Hi Mom! It was 70 degrees here today! I miss the cold! I haven't even really gotten to wear my new jacket yet. I asked Mike if he wanted me to cook something special or if he wanted to go out, he decided he wanted dinner at Micastias! Our new student did very well today. We'll see how ti goes when he comes back on Wednesday. Very quiet and very polite. The Monastery sounds like an amazing experience! I can't wait to hear about it! In 6 more days! Love you and miss you!

I can imagine 60 degrees feels so good to you . Would love to join in The chanting, drumming , etc. Becky, looks like you in the photo, love

Garret wishes he were there to visit the monastery with you and so do I. It sounds like things are a bit easier now that you are at a lower altitude. Today was almost 60 degrees which felt odd after several days of cold weather. Not much else is new here. For once I am excited for Thanksgiving, it will be great to have you back and for all of us to be together. Love you!!!! Bianca

Good to hear the progress. Seems nice weather. Stay healthy. It is nice you all got the blessings and be part of Monks chanting. Take care. Ruchi had heard from Damaroo so we received update and happy to hear they all are doing well. Here and in India (Jyoti, Gambhu) all doing well.

Rick - so awesome!!! Wish I could have joined you. Sounds like it is really hard though. Remember my little breakdown in Alaska trying to cram everything into my kayak one morning? LOL! Anyway thinking of all of you and looking forward to photos! Hugs! Jen

Happy to read today's update and cultural experiences seems like in no time y'all will be down to earth from "heaven on earth" experience. Best wishes for remaining days of trip
