... la ventanilla del avión, ver esas casitas, monasterios y edificios con una construcción tan pintoresca, alpina, con ese diseño tan particular con guardas de figuras y flores de todos los colores.

That rest day was on Richard's 66th birthday (Oct 21) and we enjoyed a celebration with fellow trekkers and guides, cooks, horsemen, yak herders...all dancing in the ...
