Tashi Delek (hello in Tibetan)


These are autorickshaws. They’re probably the easiest way to get around Delhi. The first time I rode in one it was pretty scary, but now I think they’re actually pretty fun


This is the bikerickshaw that we rode in


This is Old Delhi. It’s really crowded



A familiar site (Kate, I guess they’re here too)



Gandhi Memorial


Here we are on the train to Agra (where the Taj Mahal is). From left to right, there’s Geshe-la, Kendell, Emily, Eva, Julia, me, and Taylor


The Taj Mahal; touristy, but I had to take a picture


This is Lucy, me, and Marissa, and some boys who wanted to take a picture with us (I think they wanted to take pictures with Lucy and Marissa, and I just happened to be walking with them)



Cow (a common sight)


In the Agra train station on the way back. These kids were asking us for food and money, then they started playing with us. They really like taking pictures. The people from our group are Taylor, Marissa (with her mouth covered), Lucy, Kendell, Elise, Rachel, Diana, and Julia



This is the Imperial hotel, where we went in Delhi for wireless internet. It’s really ritzy, and it seemed so strange to walk back to the YMCA from here at night, because there were so many people sleeping in tents on the sidewalk



This was my first view of the mountains



Julia, Kendell, Lucy, Marissa, Elise, and I walked down to a stream that runs along side the campus the night we got here



This is the roof of the guesthouse



This is the view from the roof of the guesthouse


Monks debating (it’s a really big thing here)


The view from McLeod


Prayer wheels (Inside each wheel is a prayer written out. Every time someone spins one, it’s like sending out a thousand prayers. It’s the same idea with prayer flags. I just think it’s a very cool thing to think about)



Sarah (the name of the campus where we are right now). Julia, Will, and I were really excited when we realized that we could read it



Refugee artwork


Julia, Lucy, Will, and I watched the sunset when we were in McLeod (Julia was standing on the other side of me, so she’s not in this picture)
