Another Morning Walk

On Friday morning, Paul, Modesto, Richard and I took a morning walk to the paragliding landing spot just down the road from the Deer Park Institute.  Bir has a worldwide reputation as a place for paragliding because of its tall mountain peaks and favorable winds.  We started our walk at about 6 am and came to the landing zone at about 6:30 am.  We went a bit further and were joined by one of the program’s monks who was out for a morning jog.  This particular monk had lived in Bir for several years and was familiar with the area.  He encouraged us to hike a bit further and joined us as our guide. 
We were rewarded for following him with a fantastic view of the valleys looking to the west.  We returned to the Deer Park Institute at 7:20 am just in time for breakfast.
