Last Days in India

I'm in Delhi now, getting ready to go to the airport soon - my trip is coming to a close.  Thank you for your interest and support!  I plan to continue my web presence here: scalingback.org - it'll be a site about various things but focusing on Bay Area locally produced food and solar energy.

I've spent the last week in Dharamsala, or actually a smaller town called Macleod Ganj just north of there.  There is a large Tibetan refugee community in the area, and the Dalai Lama calls Macleod Ganj home for parts of the year - it's the seat of the Tibetan government in exile.



Yes, this bull is in a graveyard, but he's not dead.

Traveling in India

A couple more pictures from Varanasi:



My next destination was Delhi - the pictures below are from the Red Fort.



I had to escape the heat so I headed into the Himalayan foothills to a city called Shimla.
