This morning before
breakfast, I took a short walk up the hill.
There are some impressive vistas that can be seen on the walkway up to
the main part of town. I also caught a
glimpse of the third highest mountain in the world: Kangchenjunga.

On the way back from my
walk, a small boy (about 8 years old) stopped me and start talking to me. I am not sure if he was speaking Hindi or
Tibetan, but it didn’t really matter because I did not understand anything he
was saying. But he kept talking and
talking as if we were old friends. I
just nodded my head and he kept on talking.
Finally, I decided to show him the photos on my camera. He seemed to enjoy the pictures and pointed
to a few things. I asked “Photo?” and
pointed to him. He smiled and I took a
quick picture.
Further down, a little
girl (about 5 years old) was coming out of her house. When she saw me, she reached out her hand for
me to shake. I smiled and obliged with a
quick handshake. She smiled back and we
both went on our way.
