October 23rd Nate finally joined me for yoga and we both actually signed up for 10 more classes together! Afterwards we felt very refreshed, though Nate was feeling a bit more sore than I was. My other comment from the day was on all of the fuzzy baby cows and monkeys running around the streets and how I want to take them all home with me and start a farm. They really are cute though, they eat our banana peels.October 24th Today we went back to our frequented caf...

October 18th Now, time for some celebration! The fireworks were going crazy and more of an up-close-and-personal 4th of July. Sitting on the second floor and looking over the balcony, the fireworks (of the biggest size there are) are going off from the floor below and then exploding /right/ in front of my face!

Before that though, we had banana "pancakes" - kind of a cross between an actual pancake and a crepe - ery delicious.We ...

October 9th Today we got back in jeeps and ventured back to Ranikhet where this whole adventure first began. We bought a huge bag full of guavas from kids running down the side of the road and we stopped in Bageshwar again to eat at King Kong which was very tasty - Paneer Tikki Masala! On the last leg on our ride, we spotted a band of 30 monkeys just chillin' in the trees and we arrived at our destination just after dark for dinner and an overview of the next da...
