Return from the mountains


Dec. 18, 2008

I'm back in Pokhara following a 19-day trek around the Annapurna circuit. Managed to pull a muscle only as I was getting into a cab to return to civilization. Good timing!

Will have tons and tons of things to report and pretty photos to post soon. But need to decompress right now. I'm off to eat a yak steak!

Wow! What a photo. Hope you breathed in some clean air for all of us.

Don't think that the pose has gone unnoticed.

Yes, I'm blatantly copying a pose my dad pulled out in a photo of him at the edge of a precipice in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick or somewhere. But I am saluting the Thorung La pass in the background, highest pass in the world. Beat that Daddo!
