Life on the trail took us past spectacular views, spiritual settings, children waiting for school to start, sherpas carrying heavy loads, glacier rivers providing fresh water, locals traveling up and down the steep paths, trekkers stopping for tea or lunch and endless yak and pony trains. Namestes are exchanged, minds ponder each others reason for such travel and people move on under the mountain gods careful watch.
It was really lovely meeting you! It would be lovely to see that picture (especially as we have so few of the two of us together!). The video is amazing - how wonderful that we can relive it like that. It will be great to keep reading through your blog.
I am a hiker, a rafter, a reader, a racquetball player, a teacher, and most importantly, a member of the Jeffrey/Thompson family. I'm fortunate enough to live on the Columbia River, teach at Portland Community College, and travel to far away places. Although I am from Texas, and love the Texas people, the beauty of the Northwest captivated me from the moment I arrived in Oregon. I have always been passionate about the wilderness and the secrets it quietly releases. As a result, I have hauled my friends and family from one adventure to another. In addition, a couple of years ago, I rafted the Colorado River and experienced the marvels of the Grand Canyon. There, I watched the sunrise unfold in ripples on the canyon walls before it slowly decended and danced on the waters edge a vertical mile from the top of the canyon. Now I have an opportunity to see a sunrise touch the high peaks of the world - the Himalayas. Thanks to all of you who have encouraged me to make that journey, and welcome to my blog.
