Shimla pics

here are some pics from shimla, it is a hill station in the foothills of the himalayas. really beautiful and clean place. the two of the monkeys were taken at the monkey temple dedicated to the god hanuman. again here is another link.

sorry if i'm overloading you with wikipedia sites. i just figured some of you might want to read a bit more about all of these places.

also, the man with the monkey on his head was not pleased to have the rather over weight primate there and neither was his wife. the monkeys at this temple were extremely aggresive and went after anyone wearing a hat or glasses. the local docs even keep rabies shots ready for all the folks that get bite there. thankfully kalindi and i were able to throw them food and they stopped charging at us. :)
