Summer Part 3 - Mussoorie, Rishikesh, Delhi

After the trek, our group split ways. Marie still had one week remaining of her visit, so the two of us headed to the cool hills of Mussoorie. We were surprised by the onset of monsoon! Apparently it had been raining heavily the two weeks we were in Leh, so everything was damp and musty. We spent a few days resting and then headed to Rishikesh for the weekend. It was hot, but a nice little getaway. (Sorry no photos - I left my camera in Mussoorie!) Then a few more days in Mussoorie before heading to Delhi. We had a successful day in Delhi (lots of delicious food and a bit of sight-seeing) and went to the airport. We ran into the Endos (my Woodstock neighbors who are returning to Minnesota) and a student. I flew out first and later Marie and the Endos left. 

We spent the mornings in Mussoorie learning Indian cooking from Saroj.
 
Aloo Parathas!
