We are here and the air is wonderful. I think I was born for high altitudes! There's no way to describe in the minute I have how wonderful everything is. Honna and I found a wonderful organization, LEHO, which has accepted our offer of help to make a brochure in English. We will be visiting the outer villages to see the efforts to help provide the people with greenhouses to grow vegetables in winter, also to empower the women to make an income through handicrafts. The Hotel Dragon is the most wonderful hotel in the world.
The people we have met are so kind, so smart, so energetic, so self-sufficient, so gentle, so beautiful. I want to come back every year! And Honna and I want to do everything we can to help the organizations by raising awareness (and funding) in the USA. I can't begin to express how wonderful it is. No problems whatsoever. They are welcoming tourists, everyone should come to see the mountains, the poplars, to breathe the beautiful air, to see the beautiful architecture and the beautiful faces. We can all learn so much from these people. They are so far ahead of us in so many ways!
In the coming days we will take one daytrip and an overnight trip to the outlying villages to see the means of livelihood and support through the cold winters. A man from Leho NGO offered to go with us to translate as we ask questions, so we can help with the publications when we get back to the States. We will also visit some of the monasteries. Now we're off to buy notebooks for the journeys. No words could express how blissfully happy I am or how wonderful it is to be doing this with Honna, or how beautiful it is here at the top of the world!
