Soul Searching

Here you go. Poon hill is the “must see” spot for people doing the Annapurna circuit. It’s pretty obvious why.

You’ve gotta get up at around 3:30am, then trek like a Banshee (well, I guess actually more like a Sherpa) to the top of this “hill.”

Now I’ve seen hills and I’ve seen “hills,” but I ain’t never seen a hill like this. I was thinking they should have a defibrillator at the top. It’s around 45 minutes straight uphill. Luckily you don’t have to bring your pack. They have the most delicious piping hot, instant hot chocolate you’ve ever had. No tiny little dehydrated marshmallows, but hey you’re in Nepal!

…that you should write a book? You should put a contract out on them! It never seems like it’s never going to end! It’s like a black hole. The more you give, the more it wants, the more dense it grows, the greater its pull. Lots of excuses for not getting around to THIS for a while. I’ll try and update it in the next few weeks.

Nepal really threw me off for a couple of reasons. There was NO internet access. It was freezing in the evening when I usually would have written (remember I had just come from Thailand - yeah, don’t give me any of that “life is tough” stuff either). And I took WAY too many photos (around 500). Going through them is truly overwhelming. And I’m not even a good photographer…

Okay, maybe I’ll sneak one post in here for good measure. I’m so bad sometimes… heeheehee…
