Wednesday May 16, Darjeeling

By Wednesday, Nicki and Natalie were well enough to return to teaching. Sarah, on the other hand, tried  but her attempt bended with her decorating the inside of the staff room trash can with the contents of her stomach. She retreated to North Point but managed to make it to Glenary's for dinner with the whole group.

As for the Loreto group, Jan returned to Hayden Hall, Jane did some administrative work, and Les explored Lloyd's Botanical Gardens. In the market, there are a number of Buddhist and Hindu artifacts for sale in the market. There are singing bowls, dorjes or vajras,  and bells (ghantas). There are also hand-painted thangkas which are mandalas painted on cloth.

Both groups joined for dinner at Glenary's but Sarah felt ill again and was taken back to Loreto by her dad.
