We walked to a section with markets and shops and we were recommended to go to the man made waterfall. I felt it would be uninteresting because it probably was just the size of a pee line. But it was only 10 minutes away and so we went and yes it turned out to be disappointing. The so called waterfall came out of a pipe line and it was just as I thought the size of a pee line.
On our way back we stopped by a crystal shop and I picked up an amethyst and it along with the rest of the crystals in the shop gave me a healing and helped to relieve pressure off my head and my left jaw.
We even looked out for Tibetan and Indian astrology, etc.. Most places require appointments but most places were closed so that even if we did come across something we would like to try we couldn't even make an appointment. Well, anyways, we didn't see anything we like.
Back in Mcloud Ganj we shopped some more. It was so cold at 4pm that we decided to stay in a restaurant to stay warm. We went into Jim's and Italian eatery. The place was decorated like Hard Rock Cafe or TGIF. The little heater they put right next to us wasn't really working. We ordered Italian food and it sucked. It wasn't very Italian, but then again it's India. It has been my experience that when the food goes bad, it is time to move onto the next destination.
Alan shared with us his story. He was engaged to be married to his fiance when he found out through text messaging that she had been having an affair with a neighbor. They were living together and both sets of parents were good friends. He was pretty shocked and decided to leave the country for 3 months. They had been together for 6 years. He just left his everything behind. His co-workers said they'll pick up the slack and cover his work so that he can have a job when he gets back. Those are some good co-workers. He didn't want to deal with any of the cancellation of the wedding or moving etc... He just left and left her to deal with it all. He wanted her to be out of their place by the time he returns. I really felt bad for Alan. I hope his heart heals from all this pain and I hope he has a great trip.
The sunset was beautiful. IT was fire red with clouds above and below the horizon. It was amazing visually.
The three of us decided to try the movie again. We were told Borat was the greatest film of the year etc... It was on the chart every night. So we thought we had entered to see Borat when what was shown on screen ended up being Children of Men. I didn't find it that great either. But the entire experience was worth bundles of laughter. I think the DVD disc was a pirated version. When the English subtitles came out it was gibberish. We all laughed like crazy through out the film. I was cold in the little cinema.
When I returned to our room, I packed for our 4am departure to Punjab to go to Amritsar. We packed in military speed. IT could be we were both tired. It could have been we were both cold. IT could have been we have been traveling and can pack fast and efficiently.
