Spending time in Kangding, a town on the border of the area that is now the TAR but that used to be within the Kham region of Tibet (more on China and Tibet in a different post), meant visiting the town square in the evening and getting involved in the circle dancing that the local Tibetan’s did nightly … even when it was cold, and even when I was the only foreigner there!!!
The steps and the timings are so different to the European styles that I am used to that in spite of my usual assumption and life long assertion that I can dance to anything and quickly master any steps, I felt like a fool and struggled through the evening with very little grace … but still loved it. This tune was one that followed me across the grasslands at different times over the following year. It is one I still love now – the melody remains in my head and the sensation of movement remains in my body long after I have moved on! I hope you enjoy it too …. xx

Hi Rae, I think you are now riding in India, and I said that I did not like it that much, cycling in India, but I do hope you LOVE it! I am curious to how you experience India on the bicycle. I wish you all the best, and what a great place you used to live in! Beautiful! Much regards Cindy

Hi Rae, so you loved Pakistan too? So did I. That is the trouble with traveling, wanting to return when it is great. I hope you do enjoy cycling with your brother even though it is so different. How did you enter Himachal? I wish you too stunning beauty and endless views. Enjoy the world!
