More of the same amazing place!
I am just now sitting in the small cafe of our guesthouse, I am drinking lemon ginger and honey tea, outside it is still wet because of the heavy rains earlier. It is monsoon season here and in the north it rains for a few hours every afternoon. Today we hiked to some beautiful waterfalls and lots of people asked me to take pictures with their babies. One man just handed me his beautiful baby before I really knew what was going on. I was actually really glad because the babies are beautiful here and i have been dyeing to hold one!!! well after that about one hundred Indian men all wanted "just one snap miss..." which got to be a little overwhelming, but it was totally cool and i just told them when i had enough(which was literally 100 pictues later, including the "secret" ones they thought they were taking) it is really different to be the exotic one, definitely something i have never experienced growing up in cali. we have met some great Indian Muslim friends and we are going over to their house for the second night to have dinner. they are so respectful, kind, and hospitable that it puts our culture to shame!! its funny because they are both young and very prosperous buisines men but they live in a one room studio. its just the Indian way. we sit on their floor to hang out or eat dinner or whatever. i think we have got a really rare look into the indian lifestyle. i think tomorrow we are walking to a Tibetan children's refugee camp and going to volunteer with the kids for a while. we don't want to leave but we have so much more to see.............!!!!!!!!!!! that is the only worry i have in my life right now so i'm not complaining.
