Masala tea, I can taste it now and I am so jealous! Now if you really want to have some fun, make sure you go for a yak ride.You may have to bribe one of the guides, but definitely worth it! Sounds like you are in a beautiful camp today and had a really nice hike. Glad to hear it is still warm enough to go in the glacial stream and wash your hair. Sandy have you had Rick as your tent mate yet? (more of an adventure than riding the yaks!) Thinking of you both. . . love Lis

The trip sounds wonderful. It sounds like you are having knee problems, hope it has not interferred too much with the hiking. Guess you need a good chiropractic adjustment! You will have to share the stories with my parents when you return, who will then send them to me. God bless and safe trip back stateside.

The Baldwinsville Tournament was fantastic vball. Tanya didn't tell you that Pittsford beat Penfield in the semis. Matt lost his voice yelling. Next Saturday is the Webster tournament and Susan and Rick will be going in the afternoon, Rick will be home for his birthday. What a great trip- enjoy.

Aren't you glad you had all that practice avoiding horse stuff growing up? Please thank all involved with upgrading the daily post as the activities, food, clothing reports and views sound amazing. Isn't it wonderful just how clean a good mountain stream can make you feel? Looks like bird hunting will be extended two weeks further into December :( ILU

Hey sis! we're missing you here in Boulder. It's been hot and sunny and we've been doing beautiful hikes on the weekends. The photos of Bhutan look fantastic. Sorry you haven't made the fashion report, but we're sure your turn will come. Rumor has it there's a fire in Fraser and we think we've smelled a bit of it. We'll check out the evening news soon. Cadence just turned 9 so we had to enjoy a burger at Red Robin. Your plants are alive and well in the bathroom. A weekly hit of water an

Did John Denver ever sing a song about down booties and pants? We'll be interested to get a comparison of the impacts of 27 horses and however many yaks it takes to get equal carrying capacity...

Wow, your trip sounds amazing so far. Enjoy it, but remember to come home too - the leaves are slowly changing in Rochester and we're having gorgeous fall weather. The volleyball team won our tournament yesterday in Baldwinsville - we didn't drop a single set. It was a great day. Timo stayed with the Gilroys that day and saw a movie. We're both at Schirmer's again tonight for dinner. Oma and Opa called and send you their love. I'll translate their letter to gramie tomorrow when I go over ther

Food sounds great! Thanks for reporting that. Does it seem like it's specially prepared for you, or is it what the locals would be eating anyway?

For: Gina

Wonderful description! Thanks for the ecological reports. Glad you had a nice afternoon... and that your down pants were a hit! I'll bet it felt great to put them on! How are you getting Internet access?
