Oh Goodness

I spent four, fantastic days in Kashmir with Asif. The boys left early day three, but that was ok. We met up in Delhi yesterday.

Asif must have shown us all of the Kashmir valley. His family lives in the capital city of Srinagar, which is the biggest Muslim area. And it is a very, very Muslim area. Very, very, very. It was like going back in time nearly, except for all the promotion of recycling and conservation.

We went up into the mountains, saw snow, and froze our butts off. We saw a Hindu temple, the only one left in Kashmir outside Jammu. We spent a lot of time with his family and a lot of time just driving through the absolutly breathtaking scenery of Kashmir. I have never been to a place so beautiful. The mountains, the foot hills of the Himalayas, are stunning and so huge.

It was a really fantastic trip.

I am now in Delhi, where it is 110 in the shade. This very well may be my last post from India, unless I post tomorrow, as I am going on Friday. Which I still can't believe!

Oh Goodness.
