Greetings from Thagnak

​Greetings from Thagnak, at 14,200 feet! We covered the 2,700 vertical feet in just under 4 hours, making great time.
 
3 hours into the hike we visited a monastery, built into a cave. The resident monk seated us at a small table, where we were given a history lesson about the area and the monastery- what a great experience!
 
Our tea house is cozy, but nice, and the food appears to be better than our previous lodging - I had a yak steak with fries. Speaking of yaks, we saw our first yaks and naks today. Apparently, naks are female yaks, so when I wrote about a yak milk latte a couple of days ago, the picture might not have been so appetizing!
 
Rick had a bad day and is not feeling well - we will see what his future holds. The rest of us our doing well - the key now is to drink lots of water and keep eating, which are both not easy tasks at altitude.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
