was spent withTheMissing Peace project en route to meeting His Holiness
the Dalai Lama. The second part was spent in the Himalayas, trekking in
Ladakh; then a final stop in Bombay to catch up with old Bollywood
friends. Interesting things popped up along the way: Former NBA star
John Salley playing basketball with the children of the Tibetan
Children's Village. Gustavo Santaolalla playing his charango for the
Tibetan Oracle. Full circle rainbows of the sun. Curious donkeys and
Buddha's birthday celebrations....
