JOO-LAY from Leh

Well... Joolay, namaste, hello , its been quite an amazing few weeks...

very sorry i gave no news...
For one.....the connection was slow, double the price, and usually non existent....
and two, well i had no money.... since i stayed in Leh, for a bit longer and did much more expensive things... and the atm didnt work.... well thank god a good friend lended me some cash.... so maybe i shpuldve taken some travelers checks.... humm... live and learn!!

So, last time i was about too do the journey from hell part deux... wellit was, could you imagine it took about 24 hours to do around 450 KM.... so all of you that say that our roads are shitty in quebec...well you havent seen much!!!

So after this 2 days, full altitude sickness day, i got there the day that his holyness the dalai lama got there, some woke up to go greet him at the airport, but i was pretty much undisposed!!! I guess that is my great mistake of this trip... if i had stayed a week more, i could have maybe heard Him speak... but had to move on.... been here a month, and only saw a few places....

so anyways leh.... well its amazing, it sits at 3500m in the indian himalayas,. has 3 of the world highest passes (did all three!!), the higghest being 5602m!, and is very relaxed, beautifull in the middle of the desert.... hum

So here goes a big hello to Federico,Edgar and Yohay, these pretty amazing, superb guys (Ha! blushing!!!).... nop seriously, we had a pretty amazing time in leh... since two of these guys only had a two week vacation (no guadalajara for them... imagine that, 2 or 3 weeks and coming and the way to leh.... chapeau guys!)... we did it all... we did rafting on my birthday ( thank you all for the great wishes!!!), rented motorcycles for three days, went on a 2 days trip to an amazing lake (pagong lake) and well ate like kings ... so i am pretty exausted , needless to say.... and it feels pretty different now that taht im back travelling...

So next stop, dharamsala, after only a 10 hour drive... god i am soooo happy ...only 10 hours.... !!

so thats that, putting my shoes on....can you imagine, its 40'C in delhi... and im going south, what am i thinking!

so ciao, im having an absolutely amazing time, meeting amazing people and eating...well amazingly good...

caro
p.s. to federico y edgar.... mira, ya que usted se fueran, tenemos mucha mas plata!!!!... que me escriben sus noticias... y que no olviden!!! ciao
