Green with envy- literally

Well, Jenn and I had another typical car ride. Jenn was staring out at the beautiful scenery all wide eyed and bushy tailed, pointing out all the amazing sights to make sure I was seeing what she was. Meanwhile, I was ignoring her jubillant cries while keeping my eyes fixed on the horizon and frantically clasping my "roadside regurgitaion" bag. Either way, we're both glad to have made it safe and sound to our new exploration sight- Manali and the mountains.

It's been hard to give a good description of travel in India. Whether you're winding through hair pin sheer cliff mountain turns or attempting to pass through the mayhem of the towns, it's always an adventure. Here's a little paragraph we found from our new favorite author describing the roads and drivers in India.

"Which ever driver you have, he always seems to be the Tarzan of the traffic jungle. He knows the strict species pecking order: pedestrians are on the bottom and run out of the way of everything, bicycles make way for cycle-rickshaws which give way to autorickshaws, which stop for cars which are subservient to trucks. Buses stop for one thing and one thing only. Not customers- they jump on while the buses are still moving. The ony thing that can stop a bus is the king of the road, the lord of the jungle and the top dog. The Holy Cow."

Here's Jenn to give you a little description of where we've been and what we've done.
Howdy! Sorry, time is at a premium, but for now if you are longing for some more stories and descriptions, check them out at my blog - http://auspiciousadventuresbyjenn.blogspot.com. I promise to provide you with a much better entry when we return from our trek! 'til then....
