Hello from Emma
Julley everyone!
I’m sorry to say that my first blog posting is after a most unfortunate couple of days where I and almost everyone else in the group have been suffering from altitude sickness! Fortunately though Tracey makes a very good mother and Galen manages to keep smiles on our faces. Leh is perhaps the most beautiful place on earth with breathtaking snow covered mountains, picturesque monasteries with colorful Tibetan prayer flags, and simply clad friendly locals. The market is full of local foods and dried apricots as well as hand made jewelry and local woolen vests. Our guest house is spectacular with a beautiful vegetable and flower garden, cozy box beds, excellent food, and a flush toilet! The peacefulness of Leh is a nice change from the insanity of Delhi but I must admit I miss the gypsy (our local Delhi coordinators awesome open air jeep)! I hope everyone at home is doing wonderful and I miss you all more then words could describe.
Cheers!
