We are in a valley north of Mt Annapurna, the 7th highest mtn in the world, halfway thru our trek. we did not write last week because we had to postpone our trip to chitwan park. this was due to a protest by the local inhabitants about a govt caste designation policy. hopefully we can go there after our trek. we have been trekking up a valley for the past week and a half. we have gone over 100 km and 1800 m vertical. we have to ascend another 2000m over the next 3 days!! to get over the big pass, which is 17,500 ft. we are at Manang, which is the last big town before the pass. we have been spending 2 days here to acclimatize to the high altitude, but we are feeling fine so far because we have been taking out time getting up here. the scenery here is fantastic with all of the huge mountains, which are about 22,000 ft tall !!. we will try to post some photos after the pass.
Hope everyone is well.

Hi Bridget and Pat,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to read about your travels and oh so jealous. Bridget, I think you'd be a great Waldorf teacher. If you decide to go into teaching, be sure to check out the Waldorf teacher training. There's schools in 45 countries. We'll be looking forward to hearing more of your stories and viewing your photos when you return.
Happy Hiking,
alison and the gang
