I don’t think I’ll be able to get this to update, but I figure what the hell. I’ll give it a try anyway.

We left the home stay this morning and walked for about 3 hours. Despite still not seeing the major mountain range, the views are still amazing. I really enjoyed the trek today.

We made it to Dhampus around 1 pm. I sat, ordered some tea and listened to a great On Being podcast. It was about yoga, but it was really about so much more than that. I really want to investigate yoga more. I think it could be good for me to do a week (or several) practicing yoga in India before heading back to the states. I also feel like going on another trek before leaving Nepal. I could do a shorter one – like 4 days, or a longer one. I really like this trek and it would be amazing to do like a 10 day trek. I’ll see how it feel about it when this is done. I would also need to think about whether I can afford to pay Sushil for being my guide on a longer trek. It would definitely save on the cost if I tried to do it alone, but I like him and it’s nice to trek with him. I imagine that the other treks will have many more tourists on them so it should be easier for me to meet people. That way I would be trekking alone, either.

If I do another one I’m probably going to bring my computer as well as pens and drawing paper. Each day we trek in the morning while the rest of the day is spent just hanging out. It’s been nice because it’s really relaxed, but I wish I could be drawing. Today I listened to the podcast while staring at the beautiful view. I then meditated and practiced Reiki. Afterwards, I read a book and drank tea. Then I watched 1.5 movies on tv.

I’m tired now and looking forward to bed. I didn’t sleep super well last night because I kept on waking up and then being awake for a while before I could fall back asleep. Tomorrow we are going to get up early to watch the sunrise. I really hope it’s clear and that I can finally glimpse the big mountain range that has been hiding behind clouds since I got to Pokhara.
