A renegade blog post!

Ah! Today I found a post I had written a little while ago, April 18tg that never got published! Shucks! Well, better late than never :-)... Here we go back in time... ........... Being in Dharamkot is like being in heaven... The food is fantastic, mountains AWEsome, Tibetans are georgeous, little traffic, quiet, GREEN, fresh...  I love it here! We found a Vipassana center about a 3 minute walk from our guesthouse, and have been going for group meditation once or twice a day.  We also started taking voice lessons from a really wonderful indian woman who I am rapidly falling in love with.  Otherwise, we have spent a few hours each day walking around the hills; paths between towns; and through the woods.  It's been relaxing, and lovely.   We had intentions to do a 3 day trek in the mountains, but we have been inhibited by the cold, rainy weather; and an injury to my foot (not a big deal, just took a spill and have a cut on my foot where my shoes rub).  So... Hiking is temporarily on hold.   We have been spending a little time with our good friends Halo and Wayve from the US.  They are here studying classical Indian dance and drumming together.  They will be here until the end of May, so it will be nice to have that company when Ben leaves.  They are coming over for dinner and chai tonight.  We lured them with brown rice, and fresh vegetables... Having a kitchen is great! Pretty mellow...  Time for voice lessons...  "Do re mi fa so la ti do"!  Or in classical Indian, which we are learning..."sa re ga ma pa dha ni sa"!
