the lama children - a photo on Flickriver

the lama children

            these are the lama children - they live in the village of ghale kharka.

the little girl is very sweet - every morning she asks me with a hopeful smile "you running?" - an invitation to come and play tag.

her little brother stomps around the sanjana guesthome yard - always around.   he can kick a soccer ball a good 40 feet and bellow "gooooaaaaallll!" and fly into the air after contact and flop flat on his back.  then get up and do it again.  the smile he gave me after i had left ghale khara and returned after a month was one of the best moments of my life.  

i sincerely hope that as more of the annapurna region opens to teahouse trekking that ghale kharka will see its share.  the genuine hospitality shown to me there, while typical of the impeccable standards of nepali culture, went somehow even farther to a place where i truly felt comfortable and at home.
