Hot to Cold
I was sleeping on the plane ride from Deli, and then I was poked to ask if i wanted the breakfast they were passing out (plane service in India is soo much better then in the states) and then i looked out the window. It was a sea of mountain peaks in all directions as far as I could see. They were all white and glowing with snow. it was amazing, something you'd imagine antarctica to look like. On closer examinations i could see where some small streams made a zigzagging through the ice and snow. Then slowly there was a parch from my side that had less and lass snow and i could see the rocky surfaces of the mountains.
It is such a difference here in Leh then it was in the hot sweaty Delhi. Here there is more land than development, and it is peaceful and the mountains are surrounding.
None of us are having any bad effects to adjusting to altitude. We have been sleeping extra, and drinking lots of water.
WE are about to go to a village, and then we will be trekking so i don't know how likely internet access will be.
