So my dear, dear friend Anthony was visiting me during his forced holiday (don't you just hate people who earned so much leave that they are forced to take a vacation or loose the time) and we decided to take a weekend trip to Srinagar, Kashmir (I had won a free ticket on Go Air, and we've both been wanting to go).
Kashmir, turned out to be more beautiful than we expected. The scenic beauty of the mountain range which surrounds the Kashmir valley cannot be done justice with mere words. Alas, I do not have any pictures because Anthony refused to give me copies, much like the pictures from Spain that he took that I am eagerly awaiting.
Our getaway also took us to Gulmarg, the epicenter of India's skying industry (who the fuck new India had a skying industry!?).
Between the warm and beautiful people, the meat-heavy food (there was this one meatball dish, which is 1-part meat to 2-parts fat, boiled, fried in butter, and then covered in a cream sauce - you can actually hear your arteries clogging) a wonderful time was spent.
All I can say at this point, is that I HIGHLY recommend a jaunt to extreme north of India. Maybe someday, when Anthony deems it worthy to share the pictures I can write more.

You are SUCH a drama queen! I offered the pictures but you said you didn't want them! I have pics on my blog ;-)
OK, I will send them to you if that shuts you up!
Sounds like you had a great time! :) Next is Capetown this month?
I wanna go! It LOOKED great on Anthony's blog but SOUNDS better here.
Did you get a Sweater? Was the wool cheaper? Did you find some little old lady who made cashmere everything and sold it for pennies of its value....
That would be fun.
I am still very jealous... I was trying to figure out a way to visit you at the end of the summer.... where are you going to be a the end of the summer...
