The Norbulingka Institute was founded in 1988 as a haven for Tibetan Arts and Culture. For those Tibetans that are born and grow up in exile, the Institute serves as a link to the land of their parents and ancestors. The Institute is also a school that preserves and develops traditional Tibetan arts: woodcarving, statue-making and embroidery.
Aside from being an Arts Institution, it is also a wonderfully beautiful place. We like it so much that we are going to stay in its guest house for a couple of nights before we forge ahead to Amritsar. It looks like a good place to reload, and to review the status of our writing projects.

You know the saying, “to fly by the seat of your pants?” Well, that's been our philosophy for most of our adult lives – before and after meeting, falling in love and marrying. We're now taking that idea on an extended round-the-world trip. Follow us as we share the good, the bad and the downright nasty of life on the road.
