Happy Birthday, Jeevika!

Actually, her birthday was last week but today she treated us all to lunch.  Apparently, that is the tradition here.  George had better start saving his rupees for October 30.

Jeevika is second from the right with Stacy, Simlee and Angad (a friend of Gurneet and UFV Chandigarh).


Kathryn on the left with Adam and Adi.

 I wore my new Indian suit today and the students were very complimentary.  "You look cute, ma'am," one said.


Our lunch was at another of Chandigarh's trendy restaurants, Mainland China.  Great food that was more traditional Chinese--with a bit of spice.

Shimla continues.....

Whew!  I found the good photos of Jakhoo Temple and the giant Hanuman that were lost somewhere in my MacBook.  Between my poor Mac skills and a deteriorating internet connection, each successful post is a minor miracle.




More monkeys at the foot of Hanumanji.

This little guy was having so much fun climbing up and sliding down.

These big guys with their big sticks were protecting us from those cute monkeys.




Some of them weren't so cute.



A view of Shimla from the temple at 8000 feet.

Stay tuned for more sites from around that beautiful city.
