Arrived in Dharamsala

I'm here and safe. Very high up in the mountains-- went up and up and up a windy road, to find this town in the middle of nowhere! Right out of the window is a view of a huge mist covered valley with snow peaks in the background. I made a nice friend on the bus-- she works with Tibetan Art at the British Museum. I visited the National Museum in Delhi yesterday-- really amazing art. I thought of all the Rubinites. I'll be here until Sunday, then I venture onwards to Bir!

(these are twitter style updates for now-- I'll write more description when I'm a little less jetlagged and disorientated!)

First Day

i'm back in Majnu-Ka-Tilla, the Tibetan refugee section of Delhi. It's far away.

The funny thing about returning to a far away place again and again is that no matter how far away you are, you're still you.

If you think about it, sixteen hours on a plane is actually not that much to fly halfway across the world.

Right now, I'm pretty jetlagged. My previous two times here I was out the door right away trying to explore Delhi while I'm here. This time I'm going to take it easy.

Apparently the monsoon started two days ago, but it hasn't rained yet.

I'll be taking a 12 hour trip to Dharamsala tomorrow evening, from where I'll make my way to Bir. Classes start on Monday.

All is well-- hoping everyone is doing well too :)
