In the principality of Dharmasala the official residence of the Dali Lama in exile. Just returned from visiting his temple and absorbing our spiritual buzz. Extremely intricate statue deities so loaded with colour and of course sophisticated carvings.
Again we were treated to a thunder and lightening storm this afternoon, lasting about one hour and then clears. Fortunate for us as we went for a hike to the falls. As a result of the rain the falls were in full force.
We visited the Tibetan village as India has established a special area for displaced Tibetans. The museum was incredible. The crafts and fine painting institution were really interesting for Susan. Because the culture of Tibet is being destroyed by the Chinese occupation there is more Tibetan culture here than in Tibet.
We are going on an overnight trek up the mountain tomorrow. To Dharmakot. We are looking forward to the hike and overnight stay. What awaits us is a mystery...
We think we have higher speed internet and trying for a picture. Susan's favorite ----monkeys.
