I had
somewhat of a restless night (another symptom of high altitude…). We go to
sleep here around 8pm and we don’t get up until 7 or 8am – our bedtime is
dictated by the temperature around us. Besides that I have trouble sleeping in
these elevations, who could sleep THAT LONG?
Today
we hiked to where the glaciers join together in the ice river – a LONG gradual
walk (no backpack………..what a treat!!). Funny: I got easier out of breath on the
little ups and downs then on the steep climb yesterday.
The wind
bothered me, but now I am sitting sheltered in the dining room in the sun
writing…..
Tomorrow
we’ll be heading back – can’t wait to be in warmer climate – can’t wait to wash
myself again.
Later
the same day: It blows my mind to realize and truly think about where I am right now……………..Ama
Dali fired up the stove with the dried yak shit, (it doesn’t smell!!) brought
me hot chocolate, a ginger tea and vegetable fried noodles while I write and
enjoy the view here, up in heaven.
