chandigarh: monsoon








this is around our hotel. Chandigarh was set up by a modernist name le corbusier, its all rectangles! it was a weird town, but pretty cool.





here's chris at the Nek Chand Fantasy Rock garden. its all recycled building materials and more turned into sculptures and art. it was cool!



my new outfit (the top half) at the rock garden too. this is right before it started POURING!



here's us in our cycle rickshaw, in the monsoon, our rider had to stop because it was raining so hard, he was super nice, and since it didnt ever stop he rode us home in it, )we would have walked or taken a auto, but we had already made a deal with him and we couldn't get out in the rain b/c we had the camera!!



it was seriously the hardest i have ever seen it rain, and it was flooding too. we rode home in about a foot of water, getting splashed by cars and the like, but we all had fun and we made a friend with our rider!



now we are in shimla, pics to come, it takes way too long to upload!


tomorrow we are off to Tattapani to some hot spings and aruvedic treatments!


its cold up here and foggy and rainy!
