PENCIL TRICKS
I stopped at this boy’s home and gave all the children a pencil. This young lad found many things to do with his pencil. Here he is sticking it up his nose! Little boys are creative aren’t they!

DWELLING ON HILLSIDE ON A TRAIL IN THE ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT.
DRAGONFLY
I spied this dragonfly as we were trekking.
NEPALI LADY
This lady was walking down the path beside where we were taking a break. I had just given some children some pencils. Her and her friend kind of stopped and hung around. Our guide then told me that they also want a pencil. They stayed around awhile and she enjoyed the little butt of a cigarette she had left. It was down to 1/3 inch but when she dropped it, she picked it up and was going to enjoy it to the end!
NICE VASE
The footballers gave us this vase as a 40th anniv. gift. I then had it filled with 20 roses. Note two of our grandsons playing football in the right side background.
FOURTIETH ANNIVERSARY COUPLE
We celebrated with our family on the rooftop of a restaurant under a section of tin roof in a torrential downpour! Precious memories. Some amazing lightning and thunder.
FOURTIETH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIION
I wanted to celebrate our 40th anniv. with the footballers I play with on weekends so I had a special meal ordered for them for after our game. They also came with this cake.

POON HILL OR BUST
Here I am taking a break in my 300 m climb from our hotel (Hotel Snowland) to Poon Hill which is at 3,210 m (10, 531.496 063 feet). I could tell that I was at a high altitude, because of the frequent rest stops I needed.
