getting friedly with the locals


well friends, here are the news: as a result of some stomach problams i went to a tibetian doctor called Karma, who gave me some very intresting things to eat without hesitation. armed with these newfound magic beans i went on a three day trek with a group of 8 people, a nepalese guide and cook and more then a few ponies (bells included). on the first day i saw some mountains which looked like those office gifts with sand and oil that make little mountains when you flip them around. we also saw some yak (see picture- adva this is for you). on the second day we went through a valley i could swear was shangri la, where there was a remote village surrounded by golden barley and many other colours of things my food usually eats. we spent the night high in a tent, acompanied by planetarium skies (imagine, a desert+remote+very high+very dry). on the third day we went up the mountain pass, which is not easy to do with virtually no oxygen, but the ponies did it so we had to also. the pass was breath taking (literally) surrounded by wet sand castles (only bigger). several times on the trek i found myself naturally walking way ahead of everyone else, and goor, i missed you there. we have to do a real trip sometime, gali in the trunk and all. i am now back in leh, tomorrow there is a big festival starting here, and i might also get to see the dali lama speak (more impressive then a michael jackson concert). what next, i dont know. i miss agadir. noam.

Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!

I have a home business opportunity site. It pretty much covers home business opportunity related stuff.

Come and check it out if you get time :-)

the good news is that Gali already has a very short list of Musts, to have in the trunk. it's all still doable, so if we hurry - it's a done deal! mean time, you scout the globe for the best paths.
