... which involved dropping us in middle of Kotwali bazaar and sending us on a scavenger hunt. It wasn't a contest, but our group totally won. Before dinner I dropped of all my clothes to a tailor and then after hiked to the river with my fellow volunteers, which was a harrowing experience. The mountains are beautiful and amazing and I woke up to the most beautiful view today.<br>

... steep and jagged some other sections were; we didn't quite remember hiking up them, and we glad that it was easier to come down. Of course in true Jonathan style, after consulting with a man at the top in Triund, he decided that it would be a better idea to take a different route down.

... a dream that her daughter and I were drowning in the ocean because someone pushed us in and she was trying to pull us out but couldn't. She woke up and prayed for an hour and she told me to be very carful today. She was looking around and realized that one of her calenders had Indian gods on it instead of Tibetan ones so she took it down in case that was the cause. My family said they would be back Friday so when they had not returned or called by Sunday ...

... a cup....so amazingly amazing.(sorry Dan, Starbucks is not the best in the field of Chai) The cooks make us a cup everyday at 3 (tea time). I promise that I will come back with a really good Chai recipe that I can make for all of you. Today, the staff planned a picnic for all the volunteers preceded by a trip to a Hindu temple.

We decided we were too old for this type of transportation. Another option would be to take a train. The main problem here was that there was no train station in Rishikesh hills nor in Dharamsala...we would have to take a taxi ...

Hey all Just finished an awesome week long teaching course in Bir (a small Tibetan settlement near Dharamsala) from Tai Situ Rinpoche which was great but the only thing is it comes with a 2 hour a day meditation ...

... lots of Tibetan monks here. They all wear distinctive red robes, appear to wander around a lot and add a certain something to the look of the place. * The wildlife is interesting. There are troops of monkeys in the trees, HUGE eagles soaring overhead and we keep catching sight of glossy-coated ferrety things. We've also seen various lizards and a bright purple crow-like bird. * Someone here owns a cat, but it won't come down from the roof tops because of all the rather ...
