Shimla शिमला

We visited Shimla for Ghandi's birthday in 2006. Shimla is a small hill-station in the Himalayas, which is pretty cool. But it's absolutely CRAZY, so during the drive up to Shimla you go on a windy rode, that's about 12 feet (4 meters) wide, and then its a complete dro poff and the road is falling away. Craapy? yes. Our driver is driving was fast as our car will allow him. You can be assured, I did not look out the windows. Well, actually I did, and I saw rocks fall away from the rode over the edge... Yeah, I didn't look again. anyways, after awhile I fell asleep, which was nice. But all to soon our driver said, very loudly, 'THIS IS MY COUNTRY!' and beat his chest. Waking Me, Maddie (my lovely older sister), and Ashley (our lovely friend from Utah). Soon enough we were whizzing through the city where people were running through the roads and dodging cars. There were dogs in dumpsters, yes, In the dumpster. No jokes. After about an hour, and many phone calls later (my dad was calling to tell the driver to slow down.every.two.minutes.) we arrived at our hotel. the hotel was pretty big and pretty. It also had a really cool pool, the wall's had these big windows on them, and if you looked out the side of the window, you come to find that the pool, is sticking out over the ledge. with nothing under it. Yeah, creepy. Anyways, in Shimla I meet up with my friend Isabelle (from Washington State) and her fan-damily (our family's are still good friends, and we are going on vacation soon together!). Isabelle, Emmet (her little brother), Robbie (my little brother), and I started to play tag and run around like that crazy kids we are. Then the elevator accidentally came to the basement, I swear on my life and yours when the doors opened fog came rolling out from all the doors, a creepy orchestra started playing, and lightning struck (but hey, I do have a vivid imagination).
For the rest of the vacation we went on a beautiful horse riding trail with really pretty horses (:, and we wen't up to Englands 'summer ruling palace' which was STUNNING (the british thought it was too hot in Delhi to be there in the summer, so in the summer they went into the mountains). We also went to an outside Mall/market. Which was pretty fun, up till the point where a monkey urinated on me and then laughed. I was pretty grossed out, I still am. I hate monkeys.alot.
