Pragpur



I’ll continue with catching you all up on my adventures! After 72 hours in Delhi, we began our journey up to Sarah College (Dharamsala) where the program takes place. However, the drive from Delhi to Dharamsala is about a 12 hour drive so in order to break it up we stopped in Pragpur for the night. We didn’t just “stop” in Pragpur, we stayed in probably one of the nicest hotels in India. There was about 30 minutes of HOT water that came from the geyser (note the theme: hot water = luxury). Pragpur is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL place. The community in Pragpur is a small farming community that left for Delhi but left their houses to eventually have their families return to. Unfortunately most of the families did not return so a lot of very beautiful homes went to ruins. Another unfortunate thing is Pragpur is where whatever sickness I got started… So I didn’t get many pictures because I could not venture too far from my room but some of my favorites are below! Enjoy!



This is the BEAUTIFUL hotel we stayed in! They even put hot water sacks in our bed to warm them up! And there were fireplaces in each room AND best of all… WIFI!!! (However, hulu does not stream in foreign countries AND greek wouldn’t download from the web… DIRT)


Just a snap of the beautiful hand carved door frames on some of the houses. I have about 50 pictures of the beautiful architecture so email me if you want more!


This is me in front of a random reflecting pool! Clearly it was cold. (Notice the jacket Auntie Colleen, Katie, Patrick and Logan! Its PERFECT!)
