Okay, are those not the cutest 7th graders ever? These are some of the boys from my 7th grade computer class. I haven't had a chance to take a picture of the girls yet, but they are also adorable.
Yesterday, we went to Dharamsala after work, and I coerced one of my co-volunteers to go to the Tibetan Buddhist temple with me. The sign above explains the prayer wheels that surround the temple. "Om Mani Padme Hum," I believe, is the compassion mantra. I also coerced my co-volunteer to go into tthe Tibet museum with me (I paid his way, 5 Rs) (I think I'm the only one here who really loves museums). It was a good museum, with pictures and text explaining what happened to Tibet. In addition to pictures and text, there was a video of political prisoners who had escaped into exile, with footage of Chinese brutality. Very disturbing. Upstairs in the museum there were pictures of Tibet--the "roof top of the world." It is an amazingly beautiful place.
We ate dinner at the same place as last time, Carpe Diem, and we each ordered something called "Hello to the Queen" for dessert. I plan on reconstructing this at home. It was gram cracker crumbs with banana on top and icecream on top of that and chocolate syrup on top of that, with some coconut slivers. Yummmmy.
Hopefully there will be hiking today!
