Sunrise and Sunset


I sat and watched sunset last night. It was beautiful and peaceful setting over the lake.

It was up at 4:30am and in the taxi by 5am to reach the summit at sunrise. The taxi dropped us off around ¾ of the way to the top. We (Rebecca, a lady from Australia, and the guide) had to climb…and climb…and climb many steps. Rebecca said that this was even easier than the trek and much shorter. I think I may be in trouble.

There were only two people ahead of us at the top and a few more came afterwards. It was really beautiful with views of the Annapurna Mountain Ranges. Sunrise was nice, but it was pretty light even before it came up. Still doesn't compare with So. Cal.

The weather is interesting. Very cold in the morning and hot around 8am. The sun is extremely bright and I definitely will have to wear a lot of sunscreen on the trek.

I decided to take a taxi to see the Tibetan Monastery outside of town. I had to negotiate for 15 minutes on a taxi price to finally get there and there is NOTHING really to see. Oh Well!

When I got back, I immediately found some coffee and rested most of the day reading a book and watching movies.

Namaste
