Kalimpong

Baby chicks on the side of the road
Dogs Dogs everywhere.... did you know their are more stray dogs roaming the roads than their are cows or any other animal!
Look closely and you will see... YES...thats a cat on our bed!! She's eating porridge off of our room service tray. We adopted a kitty while at our hotel... it kept following us. It kept Tina company while she was sick in bed.
This is one of the temples, there are sooo many everywhere. Kalimpong is up the in mountains. Its a very quiet peaceful town. It was so misty and foggy there that unfortunately we couldn't see how beautiful it was in the distance.
While in Kalimpong we spent time with some of Julia's clients (she works for IRC resettleng refugees in America) families. We brought them gifts from their family members in the US.... they recieved us very kindly (I find foreign hospitality to be unlike anything in America!!) and cooked us dinner, served us tea and desserts. Indu- the girl in pink all the way to the right picked us up when we arrived in Kalimpong and showed us all around town. She's adorable and lovely.
