Hey guys! It’s been pretty foggy here in dharamsala since we got here, but today we went on a little hike up to Dal Lake (a very muddy “spiritual” spot where apparently some followers take a dip once a year…yuk!) and the fog lifted for just enough time that we could see some of the higher Himalayan peaks (someone told us they were 5-6k meters…about 17,000 ft). It was beautiful. The cooking class was awesome last night, so much that we are all going back tonight for bread night and maybe tomorrow night for momos (last night was actually soups..which included momos). Can’t wait to come back and cook! Ben says that if we go all three nights we can get some sort of certificate if we provide a passport photo (I think Ben should do this…it’d be fun to say my cousin is “a certified Tibetan cook”!). Anyway, the guy who teaches the classes is very interesting, he told us last night about how he escaped out of Tibet to become a refugee here in dharamsala. It was a 28 day trek through the mountains in the middle of winter (when the Chinese army is fewer) with just one other person! Sara and I are talking about having a India party when we get back to share photos etc. More details on that to come. On a different note, kathy what’s the plan for thanksgiving? Did you guys decide whether on not to have it down at my place? Apparently I might need to spend some extra time cleaning it after Jim & kathi trashed it with their wild parties this week (that’s the word on the street). Well, we have one more day here before heading back toward Delhi. Sara and I are planning to take a little longer hike tomorrow with our new map in hand (didn’t realize trail maps were available until today!). Well, the power keeps going in and out here at the STD (not sure what it stands for, but it’s a internet booth) so I’ll talk to ya’ll later!Oh, and I  agree…Sara is definitely cuter!Probably won’t post more photos, it’s a pain to hire someone to burn them to CD and then resize and upload…we’ll post them all when we get back.
