Everest is that way ladies


12.2.2012

All is quiet in the rooms to my right.  After a six am trek to the viewtop for a typically heavenly sunrise and breakfast they’re crashing until lunch at eleven for pizzas, curry chicken with rice, mushroom soup, apple momos and what else.  A poor sleep last night thinking far too much about nothing.  Maya is in the kitchen alone, I suppose I should help her for lunch.  Ok she has plenty of help.  The boisterous Thai ladies are no strangers in the kitchen and I eat and return to the room eventually.  Two were disappointed Lamjung and Annapurna were not Everest.  “This no Everest?”

Everything good comes from a farm.  The most recent acquisition of fine organic bud is a nice change from the head thinking body relaxer crème.  The smoke it makes though, and the smell it leaves brings wanderers to the end of the terrace.  I keep the door open as much as possible for though the air is cool it is fresh and clean and damn the torpedoes full speed ahead mate.

Didi is cleaning the rooms.  Early for her I was going to start on it but she had to have been told by Maya.  Tourists have checked into room three.  I see.  I might go down to Lakeside tomorrow and then will do it again on Friday and stay overnight to see the sunrise from the Peace Pagoda.  After that and breakfast a must have to visit with Nyima, at least, to make an appointment on the 22nd of December for an exorcism. 

Yawn.  Children definitely make life so quiet when they are at school. Large Himalayan Vultures swoop close in the upper garden and I have tired of carrying a camera around.  A thousand images on facshbook? 

Talk of a thousand people and gone is my idea of what will work for 12.21.12.  The man in room five coughs loudly at his door.  Am I that loud when someone is in room five?  People getting crazy in Russia, today has been Sunday all day.  I’d wager he hasn’t smoked too much. 

Peanuts in a bag.  Whoa, did I just ask if there were peanuts available in the market.  Coincidence.  Hmmm…what can I ask for that I know will never show up?
