Spectacular Views


This is a shot looking north from the top of the hill.  While I took the photo from the foothills of the Himalaya, the white capped mountains in the back are the Himalaya.  The road at the top of the hill makes a figure of 8.  Its called the Chakkar.  

Its perfect for a quick, picturesque run!






I hiked up to the hill on the far left earlier this week, about 7480 ft.  On the top, I enjoyed some dry corn flakes and chocolate candy, studied my Hindi flash cards, then went down.  I took this roadside photo on the way up to the mountain.  By the time I got up there, the clouds were thick and visibility was not great.



The boys had their first day of final exams today.  Crazy exam schedule = Friday, Dec 3 - Thursday, Dec 10th (including parts of Saturday and Sunday).  Thankfully I don't have any to take :)

Christmas is in the air on the hillside.  The Woodstock Christmas chapel service was last Sunday.  The service was composed of bible readings and Christmas songs.  The student band and orchestra, cute little kiddy choir, high school choir, and staff choirs all performed.  It reminded me of Concordia Christmas Concerts.  Merry Christmas indeed.
