India

 

February 1968 -  I am sure Ringo is there eating his beans.  The middle photo and the last photo are the same photo but the last one is more complete yet it cuts out Ringo.  So I thought I'd just share both of them.  

Arrival at the camp
