Mussoorie is in the foothills to the Himalayas and has some majestic views...when it's clear. It was sunny and clear for two of our five days...
But, even when it isn't clear and sunny, it is a beautiful place to be...
Mussoorie is built on the sides of very steep hills. Here is a view down one of the main streets in Landour Bazaar...
Here's a small idea of what happens with "traffic"...imagine what happens when two vehicles meet!
Janis & Chuck with one of our young friends, just barely 2-years old.
An added bonus in our home-stay (Chuck's language helper remarked after seeing him for the first time after the home-stay, saying, "Your Hindi has improved!") was getting to see Chris, Nicole, Esther and Ayden, who are staying in Mussoorie for 5-weeks while Chris & Nicole take classes at Landour Language Institute.
And, another added delight was getting to personally meet with Ruskin Bond, author of several books, one of which is The Blue Umbrella., from which we have been allowed to borrow the name in our Blue Umbrella Art Institute.
