The start of the Annapurna Base Camp Trail
A treasure along the way

Riding along side the Himalayas
"Get 70 miles to the gallon on this hog"
After over two months in the dusty city of Kathmandu it was time to get some fresh air. Hanging out on Phewa Lake with our friends and hiking around in the Himalayas was like a dream. At the end of our hike to Dhampus, we ended up at a family's home in the village. The women, the only ones around, invited us to hang out in their backyard and enjoy their stunning view of the Himalayas. We drank tea, played with their children, and basked in the sun. They spoke no English and just laughed and stared at us with amusement. It was just a random schack on the trail- an old man showed us the way after we asked him where to get tea. The hospitality of this family is the true spirit of Nepal and renewed my faith in the general goodness of people. Erin and I also rented a scooter from 1970 and took it off road, discovering sights that represent the real Nepal. Now I know what all the fuss is about and my batteries are definitely recharged and ready to tackle the challenges of starting this business!

Looks like a great little break from the city! I love the scooter picture. I like how the man and the boy in the window are just staring at the two of you! Must be the norm for you guys in Nepal!
