Well, I've been away from the computer for a while because I have been in peaceful Sidhpur, just south of Dharamsala for the last 9 days. Behold Thosamling, a nunnery for western nuns reachable only by a 15 minute walk down a winding footpath through the rice paddies, over streams and irrigation ditches, past women with big baskets on their heads harvesting the crop, past cows, an orphanage, and kids playing cricket, all the time approaching the beautiful snow-capped Himalayan mountains. They fed me well, 3 times a day- lots of fresh veggies, and I had plenty of time to myself to read, reflect, go for walks in the fields, and generally refresh my traveling spirit. It was so nice. I think the pictures say it all!
