On our last day we woke up a little earlier than normal, had breakfast and then got everything ready to head to the train station :) Right before we left, the mountain across from us was covered with mountain goats! It was cool! We had to rush to the train station and we thought we were going to miss our train, but we made it! During the train ride I took a few pictures out of the door (if you haven't ridden a train here before - you can totally open the doors in between cars and hang out and take pictures and whatever else you want to do!). Anyway, you get so see some fun things if you do that, so I took some pictures. I think this village looks really cool :) The lighting was pretty crazy in this picture - I thought it was really interesting. These guys wanted to cross the street but had to wait for our train to pass.... At one point we decided that it would be a good nap time. Diya was a little too excited to nap - haha! Our train stopped at the last stop before the Capital...

Day 2 of the retreat was the first full day for everyone. We started off the morning by checking out the Langurs munching on rose bushes... they loved them! Later in the day we had some team time and did a fun team photo scavenger hunt! Here is our team's flag :) We called ourselves the "Dilli Pickles" :) This was part of the scavenger hunt - someone doing a hand-stand :) Our pregnant team member did the hand stand :) haha! Go Amberley! We were in a tiger reserve area for the retreat. There were tigers all around. The day before we left to come there was a big article on the front page of the paper about a man-eating tiger on the lose.

We saw tiger paw prints REALLY close to our resort! This guard (below) had a gun to protect the horses (and people) from the tigers. They found tiger prints n...

This past week we went on a retreat up to the mountains!!! It was awesome!!!! There was all sorts of craziness leading up to this retreat, so we weren't sure what to expect, but it was awesome! It started off with a little normal craziness.... Our paperboy broke our window (again) the morning before we were going to leave. He broke a huge pane this time (the whole door!), so we had to get it repaired before we left. Luckily it worked out with no problems :) We got to our train with about 10 minutes to spare and were on our way. Luckily some fun people were on the train ride with us and they had their kids with them too! Aashini had a blast hanging out with her new friends :) Diya even took a nap :) Aashini decorated her nails with these cool gem stickers :) We got there that night and got settled into our room. The next morning we got them all bundled up - it was MUCH cooler than the Capital :) Here's Diya hanging out with her bed :) We got there the night before and w...
