Wintry Mussourie

Last night it snowed in Mussourie! My bus trip up from the Dehra Dun train station saw me as excited as a little boy once a lovely sociologist I met on the bus told me about last night's snowfall. We arrived to find cars and roofs covered in 4 inches of snow! Snow this late in Winter is a freak of nature - it's been getting warmer for the last month here in Mussourie. I am very happy that it snowed on the exact day that I arrived here! It's a really beautiful town, with ornate iron lamp-posts and mossy trees everywhere, the most beautiful town I have seen in India yet. Snowfights abound, although thus far I have managed to dodge all the snowballs thrown my way. This place has some great looking restaurants and I even found locally made peanut butter! Gulab Jamun and chai are the perfect remedies to the cold, they make you feel warm and lovely!
