we done did it!

oy yah. been a while up on that there mountain, meditating and whatnot. the retreat was awesome. there was a really wonderful group of people (although we couldn't talk to each other :)

i did, finally, get mine. i've been pretty healthy the whole time in india and was just waiting for the other shoe to fall. and it fell. i wasn't feeling so well when i arrived at the retreat, with a cold, but then i discovered that i had giardia. for one day i was at about a zero. i went down to the clinic and got some medicine, which fixed me up over time. but that night, i was whimpering 'mommy' in bed, freezing my boot off. let me tell you that breathing and digesting properly are wonderful wonderful gifts that i no longer take for granted.

on the day of my escape from the meditation center to the health clinic, i snuck into an internet cafe and learned that will (that's canadian will, not my brother will:) is coming to india! after a long journey, methinks he'll arrive tomorrow at 630am - yippee!!

dharamsala has lots to offer - jewelry making classes, massage classes, buddhist lectures and meditations, restaurants and coffee shops. quite easy to spend the day lolling about having chai with friends. which sounds like fun but gets rather boring after being blown about by the wind for the last few months. so i'm thinking i'd like to do a class.

one of these days :)
