I wanted to post pictures of the tea gardens, mountains, waterfalls, the gorgeous zoo, trees.... but you know how it is - I just ended up picking this week's favorites. I have severe ADD when it comes to my photo albums. I could get lost in them, in the memories associated....and still be at it a week later. So, without further ado, let's get on with today's show!

Sikkim Zoo - This building is at the topmost point and made of wood. Sadly - locked. No entry. I would have loved to climb to the top!
Sikkim Zoo - pretty bird - peacock pheasant.
Sikkim Zoo - pheasant
Outside the monastery - pigeon - I enjoyed watching it walk up and down the road like it owned it. It probably did.
Sikkim Zoo - rainbow pheasant (I think)
The mighty Teesta river in a fog on our way to Darjeeling
The gorgeous Bakthang Falls in Gangtok. The sound is deafening!
The view from our hotel window in Gangtok. Heaven?
The view from our hotel balcony in Darjeeling. I love the little groups of houses with the early morning sun's rays caressing them gently
She stood guard outside our Darjeeling hotel room. Must have weighed a ton. Although she does not look like she needs to worry about her weight. She's in pretty good shape eh? Solid brass. Almost as tall as me. Goddess Saraswati.- recognized by the instrument - the veena. I am named after her. Really. I was christened Vidya Saraswati
This Sunday, Unknown Mami is seeing spots. And what pretty spots. Let's go join her and all the others who are part of today's trip. Lets travel the world together!
My first stop from Unknown Mami's will be Honduras Gumbo - one of my favorite blogs.
Have a wonderful week ahead, folks!
