Nepal - Rachel, the Nepali hair-dresser
Nathanael Mokry
As we continued to trek higher and higher, we walked through remote villages and farm life... I even accidentally stepped in horse-crap up to my ankles... YUCK!
Sometimes, you just have to get out of the way. This is our friend Jean-Daniel marvelling at how big this guy's load is.
Our friends also brought reading glasses to give away to the older population. This woman served us tea, and afterwards received a pair of glasses. She was noticing the difference when looking at map we had.
Can you see the little town of Geyru on the left-hand side of the picture? This was Rachel and My favorite village. It was a long steep hike above Pisang.
Before we entered Chame, this little gal walked up to Jean-Daniel and started a conversation in english. "Hello! What is your name? How old are you?"
Doing a little harvesting
Leaving Manang we trekked through some very prettys scenery.
And of course, Nepal would not be complete without a game of high-altitude frisbee. Rachel brought one along and we found a few places to throw the disc around. Not many Nepali have ever seen a frisbee and were quite interested to join-in.
Our friend's porter heard that Rachel regularly cuts my hair, and so he asked her to cut his. We found some surgical scissors and started clipping.
When it was all said-and-done, Dili was quite happy with his haircut. Everyone was impressed with Rachel's skills.
