We have started from #Tabo and are heading for Dhankar Monastery.

We stopped on the way out from Tabo, to click a photo of the Tabo bridge. Coming to think of it, I have been feeling like a little kid on this trip so far – wanting to touch and feel and taste everything new and old, and of course to talk to everyone I meet.

Am a little low on energy today, nothing in particular just a general lack of ease. At the moment I am just rolling with it but soon will have to take some energy from the environment and dispel this mood.

Thinking on it, I find myself in need of solitude of the starkest kind.
