Mussoorie Week: What we did (more or less).

Took a car from Delhi to Mussoorie. (Sad to not have the train experience,
but we arrived relatively on time and not too worse for wear).
Dad in teaching / storytelling mode. Talking about stinging nettle and "Doc plant."
Forest fires and switchbacks / "Hair pin turns." Driving up wasn't fun.
Walking. Dad on the "Eyebrow" trail.
Got some shirts tailor made :)
Our guest house at the school. Dad busy with work emails.
Top of Flag Hill (Part of Jabarkhet Nature Reserve). Short-ish hike.
Cup of chai at a hole-in-the-wall shop near Batagad.
Char Dukan - some signs / inside another tea shop.
Walking through Sister's Bazaar. Learned later that the man in the background is
from Thunder Bay!
Reading from Steve Altar's memoirs (famous local author
who went to Woodstock around the same time as Dad).
 
Tibetan prayer wheels in Happy Valley.
Caught in a downpour while eating supper just past "the mall."
Exciting to have a taste of monsoon season.
Took goofy pictures while walking around Landour. Just because.
