Today we hiked to a waterfall just outside of McLeod Ganj. It was a beautiful morning and the water was clear cold Himalayan mountain fresh. There's a very cool cafe at the top where we had some delicious masala chai. The mountains here are amazing, very steep and surround the entire village.

















This is Mani-Lhakhang, or on the English tourist map of Dharamsala "Prayer Wheels and Stupa". The streets here are full of vendors, people walking, and an occasional cow or two. The town is only two streets and this is one of them.

This week we are planning on visiting the Tibetan Refugee center to talk with Tibetans who crossed the Himalayan border from the Tibet Autonomous Region (China). We also plan on meeting Tenzin Tsundu, a famous political activist and poet (you should google him and read his stuff). And on Monday we are planning on going to see the Dalai Lama teach at the Namgyal temple. yappo dug! (means "it's good" in Tibetan, which we have grown quite fond of saying excessively after every sentence in a Borat voice).
In two weeks we'll be headed back to Delhi and then to Nepallll.
