Some people may think it's pointless to travel to the Himalayas in monsoon season. The rain, the landslides, the fog, the veiled views, blah blah blah. Well, all those things may be true, but you also get hill towns with almost no other tourists, guesthouses with rates cut in half, and just possibly a glimpse of those mighty mountain tops...if you're patient and a little lucky!!

India looks much better!
Lori, the blog is great! I'd say this definitely shows quite an improvement of India from what you saw your first few weeks! I'm reading the book INTO THIN AIR by Jon Krakauer (Judy's book) that is all about his experience with mountaineering starting there in Darjeeling. You'll find it especially interesting after seeing some of the actual places. Love you and Miss you.

Very pretty
I love the pictures of the Himalayan sunrise - very beautiful. Mom said that you're finished with your classes and are on your way to Indonesia to work on your research. I hope you learned a lot in school and that your research goes well. Can't wait to hear more. Miss you. Take care. Love you.

Hey!
You are so good at writing what you are seeing and experiencing!! I sit and read your blog and imagine it and then I look up and I see Tommy eating a mouth full of sand and Brody is just watching in amusement!! Your blog really takes me where you are, which is good because I am not a good traveler and I would rather read about it!! PLUS having these two monsters I will not be going anywhere for a long long time!! Glad you are doing well!! I tried to call you before you left, but your phone was turned off---please keep in touch!!
