walk up to CHUKUNG

We had a great day of walking up to CHUKUNG we said to good by to Nima's family and Lama Geshe daughter and son. As we wondered up the trail we had to visit all of the relatives along the way to have some hot lemon and black tea.

The good thing about this day was it was all up hill about 900 meters or close to 3000 ft which was a lot different than what we have had over the past few days. It took us about about 5 hours with all the stops we made but it was fun.

The bad thing about CHUKUNG was the accommodations. Hole in the floor for the bathroom ( which was terrible) and the rooms smelled like "vomit" It was certainly a long night and one that I couldn't wait to come to an end.

i told Jim that it was ok if we missed this stop on the way home or the next time I come with more friends.

The "Dozer" was a little faster today.

slept well due to the Tylenol PM as the smell was too bad to take the night alone.

Physically doing well
