Still in the Himalayas – Days 114 to Day 128 (this post picks up on day 123 )
On the way back down we stopped at a nunnery where a
lovely Dutch woman and Tibetan Healer/Nun were living with a number of young
nuns and a few other visiting children.
They invited us on a picnic which was to be “up where that
white flag is.” When I hesitated Bernice mentioned it was an amazing place for
photos– she had me figured out.
We agreed.
The flag in question turned out to be nearly an hour of
straight up.
When we started Dad had a backpack. By the time we reached
the top it had passed on to one of the young nuns and they had instead given
him a couple of walking sticks.
As promised however, the photos were wonderful.
