From Brahma to Buddha, Spring 2008

Tso Moriri, the High Altitude Lake we didn't reach because of road conditions

So we are half way into our student-led and our days are winding down in India. We attempted to go to Tso Moriri only to confront the road deep in sand. I suggested we floor it and plow through the sand, but as I spoke a car did that and got stuck in the sand. Not a good idea apparently. We decided to go to Puga instead and we camped there for two nights. We hung out playing cards, which I must comment on Harrison and Ellie's intensity of card playing, especially the game Idiot. We also saw some nomads who had an adorable baby, Harrison chased the local kids in the area while he played his harmonica, playfully of course. We ate lots of yummy camp food and saw lots of yaks. Nyamgal and Harrison acted out Lara's drawing of them in the sand.....which by the way was a whale and sea turtle. We saw a beautiful monastery today and there was a cow that really liked hanging out with us at the campsite.
