I’m so grateful to be in Dhampus. Tomorrow I’m just going to hang out and be super lazy all day. I plan to drink tea and stare at the beautiful mountains. Our German friends are also staying here and planning to leave sometime in the afternoon so we’ll hopefully play some games or something during the day.

We started trekking this morning at 7:30 am and didn’t get to Dhampus until 5:30 pm. We stopped for lunch and rested quite a bit along the way, but it was a really long day walking through the mountains and I’m so tired right now. I spent the evening sitting by a warm fire, eating food and chatting with the Germans. It felt really good – especially knowing that tomorrow I’ll get to sleep in and I won’t have to walk anywhere. Trekking has been amazing and I’m so glad I decided to do this. What a wonderful gift to myself.

I spent a lot of the time during the trek thinking about going back to Thailand. I’m so weak. I really, really want to do it. Going is contingent on a lot of things, but it’s very possible it could work out. When I have access to the internet again I’m going to do some more research and see how much it would cost for the flights. I also need to give Scott a call and see if he minds if I crash at his place. A couple weeks in Thailand before going home would be just amazing. I hope it works out, but if it doesn’t I’ll be ok with that, too. I’m excited to get home and see family and friends. I’d maybe be better off doing that anyway.
