A good start well before sunrise

Sunrise coming

Firewood stored on the roof

Another day where the first half was all downhill. Some gradual like this and some very steep.

Note the foot trail going up this hill

A beautiful valley looking north toward Mustang

Looking down to Eklobhatti  and the Hill-ton Hotel

A Annapurna bus

Interesting rock formation

The last several hours of the walk into Jomson in or along side of the riverbed.  Almost every day by 1 or 2 pm the winds come up and this can be a dusty miserable walk.

Cows wander the streets of many towns in Nepal, even in Kathmandu

Room in Xanadu hotel in Jomson.

Time for a long hot shower in a very clean shower

Another reason we stay here two days. A real toilet in the bathroom attached to the room.

Bill is happy. It's a vodka night and here we even get ice cubes.

Cheers!

Bill and I have known this girl for over 10 years. She is now 18 and looking for a husband,

The daughter of the owner of the Xanadu. She has always been away at school before.  Very nice girl with an interest in the outdoors and adventure schools

Not as good as the view from the Thong la Hotel in Manang, but still great to watch the mountains change as parts were lit by the sun.

We had a brownout the first night but the drinks were just as good by candle light
