Here We Go!

Hello everyone, and welcome to the fall '08 gap year blog for Vermont Intercultural Semesters. Here you will find photos and reflections from members of this years' crew, posted during our time in Ladakh. We are in Manali now, a beautiful town in the foothills of the Himalayas, and everyone is feeling pretty good to have had a proper night's sleep here last night. The previous night was spent on the bus during a 16-hour ride up from HOT Delhi. (At least the seats were comfortable, and the bus had AC!). Tomorrow we drive another 6-7 hours to Darcha, from which we will begin our trek through Zanskar, followed by a visit to Tashi's village before heading to Leh for a few nights, and our eventual home at Secmol. We won't have internet during the trek, but will be back online shortly thereafter. All the best from VIS, and we'll see you soon!
