It was all a matter of logistics. We must be in Benares soon to begin our studies and productivity. We are only being responsible and mature.<BR/><BR/>Dharmasala is beautiously picturesque, nesteled in the mountains with steep, winding paths leading to the homes. We took breakfast on a rooftop and were eye to eye with the circling hawks. The main drag seems a bit commercial, lots of shops and sevices catering to the large tourist population. Today we'll take it easy, walk, maybe check out a museum dedicated to providing knowledge on the Chinese occupation of Tibet. <BR/><BR/>Hope the trip went well, Jake. Looking forward to hearing all about it.<BR/>Namaste jisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33800460.post-1159242392156643672006-09-25T20:46:00.000-07:002006-09-25T20:46:00.000-07:00It is so beautiful.

Looking at those photos, I can't imagine ever leaving the mountains. have a wonderful time and keep us posted. Are you going to hook up with Nora and rachel later? Hope it's not the end of the traveling trio. The Shire is pretty beautiful now, too. Soft Fall days, warm and dreamy and most of the trees still in leaf against a bright blue sky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
