A group of guys from Israel took our picture here… we ended up talking to them quite a bit as the trek went on.

We were now high enough for our first signs of snow!

Seemed like a perfect picture at the time… mountains, prayer flags, prayer wheels, mules, and town of Lower Pisang

After befriending the owner, I was chatting with him in the kitchen and asked to take a picture… all wood fires at this altitude

This was the first time we saw a TV so far on the trek… we watched a bootleg version of ‘Year One’ with the owning family of the guest house.  This must have been quite a local luxury since this TV must have been carried up the mountain one way or another.
