I just got back from a trip to the Pakistan/India border out of Amristrar in Punjab. We saw the changing of the guard and lowering of the flag and, essentially an interesting cross between fair, rally, and party. We also visited the Golden Temple in Amristrar -- unbelievable, and got caught in a political rally for India's new Prime Minister on our way home. I am just overwhelmed by the patience, playfullness, and helpfulness of most people we have met here. I think the internet is fixed so maybe I'll be able to upload a couple of examples of driving here, images of the temple, people, and fort we saw on the way home. We were all majorly happy to see the white peaks, trees, and winding roads denoting our return to Himachal Pradesh. Especially happy to arrive at home base where Rakesh had some delicious pizza he made waiting for us.
