We travelled to the Himalayan mountain town of Mussourie (about 2 hours away) with my family for a two day getaway this week. We felt so pampered as we stayed at a nice hotel with hot showers, good food, cozy beds, and no lizards or insects in our room. 
We enjoyed hiking and even saw some monkeys scampering and playing in the trees. 
We also ate “pan cakes” at a café for breakfast and shopped for souvenirs in the market. 
The Hindus were celebrating the festival of "Holi" where they sprinkle colorful powder on anyone passing by. We accidently got in on the mix by being outside that day. Anyone is fair game, so they even put powders on us. 
We even visited my dad's cousin and his family who live in Mussourie. They have a little boy about Clay's age and they connected immediately. It was such a great weekend for Clay, who has had the hardest time here. He ate well, wasn't sick, and made a friend who speaks English as his first language! God is good.
