I'm taking advantage of my weekend in Pokhara. Decided to book a paragliding flight. Was such a great experience. A great way to get to know the lay of the land, filled with valleys and mountains, Fewa lake and of course the Himalaya in the distance. I was lucky that I decided to do this today. Monsoon season is overdue and my paragliding pilot said he was leaving Nepal on Sunday. It's the end of the season and as I'm sitting here I can feel the winds bringing in some possible rain! 'Pete the Pilot' is from the Czech Republic but spent 10 years in Jackson Hole ski patrolling, bar tending and flying. The typical Alpine life! He's plugged into the outdoor community and we even know the same people! Was fun talking about the great outdoors with someone! I love how the outdoor community is filled with a network of people. Someone knowing someone. Great flight, great conversation.
Who knows what tomorrow brings?
(Pictures will have to wait. It's difficult finding an internet place with the correct hardware for my camara. It will come in due time!)
