| The tea was really great, they had sandwiches, Tibetan / Indian finger foods, cake, and another Tibetan / Indian desert as well as tea. I skipped the sandwiches and tea. These buildings were very nice and apparaently dated as most buildings of the university to the Brits, though clearly the conference center had been recently renovated. We then walked out to a different gate (closer to the one we arrived at). Three went on to the Gandhi Museum and other sites (they didn't get back until 9PM, with us leaving at 4AM the next morning, yikes). |

| We were able to wave down a three wheeled motor cab and sent three people away in it, but Derek and I weren't able to get another (about six passed but they all had passengers). Finally we decided to take a bicycle rickshaw instead. Before hand we agreed upon the same rate as the motor cab, about a dollar. It was such a cool ride. The operator needed to really work to get the three of us up even a minor hill. It made me long for peddling as my legs remembered bicycling to work each morning which they hadn't done for three weeks. I wanted to offer to peddle part of the way (in quiet traffic) but didn't think I could explain. What to do? Anyway, I made a video of quiet traffic and heavier traffic. Having seen how hard he worked, I paid him about $2 and we took his picture below. |

| The rickshaw driver took us on new roads on the way back but had us on the far side of the highway. We had him stop by the pedestrian bridge and headed back into the camp another way where there was a labelled gate into the camp. This way in also took us by the Gelug shrine (as indicated by the picture of the Dalai Lama) where I took this picture. |
