We were on our way from the main market in Leh yesterday when we were assaulted by clowns! Not the typical Indian experience and you may not believe it but there is a photo. Of course they were French and very festive so we were dragged into the group and my camera was taken from me and into the photo we went! A real day lifter and unusual.
We also purchased a fresh Apricot pie that was so full of apricots it was about 3" thick. Yumm! We ate about half of it mid afternoon, but a big rat got into it about 2 this morning. Susan doesn't! Know that yet. So I should have gnawed a hole in the little box to make the story believable.
Last night after dinner we were listening to a German couple and two Russian young ladies trying to learn Ladakhis language and discussing it all in broken English! They had several language books and all. We were too lazy to spend much time other than good morning, thank you etc. English is widely spoken. We are spoiled. So far no USA citizens around that we have met but some very nice outdoor oriented people planning treks and adventures. A lot of energy around us.
Many flowers and vegetables in the gardens here at the guest house .. Nice to see much of our dinner being picked a couple of hours before being cooked. Good vegetarian food since the owners are Buddhist.
Today we climb to the Monastery up on the rocky ridge above town and then down to town and to the post office. The post office is another kind of experience. Will tell you about it later.
