last days in Mcleodganj

Ancient eroded designs in the Rock Temple and the dark passageway into the temple. This was the day we also visited the Norblingka  Center for Tibetan Art and the quiet Buddhist temple there.

Inside Norblingka, where people were gathered, sitting on the floor, singing.

the afternoon soccer game. Anyone can play, sometimes the dogs play goallie, they are pretty good, sometimes they help chase the ball, which regularly heads off the court down the hill into the stinging nettle. Sometimes the monks play, once two very small French boys played, they were the best on the team.

The scorpion, one of many arachnids found in the rooms.
