Arrived in Dharmasala

Our last night in Varanasi was spent at Daali and Bantu's house listening to two world-renowned sitar and tabla players performing traditional Indian music. It was amazing to experience that music in a private recital.
We flew from Varanasi to Amritsar and enjoyed our one night in the "RV Continental" (our nicest hotel by far) and the group visited the Golden Temple.
The bus ride from Amritsar to Dharamsala was especially painful for those of us that had fallen sick, but we all survived and Dharamsala is gorgeous. We're staying in the guest house of a monastery that is a few flights of stairs down and out of the city which is a tranquil reprieve from our busy schedule. Everybody is loving Dharamsala and we've all enjoyed some delicious "Mo-Mo's" from the street vendors. A few more nights here in the town then we hike up to a even more "zen-like" retreat for a few last days before heading back to Delhi, and then Seattle.
We're loving the cooler temperatures-- it even rained this morning!
