My life feels like a countdown; I got really excited when I realized today that its March. But thats partly because my birthday is in March, which makes it a generally exciting month.
Its also exciting because on Saturday I'm spending all night on a bus going to Dharamsala. Planning on seeing the Dalai Lama speak and poking around the Tibetan Government in Exile if I don't feel too awkward. Oh, and did I mention money spent at Tibetan craft centers goes to the refugees? Thats an incentive to buy tibetan handicrafts if I've heard one.
My friends, realizing I'm leaving so soon, are giving me lists of places to do and visit. Really when I get back from this vacation I have less than two months in India, and I'm really happy I've gotten to go to all the places that I have. There are always more places to see in India, but I'm content with the amount of traveling I've done, food I've eaten, things I've bought. The rest is a few check-offs, treats saved for the end, souvenirs, and extra niceties. While I'm eager to get back home to the dogs and family (I've gotten made fun of for putting it in that order, but who can blame me?) I think I'll mostly miss the people, Indians and ex-pats, and wish I had more time with them.
But anyways, pictures to come from Dharamsala! (and hopefully the Holi celebration too :)
