"Back in the Himalayas! Don't know how lucky you are, girl!"

Yes I am out of stupidly hot Rajastan and into beautiful, cool, clean, un-Indian Dharmsala (the main Tibetan community in exile). And I just heard word that His Holiness the Dalai Lama got into town yesterday which is exciting (Loz, anything you want me to pass on?).

The people are laid back, the air is clean, the hotel is so cute and the food isn't curry! wooohooo!

I'm staying here til i leave India at the beginning of May so I have spread alll my clothes across my room, put my toiletries in the bathroom, done some washing and set up shop. Tomorrow I'll sort out some volunteer work and start some yoga, then I am busy doing Tibetan cooking courses, reading, sleeping, eating, exploring, shopping and maybe even horseriding. Apparently you can even ski near here (Tim, still waiting for the link!).

Aaaaaaaaah
