We arrived in Dharamsala on Monday. Highlights include: the mountains are so beautiful as are the Tibetan people. Went to teachings with His Holiness the Dalai Lama yesterday morning and this morning. So many Buddhist devotees from all over the world, monks and nuns dressed in maroon and yellow, Tibetan bread being tossed out to those of us seated and listening to the teachings, and cups of tea being handed from one person to the next, kind of like getting snacks at the ballpark but of course better. Can't say as I am a big fan of the Tibetan butter tea tho.
Yoga with Scott, last night seeing the sunset over the mountains as our yoga session ended.
Yesterday was a beautiful sunny afternoon. Took a hike up the mountain roads to see a Temple and a waterfall. The views are breath-taking.
To all of my friends at Care Wisconsin, you will be happy to know that I have not had any dangerous encounters with monkeys, and oh yes, the poop on the road has not been as bad as anticipated. There were a couple of sketchy bathrooms in Dehli, but no worse than some campsite outhouses.
I have been doing way too much shopping for treasures at the stands and shops lining the streets. It is hard to resist all of the beautiful handiwork. I should sign off for now, need to eat lunch before our next adventure this afternoon.
