Mountain Adventures


A bathroom without porcelain,
And some other shots from a recent village trip...

Talking to my wife- I could get a phone signal if I stood in just the right place and did not turn my head while talking! Phone battery was running low, though, and there was no electricity in the village.


So how does one cook without electricity here?


Having stormed early in the morning, we left on wet mountain ledges- the scariest driving I had ever done. At one spot we had to stop to let a truck coming from the opposite direction pass. Thankfully, this stretch of road was not one of the steep inclines, and it was wide enough to pass. But just to be safe we stopped as close to the mountain as possible. This was a real slippery section. All turned out well.
