Another wonderful couple of days roaming around the countryside. Matt and Lucy came to visit from Thimphu and Dave came up from Pakshika. We had a bit of a dinner party with chile and rice, cake and custard and wine. The next morning we got a really slow start and took the other road to Bjapcho. It was warm and sunny so we walked to the Lakhang and simply sat around in the sun watching the clouds mist over the mountain and the deity's cave.
Afterwards we drove to Dave's in Pakshika where we had another dinner party with friends of his. Bonfire, food and a big sleep. This morning Dave started a fire to heat water. We had a huge breakfast of buckwheat pancakes and ate outside in the sun. It is at least 10 degrees warmer where he is - about two hours drive, maybe 60 kilometres, south of here.
His young neighbour wandered into the house and picked up his ukelele and sat on the steps to serenade us. She played and sang while we cooked.

We walked down the road to this site where Dave pulled out some snacks and beers. It was SO warm and lovely for us cold hill dwellers.
