Day 7:
The Austrian party stayed up late after dinner drinking well into the night. Ama sleeps in the room where we eat so she is looking tired also. Boyd fixed the light so that it had a switch. They looked a little confused when he offered to do it for them.
We trotted down hill to Gumnachawk in god time stopping at a guest house called riverside that has a beautiful stream to play in. The other guests are lovely and Tara is drinking up the opportunity to chat. The owner (Dowa) is unfriendly though and I feel it intensely. Missing Gaunshaha. The dog that has followed us all this way has a sore leg and I saw Dpwa throwing a rock at him so feeling sad for our dog friend too. :-(
Boyd:
Langtang- on the tourist conveyor belt. Many trackers, nearly all with porters and guides. 60 year old Europeans, wearing Earings, drinking beer, all with plenty money. They whole area is catering to them and has lost their traditional ways.Hard to find culture. The local family sent their 8 and 10 year old to Kathmandu boarding school. Its amazing to see female porters carrying 2x 30kg rice bags.
Feeling a little disappointed at not having a final goal to achieve.
Its hard work to be 100% focused on walking with he children very slowly. On our way home now so feeling much better. Missing being part of the community at Gaunshaha.
