Dear friends,
I have to be honest. I don't know where to start on my trip in Kashmir. All I can tell you is that the last 5 days have been exceptional. I have met so many wonderful locals and have had some of the best conversations with them as well. I am truly enjoying this accidental detour in India and I dread the day I have to go back to Delhi's heat.
I love love love Kashmir.
The people that own the houseboat I'm staying in are very nice and have taken me to villages and the mountainside to see some real life in northern india. The locals are astounded by foreign visitors and I've walked around feeling like some circus clown! I posted some hilarious pictures below.
In the meantime, here are some that I've taken with the PS over the last few days in Gulmarg, Pehelgam, Sulmarg and Aru. Again, please promise me you wont get tired of me or my trip to India when I post the nice stuff later from the 5d.
We stopped by a village to hang out with some local families. The kids like me. HAHA
You'd be proud of my quick reaction...I was walking and noticed this
I had to throw the Kashmiri horse in. ;)

Awesome photos! :)
Ruby - your images from the P&S are so good - what you need to do is get rid of that 5D... it's outdated anyways... box it up... send it to Enoch Gonzalez in Colorado Springs. ;-)
You adventures there are amazing to read about - one of the pictures looks like the women and children are following you around like a movie star... You Go!
have fun and of course... stay safe!

Hey babe, it's your hubby- You look so cute in the first pic. Looks like you're finally enjoying your trip. Funny how the pic of the Cement Store had missing and broken concrete in front of it. That's like a dentist with a missing tooth.

Hi Sweetie! Oh my- love your photos! I like the first one. You look beautiful and he's a hottie. No, seriously! He looks like a rasta man! It sounds like you are REALLY having a good time. The landscape is beautiful. Looks like Switzerland. I REALLY can't wait for your stories. I love the way the locals react to you. Very funny.
P.S. Had the photo that you took under the Eiffel touched-up and framed. It's perfect. It's hanging in the guest room........
Tom and I had dinner tonight with M. at Abuelo's. He had me in stitches. I swear I haven't laughed like that in a long time! He misses you! Funny how he and Tom noticed the cement store!
