TREK
Hi everyone!!
Well, we're back in Leh. It's so odd to no longer be in the middle of nowhere. When the cars picked us up yesterday, it was shocking to realize that we'd been in places that are only accessible by foot (or pony) for the past week. Trek was tons of fun, but it was physically hard. Most of our days were 8 hours long, and the second pass was at 17,300 ft. But looking back, it was so incredibly worth it. We all got so much closer, and it's an awesome feeling to know how hard you pushed yourself physically. Today, we went to lunch at a restaurant on the third story. Someone said that last time we went there, a week or two before trek, they were winded walking up the stairs...and now we're all so strong!! We also did laundry today...I washed my treking clothing at least four times and the water was still turning murky! But I think (hope) they're clean now! In a couple of days, we go Delhi and then the retreat is soon. I'm nervous, but also very very excited.
I'll write more soon!
Love,
Kate
