And on the fourth day...




We woke up at 3:00 AM to jeep it out to the top of a hill along with upwards of 2000 rabid natives to see the sunrise over the Himalaya. I'm typically not one to gush over scenery, but this was probably as close to heaven as I'm likely to get (I have a few good deeds left in the hopper). The big mountain is Mt. Kanchengdzonga, which is enormous. From where we were, we could see Everest in the distance, which is amazing considering how far it is. We truly were blessed with the perfect weather and visibility. I'm still coming down from how gorgeous the views are on a good day near where we are staying. Check it out...

Val and I are both so pleased to be included in your email list regarding your trip. Sounds like the trip to a strange, foreign, sometimes threatening and always disorienting place is doing excatly what it's supposed to do which is of course to put you in a strange, foreign, sometimes threatening and disoriented place all the while opening up your mind in a way that chemicals couldn't come near...Believe me we envy you for your experience - so...continue to have a good time and we will continue to read about your expoits and hopefully have a long talk over lunch or dinner on us when you get back.
Keep on Rockin Matt
