Incredible Journey
I think the title says it all. You guys are incredibly courageous and lucky to have made this happen. Great memories, it will be hard to return to the real little materialistic world now. Love, Aunt Judy

What a trek!!
Great photos!! What a lovely place and those that are not afraid to hike are the fortunate ones that get to see that beautiful valley with the stream running through it!! I assume there are no roads or path for a motorcycle? Anyway, you got to see it and we did too!! Hope you both are doing well-----Amy, it looks like you have lost some weight. Am I correct? You both look great even though you are somewhat homesick. We miss you too!!

Response to Janet
Hi Janet, believe it or not, that river valley is about 100 feet from the main town...it runs right alongside it, so no major hiking required! And yes, thank you, I have dropped quite a bit of weight since we've been traveling...Jeremy has, too, poor skinny guy, even though he didn't have much to lose...but we're settling in and feeling great! Hope you and Don are well.
