October 1, I am  going to trek the Annapurna Circuit, a circumlocution of one of the major Himalayan peaks. This what is called a ‘teahouse trek’ as I’ll be staying in village huts along the route and eating with the villagers. The trek will take 2 1/2 weeks and will go from semi-tropical lowlands to one pass that is slightly under 18000 ft. and  possible zero degree temperatures. Wish me well.

I WILL RESUME BLOGGING ON MY RETURN — November 1
