november 12th

OMG 15 more days until my b day!!! i can't wait i asked Isabelle if i could have money or permission to get a dog when we come home!
We're leaving to go paraglyding in ten minutes .I'm bringing my journal with me! We're in the taxi at about 2400 km up the Himalayas. We just took a small walk to the temple witch was nice. Now we're sitting in the shack up top the Himalayas looking at the other people flying having Indian snacks and seeing who wants to fly and who dose not.
Guillaume and Emi are chicken they don't want to fly and they say that when I'm about to depart ill chicken out to. I don't know if they'll change their minds but we'll see.the boys did change their mind after all because i found it great and i had a smile the whole time i was up there.there both dying to go! now that guilloaumes up there he looks much more tense and scared then i did.Guillaumes first attemp to lift off failed but the second they got up.my fly was great we did figure 8 loops and went closer and closer to the clouds that we could see the bigger Himalayas.the view was beautiful and the people were like ants . i swear that one day ill bring a friend i dont care when but i cant wait to do it again.guillame just landed and emilliens getting ready to go we walked down the himalayas for about 2 - 3 hours until we got down where some very nice poeple drove us to the tibetan colony. we went to a restaurant. were still waiting for our food and its been a while , oh here it is .i ordered a spring roll and an omelette and im still hungry.I hope the others have too much food so i can feast on the leftovers!
Still in india! Tomorrow paraglyding i cant wait! This morning for breakfast we had porridge and fruits ,it was delicious.later i finished the 8th buddah book and after lunch i worked on innovations witch was so wild and fun. We worked on water, wind, fire, earth and buddah witch was nice because there was a sand garden where people would come up and do different desings.Emillien and guillame caught a lizard and took lots of pictures and they wouldn't leave our room until super time .Oh and i forgot to say yesterday we did go to the beauty salon and got eyebrow threading and facials!that nighyt there was a show almost like a talent show:first the poetry group came up and even though i wasnt part of the group they let me read my hiku witch goes like this
Lost in nowhere
This must be it
Clear emptiness
after the poems every one who took part in innovations got to stand up and say what they felt about what they did and saw others do. Next there was a comedian almost like a clown but much better (and for sav it wouldn't have been scary) he spoke in a high pitch voice and juggled and played pranks on people. it would be more funny if you were actually there. after 3 indians and tibetans came up to sing and two of them were asked to go twice!next tashi told his speech about dharma and after the ceremony was over and i went upstairs to my room to wright in my journal. here i am!
