Before Christmas a group of us went on many day hikes around our neck of the woods...to further explore the hills! This shot is taken on the way to Sulfur Springs with prayer flags as the backdrop.

Lovely ladies in our Christmas saris for the staff banquet (Me, Nicole, Kate). At this event, I braved a unique opportunity to play my tuba in a sari for a little "tuba Christmas" fun!!

The snow-capped Himalyas were a breath-taking scene on crisp evenings.

All you need is a sack of potatoes, one ring-leader, and a rotating group of rollers...this is lefse making India style!! (Steve, Nan, Me).

Many hooligans that were still wandering the hills came to Nan and my place for a bit of Christmas cheer :) Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house all the creatures were stirring...
