lil' summin' for da kids

---

today was a beautiful day in the neighborhood. i woke up early and ate my usual muesili on the roof and did some thangs around the house and some exercises...then ventured out and went to the green shop and recycled and got more water...a very cool place, with a very cool absent minded sweet old man. highlight for sure. i got some much needed supplies for camp. and got some coffee at moonpeak and went to and walked around the greater temple circumbulation path....and it was so pleasant and peaceful for many reasons. then i met tenzin and talked to him and went and ate a veg burger and fries and mt. dew at the green hotel and then went to a movie..."travellers and magicians" check it. respect. then...more coffee at Tenyang coffee house and then bought some fruit. fantastic day. really was. yep. now i am off to read and sleep... oh...my stomach is ok now. thanks for all the love. i am such whiner....her? wink.

older woman on the path
it seems to me that many of the older tibetans make this circumbulation the most and it is fairly difficult path, but i have no business commenting on a difficult path for tibetan paths... they have seen more difficult paths than i could imagine.

the dogs
just another pack of mcloed ganj dogs...they sleep all day...and bark all night...and they are thier own ranked society up here.

looking back on the path
i think my dad will dig this one... and i think japhy would too.

questions...
Kota: "Why do you call them 'monkays'?" Rebekah: "Hi, and how are you doing?" CJ: "How long does it take you to do your laundry?" Joey: "Why is it so messy there?" Kota: "What are Tibetans like?" Rebekah: "The mountains look nice." CJ: "Are there any zoos there?" Mom: "What's the altitude there?" Joey: "Have you gone into the jungle?" We all love you and miss you!! XOXOXO
