I'm writing with Annie watching over my shoulder from a remote town in Lower Mustang Province, Nepal called Marpha. This is the closest this country gets to Tibet outside of forbidden Upper Mustang territory). It's full of Tibetans and their cultures. Very interesting how that land has bled into this country...more like it's interesting how country borders were drawn without regards to cultures and the people
who inhabited the lands. OK, more later, but wanted to let you all know that we're really enjoying ourselves, we've crossed Throng La..the 5400 meter (over 17.5K foot) pass and we're on our way down...oh, until we go back up again to the Annapurna anctuary - should be a blast. Ten more days until we're back in contact.... hope all is well with you. We think about everyone very often, post again soon.
