Path from House to School


A picture walk from our house, called Sunnywood, up the hill to the school.
First, at the entrance to our property -- it has a small fence around most of it, with a 30-foot cliff on one side, evidently hacked out of the mountain to make room for the house.
The metal sign is a bit rusty -- I painted over the black letters; and plan to (some day) repaint the white background as well!


Barb's hiking up the 50+ steps to "New Road" -- the red roof in the background is our house.



When we turn to look up the hill, from New Road, we can see part of the main school building way up there.



Starting up the many more steps , from New Road up to Tehri Road, past the house called Doshisha (that means 2 Mirrors in Hindi, evidently so called because it is a duplex. ), that is a well-known landmark to the taxi drivers.
Two other Woodstock staff families live there.

.

The last big set of steps -- we see the diesel generator at the top of the hill, just outside the back gate. That generator keeps us lit, when the municipal electric supply fails (regularly).

And then we arrive at the school through the back entrance, into the Quad.
