Altitude

We came to the Himalayas for a writing retreat, but so far walking (see: hiking up 65 degree slopes) has been my favorite part. The towns are either very "twee" (SAT vocab word) or classically reminiscent of mountain villages in Tibet or Nepal, the closest nations to where we are right now at the Mussoorie hill station. The air is thick and white, as we are high enough to be living within a cloud.
