I don't understand how the same thing happens every time. I have so much to write about but there just isn't ever any time and so the blogs end up being so scarce. Oh well, I will just have to make up for it later by talking every ones ears off. Well, since last time I have been traveling quite a bit. Which is great because then I get to see more of India, however traveling in India is not like taking a road trip in the states. There are no rest stops and pretty much there are no restrooms, well I take that back there are plenty of places to go to the restroom they just don't consist of a room with four walls and a toilet. First I went with some of the teachers and students from B.M.S.,the school I am doing my research on, to a hilltop resort called Dalhousie. It was a really beautiful place. The scenery was always amazing and unlike Udhampur the weather was COOL. I couldn't believe it but I was even cold at times. We spent our time sight seeing, shopping and hanging out in the hotel watching Indian Music videos. I love to see the ones where they are dressed in the traditional Indian clothes.

I was also able to go up to Shrinigar this last week. WOW!!!!! It was so beautiful as well. The Shrinigar valley is full of green crops and fruit trees are everywhere it is really a sight to see. The people are really just as beautiful as the land scape. Everything in Shrinigar was so different from any other place that I have seen in India. I actually able to go up in the mountain and there was still snow on the tops of a few of the mountains. I really want to go back some time and stay in one of the hundreds of houseboats on Dal lake. I was able to take a ride on the Shakaras which are adorable little boats that you can ride around on in. People selling Kashmiri handcrafts and other merchandise paddle up to you as you go around on the lake and you can shop while sitting in the boat. There is to much to tell and too little time.

I will post some pictures later. That's all for now folks.
