Last night, Vivian White, the astronomer from San Francisco, set up a telescope on the roof of
the college. The monks have been
learning about the planets, stars, galaxies and the universe, so the telescope
was a great way to see things for themselves.
I also sat in on many of Vivian’s classes here and learned quite a bit. Up on the roof last night, I
took my place in line with the monks to peer up at the sky through the
telescope.
Today, my last day in India, I got in one last morning of
basketball. The Tibetan students were
out on the court by 7:30 am and I was able to join them for several full court
games before breakfast.
Now I am waiting for a car to take me to the Kangra airport
for the first leg of the long trip back to Seattle. First stop is New Delhi where I will make my
way to the airport hotel for about 7 hours.
Then it is about 8.5 hours to Tokyo.
After a 5 hour layover in Tokyo, I will board the 10 hour flight to
Seattle.
