Mcleod

Pet Phython

I'm in mcleod ganj at the moment . many things have been happening here.mainly walking up and down . Up in the mountains that is the case , so everyday always involves a steep climb where I meet the local farming animals .

Local animal farm

and I have been lying in my room looking out at the kites and crows clashing and high flying .

Looking out my room

also hanging out in Bagsu a little, just up the road from where I live .

Not to forget the chai at the chai shop .

Last night I went to the toilet and look what I found . I call him Frankie my pet Scorpion , extremely dangerous when as small as this . I did not kill him but left him there and came back later to find him elsewhere .....he has gone now .

Frankie!

I have a few monk friends here who speak to me in some Hindi and practice their English. And I am teaching English to a Ladakhi boy which can be challenging at times , but fun .Below is Jimmy the guard dog , always following me to play.

Jimmy!

I've only managed to get one pic on the local street scene on Jogiwara road , I took this one as I was having breakfast , the old man is chanting away while the younger son is checking up on something .

Cheers !
