Go west (Sikkim) young man

We're back in west sikkim, about to visit Kecheopari Lake, Yuksom, and Tashiding Monastery. It should take about 3 days. Internet might be hard to come by. The good news is that the lake is supposed to be a really nice place to kick back and relax.

We went with the Germans to see the Himalayan zoo and its red pandas. I'll put up some pictures, including a photo with all of us and an Indian family.




We found our friend Katie standing under the Gandhi statue about 3 days ago, and have been exploring the rest of Gangtok with her. Durga Puja has put the town and the rest of Sikkim at a standstill. Transportation is even more difficult, but that should change soon.

Katie and I had high tea at the Elgin in Pelling. Nice tea, sandwiches without crusts, and the clouds dancing around snowcapped peaks in the sunset.



Aaron has stayed back in Gangtok, to catch up with us partway through our trek.
Hopefully work will come through after that.
