We will see cute cottages and grand homes and the oldest example of Himalayan architecture in the United States. Participants will learn about some of the noted personalities who lived on Lighthouse Hill and the history behind some of the street names. At the conclusion of the walk, please stay at the Tibetan Museum for bagels and coffee and a film screening of “Walking in Circles” a film about a group of English housewives who trek to the remote region of Zanskar in the Himalayas.
