In McLeod Gang, which is about 15 min. North of Daramsala. It is really nice to be in a much quieter, cleaner place than Delhi. It has been peaceful and more our pace to walk through this Tibetan refugee area. Yesterday we went to the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts. We were able to see them practicing some music routines: think traditional Tibetan music meets the movement of marching band. It was really awesome. They do really great things at TIPA, especially keeping the Tibetan Arts alive and moving. We are going to miss it by 4 days...there is a big performance/celebration for the Dali Lama receiving his Nobel Peace Prize, which they do every anniversary. But, at least we got to hear them and watch them practice. And I got a copy of a synopsis of a traditional Tibetan opera, which I would love to use some how, even just in the class room to dramatize it. Today we are going to the temple and area where the Dali Lama resides. And then we get to go back on the bus!
The bus ride was/is an overnight, 12 hour, no sleep ride...which we get to repeat tonight! Yay! ick.

We have to go back to Delhi...boooooooooooooo!

Turns out you can't ship tea, incense, or cameras...all of which we had packed in the boxes to be shipped. Of course. :) And we very well are not going to just ditch all of that, so we will go back, pick all that up, and get train tickets to go to Jaisalmer, Rajastan. Hopefully.

I find myself worrying about what the hell I am going to do in 2 months, how I will survive on the little money I will have, and what not. But then I don't even know what I will be doing tomorrow or the next day...
So, why worry? It will all work out, right? It's got to.
