Dharamsala

Its Friday night and I just left a place called Learning and Ideas for Tibet. They had a pizza and movie night where they showed 3 docs on Tibetan refugees and it was extremely sad. We met a guy 2 days ago who weve met with twice to convers about his life and he says how hard it is. He hasn't seen his family in 4 years now. I plan to go back on Monday and volunteer to help refugees learn some English. I am staying here with my friends Blair and Aaron who I met in Rishikesh. We are all sharing a room staying in Mcleod Ganj but plan to go up the hill to Bhagsu Sunday. We all volunteered yesterday to take these Tibetan babies to temple for a few hours. There is a free daycare for these children provided for parents who need to work who can't afford daycare. My baby's name was Keysung-I thought it was a boy till I changed the diaper!! She was so cute-and clapped and blew kisses to all the shoipkeepers on our way to temple. We were not allowed to take pictures for safety but in a few days there should be pics on their website. I'll forward it to you guys. They had their own photog doing that for us.
The weather here is much nicer than Rishikesh, not hot, a bit rainy and were in the mountains. I've decided to do this Intro to Buddhism 8 or 10 day course so I will try to write beforehand. I won't be able to speak for the duration so no internet either. Hope you're all well. Experience supercedes anything else.... xoxo
