From Delhi, a 14 hour overnight bus ride north into the Himalayas with the whole back row to myself. I was in the Manali area last spring and the mountains haven't moved. Or maybe they have, it is just that they are so humbling I would never be able to tell. They are still neck breaking steep and a little more snow-dusted than our last meeting. The sun offers plenty or warmth during the day, but with mountains so steep, it starts to fall away at about 330 pm and really doesn't clip the ridge until about 9am or so. There are few tourists this time of year, and most of the shops are closed but the Dragon restaurant is open every day with good food, hot soup, steaming chai, and a fireplace to keep the evenings warm. The village is full of puppies right now- black and chocolate colored fluff balls are running around everywhere. Most of them won't make it through the winter with the nights getting colder, but they are fun to watch, play with and take way too many pictures of.
