Welcome

Jullay to everyone! The lead photo to this blog is a shot of the main building at SECMOL's campus in the village of Phey, 18km outside of Ladakh's capital city of Leh, just after an early-morning snow flurry. From time to time, members of the Vermont Intercultural Semesters Spring 2010 Ladakh program (or "VISpas" as we are known by our friends at SECMOL) will post reflections and photos. This will usually be done from internet 'cafes' in Leh during our weekly trips into town. Timestamps below blogs will be posted in India Standard Time. (We're 10.5 hours ahead of E.S.T., 9.5 ahead during daylight savings time.) Please feel free to post comments, and check back often!
