Peggy's arrival





Well, there appears to be a Taiwanese avenue in Gokulum now. On Peggy's block there are 6 Taiwanese women all living and breathing some 30 meters from each other. She seems to be adjusting well now and I just thought I would show you a few snaps. The first photo is of our friends Elise and her boyfriend. She does the Living Mysore Magazine that you can find online. We're in a fabric shop close to the shala. The second photo is from Vivien's. She's Taiwanese and runs a little restaurant across from the shala that makes the good Tibetan bread. That's her daughter Rainbow with Peggy. I'm wearing a hat that Annie gave to Saz. The other two photos are a pair of musical events around town. The first is a special puja to Guruji from the most important drummer from Tamil Nadu. The family was very honoured by his presence. They were stunned actually. I think he's quite famous. The other photo is a kirtan run by my friend Mike from California. He's a sweet guy and we got a little outside of ourselves there for a while. Or inside maybe.
