Pavna Lake

Sandra came to visit - she was my student in the 1999 IPHC school and stayed in India for the next 6 years - she led the IPHC for a couple of years and then she established a Ministry for HIV+ people in Pune - this work continues to grow. She went home last year and returned for a visit - it was great to see her again. In fact part of the time during those 7 years she was also my roommate. We had many fun times.
Since she was here we decided to do some scouting in the area for a lake we had heard about. You know how it is - kind of have to have company around to get out to see places. So with my car full we took off - hoping to find it. WOW we found it - what a beautiful big lake! All the way there we passed through some amazing scenery - in fact Pamela kept saying - this is like Switzerland (she was in Switzerland during the January quarter for staffing a school - so she knew what she was talking about). We drove along the side of the Lake till we came across a lovely garden - free!! - there was a nice lawn, beach to swim and boating available. There was also an open restaurant on the site - with amazing views and lovely breezes. We really did enjoy the beauty. Sorry I didn't have a camera - but next time I go (and believe me I will - especially at those times that I really need to get to water) I will take my camera and get some pictures which I will post. It is only about 15km from my house to this garden. The water was clean and looked refreshing.
So as you can see it isn't all work and no play here - come see this amazing country!!
