I lied, we get pretty good use of the computer up here in tourist country. Manali is the Indian honeymoon capital and we have had our photos take so many times by couples that we feel famous. The view from our $7 a night hotel room is hard to beat. Snow capped peaks loom above and the environment reminds us so much of home. We haven't done too much as we were knocked out with another Indian bug, but we did attempt to go trekking. These Indian stomach bugs are powerful machines and sneak up on us when we start to get comfortable again.
There are several complaints that Dave and I have about India in general so far:
1) The need to hoark and spit constantly
2)The need to remove tumour sized boogers from the nose
3) The constant honking of cars (we see you, why do you honk when you are right in front of us?)

Great pic of Jen riding...the scenery is awesome. I listened to a documentary one day on the honking in India...they don't even know why they do it...it is just part of driving! Asked to try to stop they said it just wasn't natural to drive without honking!
By the time you get through all this travelling you will be tavel bug immune....or at least here's hoping!
Miss you two....love Mom Lyon
Hi Jen and Dave, Wonderful scenery...what mountains are in the background. Your mother's cousin Michael is busy climbing Mt.Everest. and we get the e-mail updates all the time. I think they are waiting for the Chinese to get a mock torch up the mountain before they are allowed to complete the British expedition. Thanks for the tea. Haven't tried it yet as Pam just brought it over.
Love Nan and Grampa
