Holy smokes ! This morning I got my head so far up my rear end trying to find a trail head in the dark without a map. I mean I had a picture of the map on my cellphone

and belatedly realized that I was going up the wrong gorge. Watching the sun come up I sat and kept turning around to see which peaks were getting light first.

| I thought I could get sponsored by my shoe company if I took a good picture |
I can see why sunrise is the best time for pictures and i didn't realize when the moment happened but I did realize when it was gone. Tried tea and breakfast at a new hotel but there wasn't enough sunlight (implied warmth) even though the views were better than our hotels.

| Neat lake nearby |
Hiked with Zac and elbi to the lobal Glacier Gangapuna, bushwhacking most of the way. We ended up finding a yak herder's hut used in the summertime. then we saw our first glimpse of wildife as a heard of mountain goats passed by.

| Goatherder Yurt ! |
Played a gambling game(Person A rolls the dice and Person B offers something up if they make the roll) I won $400 rupees of yak cheese and snacks from Zac. and ended up paying out movie tickets for everyone to the local projecter hall to see 7 Years in Tibet. Not only was there a fireplace in the projector hall but they served apple tea and popcorn halfway through, score!
