I was never there but It's very similar to my favorite town of Manali, except D has way more Tibetians (very nice people--be sure to get some momo's at a momo shop for me!!), hippies, and marijuana (from what I've been told) so stay away from the latter!! You'll love the mountian views, walking trails all over in and out of town and getting out of the city. Enjoy!! Strike up some conversations with hippies and budhist seekers in the restaurants or bus station. They are interesting to listen to. Ed says hello. BE SURE TO LEARN "thank you" in hindi..."Done-ya-wad". It comes in handy for winning favor with the locals. Then find out what this means... "chai doo-khan ka-HA hey?" (on the ka-HA, emphasize the HA and make it sound nasally). Then ask, "Apko chai cha-HE-ay?" Let me know how it goes! I can’t wait to read about Dharmasala.

Diwali is a Hindu festival and Hindi is the language. But I am looking forward to the upcoming blogs. Gina sends her love. I got home safe and am thinking about your trip to the Himalayas.
