From Brahma to Buddha, Fall 2008

I’m sure other people have written about how beautiful Leh is, but I just have to add that it’s SPECTACULAR. I’ve barely taken any pictures of the landscape, because I don’t think that I’ll be able to do it justice. There are thousands of flowers and trees everywhere. As Tracy put it, they’re all the most beautiful that you’ve ever seen. The mountains are incredible and every morning, they’re even more snow-peaked. I’ve been listening to “The Sound of Music,” because it seems to fit the mood :) All of us are so happy and peaceful here.
We have been sleeping a lot these past few days to adjust to the altitude, so yesterday, Natalie and I woke up around 5:00 AM. We went into the tea room and watched the sun rise while I was reading and she was drawing (her drawings are incredible!). The morning is such a great time of day- I’ll have to start waking up earlier at home!
In a couple of days, we’re going to Domkhar and we won’t have a chance to e-mail.
Hope everything’s going well for all of our friends and family at home!
(I LOVE India)
