We are in Leh and did some walking up to about 12,000 ft. Wore us out being our first day at altitude. The flight into Leh was incredible .. First looking down at the Himalayas then weaving along between the peaks and ridges for quite a while. Guest House is really good and our contact here Angchuck has been really helpful. Tomorrow we will hike up to local monastary and then to the local Palace. Maybe we can do better by tomorrow. Peggy's bag is still missing.
We are actually north of the Himalayas at this location --- so we flew over them getting here. Views from plane were great!

Yes again the apple tree and the guest house. In later blogs the apple tree will be featured again in a more active way! Stay tuned folks!
That's it for tonight -- we're off to dinner at the Sihk's restaurant down the road.
