On the move again

I'm leaving Dharamsala tonight for Varanasi with a friend. I'll stay there until the 17th, then will take the train back to Delhi and go straight to the airport to fly home.

I'm all packed up and excited for Varanasi, but I'm dreading the 12hr bus ride down the mountain. I have mixed feelings about leaving Dharamsala, too. This morning I walked the Kora that circles the temple and spent about an hour sitting in the sun under the prayer flags watching the eagles. I figured it's the best way to feel a good bye, like in Catcher in the Rye.

Now it's on to Varanasi to get the shit kicked out of my senses one last time to draw my travels to a close.
