Golden rock, meditating with others, room with a view!
Great adventures as usual--glad you didn't have to walk up there and sleep on the ground! How wonderful that you got to share with the Burmese meditator that yes, westerners meditate too. And that view from your window was fantastic. Glad your dream came true!
