monkey

Today was defiantly the best day so far. I went trekking through the mountains. The trek totaled about 10 miles and was amazing. We had a guide that took us through a small village in the mountain. The cows and dogs look a lot healthier there. For once they were eating grass and not trash. While in the village I watched a women make a shawl. It amazed me how much effort and time is put into something small that wraps around your head. Made another friend today, it was another dog. The dog followed me from the village up the mountain and the whole hike. When the taxi came to get us at the end of the trek the poor dog ran after the car. In a way I feel like the dogs are like the Indian people, they love foreigners and follow them everywhere. After the trek I ate lunch with a few friends in Old Manali… I broke down and got pasta, im already ready to eat something other than Indian food. While in Old Manali I saw a monkey YES!!!! Coming back from Old Manali we were late for class so we hitched a ride with someone driving down the mountain, the man driving was very nice to drive a bunch of American students around.
