Merry Christmas! I hope you are all celebrating together! The fact that it is Christmas is making me homesick, but we have quite the little community here, so we managed to pull together some (somewhat different than usual) Christmas festivities.
Otherwise, this week has been pretty relaxing. Work is over for the Christmas break, and slowly all the Tibetans are leaving town to go to the Kalachakra in Bodh Gaya. But the Dalai Lama gave teachings on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, there was a Tibetan holiday mid-week (everyone put up "Christmas lights" and lit candles... it almost looked like there were all celebrating Christmas!), and we have been celebrating Christmas all weekend!

Fabric Shopping...
The cow at the top of our street who is HUGE and always in the dumpster.
Candles along our railings for a Tibetan holiday.
Outside the temple after the teachings ended.
The somewhat grungy "movie theatre" in town.
Cows hanging out at the Temple beside our Guest House.
Mountains at sunset, from my window!
Sunset on the same night, but in the other direction.
Another Christmas Party! On Christmas Eve. Pot Luck style.
Paul leading us all into some Christmas carols.
Us at the part (see my new outfit!?!)
Christmas breakfast things morning: French toast, scrambled eggs and fruit salad.
Breakfast!
