Upon arrival in the Himalayan mountain town of Darjeeling, I promptly fell ill with a nasty stomach bug. Though the unexpected sickness has caused us to stay four days more than we planned, it has also given us a taste of this dilapidated hill station that was once a popular escape for the British.
On my daily rehabilitative walks enforced by my doting nurse Steve, I was entranced by this city clinging to the hillside. Dirt strewn alleys, stray dogs, mist covered tea plantations and a hodgepodge of religions and cultures make for a fascinating locale. To read more about Darjeeling, check out Steve’s latest blog post which paints a vibrant picture of the city and it’s inhabitants.
I’m going back to bed to recuperate, but I promise to dive back into the blog next week when I am fully recovered. For now, I’ll leave you with these shots of the city.

Hope you get to feeling better soon, Leslie. I had the same problem the last time we were in India. All the best, Terri
Thanks Terri! I’m finally on the recovery. We’re off to Varanasi today! Talk to you soon! Best, Leslie
