A
quiet moment at 3,000 meters, on the way to
Surkanda
Devi Temple, near Dahnaulti ... |
...
but good times are just a step away, here
on the rooftop of a dhaba on the way back
from New Tehri Dam. |
The mountains in northern India can easily
be seen
from miles around ... |
... and so can the Europeans at the Ganga
beach at Kaudiyala. |

YFU India's invaluable
host families and volunteers came together with
students and staff for this lunch in Jalandhar
to review the events of 2007 and plan ahead for
2008.

A good time was had by all! |
Happy
Holidays from YFU India! |
Christmas
stockings and presents waited by the tree, but something
was missing ... |
...
the shining lights of Christmas cheer!! |
|
OK,
you
bring the sparkly Christmas decorations .... |
...
and I'll bring the holiday pancakes! |
The
pancakes didn't last long, and neither did the
rest of the
traditional holiday meal. |
On that Christmas night, the partiers
brought sexy back to New Delhi ... |
...
and oops, they did it again! |
Finally, a midnight visit to the cathedral, seeking
last minute redemption. |
| |
Some
church-goers sported festive X-mas dress at midnight
mass. Happy holidays! |
