bus ride: drain damage

so, this is to illustrate how bumpy it was... just imagine you are on an old roller coaster that is broken for 20 hours, and you are trying to sleep... i can't even do sudokus any more, b/c i hit my head too many times!!!
but... it was really beautiful!!! this was at like 6 am where we stopped for breakfast of yummy spicey chai and parantha, fried bread!
this is sometime in the afternoon, that is the river in the valley and the road we drove up. (it is basically a one lane dirt road that has massive rocks in it and huge pot holes!!

this is close to the end of our journey, after leaving the "highest truck stop in the world" it was crazy, just driving thru the valley, much better that on the side of a mountain! our driver drove straight through too! he smoked about 10000 cigarettes! but we made it to leh nice and safe. more updates to come, sorry its been so long, the himalayas dont get wifi!!! we are now in orcha. we love you all and miss you very much.

Cam, i hope your b-day was great!
mom, i hope you b-day/anniversary/trip is going well
polly, happy b-day in a week!!!

peace and love

so did the bumpy ride cause you to call brain damage "drain damage" or was that a coincedence?
